TUBE is a rock band from Kanagawa Prefecture known for songs like “Season in the Sun” and “Aa Natsuyasumi.” Their track “Natsu da ne” is a pop song whose refreshing tone evokes summertime scenes swaying in the breeze.
The clear, airy keyboard sounds give it a pleasant, nostalgic ’90s vibe.
Compared to TUBE’s other songs, this one has a slower tempo, putting you in a relaxed mood, as if you’re taking a break on the beach.

This commercial announces that [Alexandros] will appear at the Pocky Music Festival, where applicants and artists perform together, and it builds excitement for the event.
It starts by showing live footage on a smartphone screen, then transitions to on-site visuals, conveying a strong sense of moving closer to the goal.
The song that further emphasizes the power embedded in such simple imagery is [Alexandros]’s “Backseat.” The blend of a driving band sound and soaring vocals is striking, evoking a refreshing atmosphere and a positive, forward-looking feeling.

This is one of the tracks from DOES, the three-piece rock band best known for “Shura” (Cloudy Sky), released in 2009 as the band’s first double A-side single.
It was used in a Pocky chocolate commercial.
A rock tune with a smooth band sound and an exhilarating sense of speed.
The lyrics, which liken the ebb and flow of waves to the push and pull of romance, give your heart a squeeze.
It seems open to many interpretations as a love song, too.
After one listen, you’re left feeling just a little brighter.

The single “Tsurezure Monochrome/Ryuusenkei” was the first release by Fujifabric as a three-member lineup.
It’s a double A-side single: “Tsurezure Monochrome” served as the theme song for the anime Tsuritama, and “Ryuusenkei” was used as the CM song for the Pocky Chocolate Space Shower TV version.
With its expansive chorus and a melody that becomes addictive after just one listen, it’s sure to stick in your head.
It’s a highly recommended track for those moments when you want to push yourself a bit or get pumped up.

Image Training, featured in the Pocky Chocolate Space Shower TV version, is a track by the rock band NICO Touches the Walls, who sadly disbanded in 2019.
The song appears on their major-label debut mini-album How are you? and is a remake from their indie days.
NICO’s songs carry a wistful yet refreshing quality with a pleasant sense of drive, and this track really expands on that “image.” It may have been the song that helped define their subsequent direction and band style.
A masterpiece that always wraps you in an emotional feeling whenever you listen.

Venus Mousse was a unit formed by four members—Kaori Iida, Mari Yaguchi, Maki Goto, and Hitomi Yoshizawa—selected from Morning Musume’s lineup in the summer of 2002 for a Mousse Pocky commercial.
This song conveys a sense of gentleness and warmth that perfectly matches the image of Mousse Pocky, known for its light, fluffy texture.
If you were a Morning Musume fan back then, you might have even taken part in the campaign for the limited-edition CD that only people who purchased Pocky could apply for.
