Original song (Yay, you’re dazzling, Naomi~) shoutZa gojuukaitenzu1rank/position

This commercial, shot in monochrome, depicts a one-on-one showdown between Naomi Osaka and Kei Nishikori.

Seeing two athletes together—especially with an atmosphere hinting at a serious clash—gets your heart racing and glues your eyes to the screen, doesn’t it? The music that colors the direction is by The 50 Kaitenz.

From the very beginning, they throw in shouts that inject a sense of dynamism.

War and PoliticiansZa gojuukaitenzu2rank/position

The 50 Kaitenz / “War and Politicians” (2007)

The 50 Kaitenz are a three-piece rock band that operates under the concept that its members were once confined in the Osaka Rock ’n’ Roll Juvenile Reformatory.

Their song “War and Politicians,” included on their second album, 50 Kaitenz no Biribiri!!, stands out for its old-school ensemble feel.

The lyrics calmly criticize who starts wars and for whom, succinctly and precisely capturing the folly of history repeating itself.

It’s a song that portrays a cry for peace—melancholic yet catchy.
