Kana Hanazawa “Ren'ai Circulation” Full Size (Live Video) [COVER]

This commercial features Tamura Hono, overwhelmed with work, refreshing herself by drinking TEA from the Craft Boss world and showing off a dance to the music.

The song playing in the commercial is “Ren’ai Circulation” sung by Kana Hanazawa.

It’s well known as the opening theme of the anime Bakemonogatari.

The song’s appeal lies in its catchy chorus melody, but you should pay special attention to the A-melody, which has rapid-fire lyrics.

It’s also in a relatively high vocal range, so it’s recommended for women with higher voices.

Not only is it widely recognized, but its melody is easy on the ears even on first listen, so if you can sing it, give it a try.

It has also become a popular graduation song.

Kana Nishino “Pa” MV (Short Ver.)

As always, she sings an unbelievably cute song.

It’s the TV commercial song for Otsuka Foods’ “Vitamin Carbonated MATCH,” sung by Kana Nishino.

It’s a super positive, uplifting tune that blows away everyday anxieties, stress, and worries in a flash.

The lyrics that play on the idea of a carbonated drink are brilliant, too.

Hymn to LoveKoshiji Fubuki99rank/position

Koshiji Fubuki – Hymn to Love (from “Koshiji Fubuki: The Magnificent World”)

The bright expressions of Haruka Ayase and Saki Suzuki clearly evoke the connection between new clothes and a refreshed, sunny feeling.

Another highlight is the hummed cover of Fubuki Koshiji’s song “Hymne à l’amour,” which adds a relaxed atmosphere.

miwa “don’t cry anymore” Budokan ~acoguissimo~

It’s a song featured in a music commercial that also gained attention as a TV drama theme.

It pushes you forward with the resolve to live strongly and gives you courage.

The artist wrote both the lyrics and music, and I believe this track led to increased media exposure, including on television.
