MISIA’s “A Never-Ending Story” was released in 2002 and was also used as the theme song for Mitsubishi Electric’s “Keeping Society Moving” commercial.
It’s a ballad that unfolds with a quiet, piano-centered atmosphere, gradually gaining strength toward the end and conveying a powerful sense of hope.
The lyrics give the impression of moving forward into the future, and combined with her resounding vocals, they evoke the strength to take a step ahead.
The commercial depicts Mitsubishi Electric’s initiatives and conveys the company’s commitment to supporting society for a better future.

This commercial introduces the limited-time peach series from McCafé while also conveying that McCafé is perfect for a little detour.
It depicts Aoi Miyazaki and Suzu Hirose taking a side trip, and you can feel from their expressions that they’re having a fulfilling time.
The song that further emphasizes the cheerful mood of the visuals is PUFFY’s “Kore ga Watashi no Ikiru Michi” (“This Is the Way I Live”).
With lyrics that seem to portray the emotions found in everyday life and a laid-back sound that carries a slightly languid vibe, it expresses a sense of fun.

This is the Shiseido sunscreen ANESSA commercial titled “Answer,” featuring tennis player Naomi Osaka.
Athletes often play under the sun, so there’s a common perception that tanning is inevitable.
However, UV rays are harmful to the skin.
This commercial clearly conveys that even athletes rely on it.
The CM song is “Summertime,” a collaboration by Nariaki Kobukuro, RIRI, and KEIJU.
A Little Love SongSalyu32rank/position
This is the Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS commercial “A Mysterious 4-gram Card: Life at a Crossroads,” featuring Araki Sugo and Misaki Hattori.
A credit card is just one of many payment methods, but this ad captures moments where hearts connect through it.
What makes this warm, dramatic CM even more memorable is the BGM, “Chiisana Koi no Uta.” Originally a signature song by MONGOL800, the commercial uses a cover version by Salyu.
Her tender yet resolute vocals and the beautiful choral work make for a wonderful arrangement—be sure to listen closely.

I hope it continues to spread and encourage people in the future.

The song used in the Hoyu hair color commercial featuring Aya Omasa was “Futari” by aiko.
Although the track was released in 2008, it wasn’t chosen for the commercial until six years later, in 2014.
The lyrics portray the bittersweet realization that the person you have feelings for is actually thinking of someone else.
Many people have likely experienced a situation similar to what the song describes.
In the lyrics, the narrator says she realized the other person had feelings for someone else before she fell completely for them, yet the tone elsewhere suggests she’s already deeply smitten and unable to stop her feelings.
It’s a poignant song that tells the story of a love with nowhere to go.

In the Mercari commercial that aired in 2020, Aiko’s song “Aozora” was featured.
Released in the same year as the commercial, the song portrays the end of a painful love.
Many people have probably experienced something similar to what the lyrics describe—feeling so heartbroken that looking back only makes it worse after a breakup.
For times when you feel, “I can’t move forward just yet,” or “I want to linger a little longer in a past love,” this is a song that gently stays by your side.
