Playing on the title of Gesu no Kiwami Otome’s song “Romance ga Arimaru,” which she hums and then becomes the BGM, the ad highlights the platform’s abundance of titles.

It’s a commercial that effectively conveys Mecha Comic’s appeal: you can enjoy a huge variety of works in a relaxed state.

This is a commercial for Oi Ocha Catechin Green Tea, released by Ito En’s flagship brand Oi Ocha, focusing on cholesterol and body fat care.

It looks so natural that many people might not have noticed until they were told.

The BGM uses Sadistic Mika Band’s “Time Machine ni Onegai.” Released in 1974, the song is characterized by its refreshing melody line.

Che’Nelle × TEE × LEO – “Fun Fun Christmas”

This song, which creates a festive mood from the very beginning like an overseas Christmas carol, is a collaboration by Che’Nelle, TEE, and LEO.

It was used as the CM song for Francfranc’s Christmas season and was also included on the omnibus album “Francfranc presents Fun Fun Christmas.” After the glamorous opening scene, it quickly shifts into an upbeat, high-energy section that you could call a party tune—perfect background music for a Christmas party.

ORANGE RANGE – Fashionable Boss feat. Soy Sauce

This commercial edits together dances by a variety of people holding Pocky, bringing them together as a single piece.

With the freedom in costumes and choreography, each person’s individuality shines, and that’s exactly why you can feel a kind of bond in everyone enjoying Pocky together.

The song that further highlights the fun of the dance is Nanao Akari’s “Oshare Banchō feat.

Soy Sauce.” Compared to ORANGE RANGE’s original, it gives a poppier impression, and its light arrangement really conveys the sense of fun.

Morning of PartingPedoro & Kapurishasu49rank/position

Morning of Parting

Pedro & Capricious’s “Wakare no Asa” (Morning of Parting) was released in 1971 and is known as one of the group’s signature songs.

The original is “Was Ich Dir Sagen Will” by Austrian singer Udo Jürgens, to which Rei Nakanishi added Japanese lyrics for this version.

The sound leans strongly toward kayōkyoku, giving it a different vibe from the original, and over this powerful arrangement the sorrow of parting is sung.

Because the song conveys a kind of strength that tries to shake off loneliness, when it’s used in commercials it tends to create an impression of emphasizing the power to move forward.
