GIRL TALKAmuro Namie71rank/position
It’s the commercial song for Mandom’s LUCIDO-L.
The lyrics feel like a lively girls’ night anthem that’s easy to relate to.
Although it’s a 2004 track, it doesn’t feel dated or merely nostalgic even now—very much a testament to Amuro.
It’s a dance number characteristic of her, and the choreography in the music video is incredibly cool.
TOMORROWMayo Okamoto72rank/position
It’s a famous song by Mayo Okamoto that everyone has heard.
The track itself was released in 2000, but it was only recently used in a commercial—for Y!mobile.
It’s an encouraging anthem that cheers up a hurt friend, featuring vivid depictions of real-life situations and straightforward lyrics that leave a strong impression.

This commercial conveys the eye-catching, cool performance through the image of Hiromi Iwasaki watching a Subaru Leone speed past.
Because the footage focuses on the Leone in motion, the sense of speed is clearly expressed.
Further emphasizing that stylish atmosphere is Hiromi Iwasaki’s song “Kaleidoscope.” Its uniquely floating sound and cool vocals leave a strong impression, vividly conveying a mature mood and emotions like the hidden passion within the heart.

This commercial shows Hiromi Iwasaki driving Subaru’s new Leone, conveying its various onboard features and smooth, comfortable ride.

The song used to enhance the ad’s refreshing atmosphere is Iwasaki’s “Joyu” (“Actress”).
Its sound is striking for blending calmness with a light touch, and the percussion timbres add a sense of passion.
The lyrics, which portray the life of an actress, evoke an image of strength.
TouchIwasaki Yoshimi75rank/position
This is a commercial from Sumitomo Mitsui Card announcing that some public transportation in the Kansai region now allows you to pass through the ticket gates using contactless credit card payments.
Set to a parody of the theme song from the anime “Touch,” the ad promotes the ability to ride with tap-to-pay, resulting in a very catchy and memorable commercial.
DEAR…againHirose Kōmi76rank/position
A commercial from Alpen, which handles sports equipment including ski gear.
The song featured in this CM, “DEAR…again,” is sung by the Winter Queen, Kōmi Hirose.
Although Hirose is known for many poppy, exuberant winter tunes that seem to blow away the cold, this track has a slightly bittersweet finish.
The lyrics, which capture a fragile wish to spend Christmas together despite growing distant from a long-distance lover, are truly moving.
It’s a song that resonates with the slightly sentimental feelings that surface before Christmas.
Letter to TomorrowTeshima Aoi77rank/position
Aoi Teshima’s “Ashita e no Tegami” (Letter to Tomorrow) was released in 2014, and the version re-recorded as the ending theme for the 2016 drama “Love That Makes You Cry” also drew attention.
Its piano-centered acoustic sound layered with a delicate, ephemeral vocal tone moves listeners’ hearts.
The lyrics read like a letter to a loved one, and their straightforward message creates a touching effect.
The song was also used in an Aflac commercial, whose narrative-style content portrays Aflac’s stance of supporting those struggling with cancer.
Embraced by the windTeshima Aoi78rank/position
Many people find that Aoi Teshima’s whisper-soft singing voice alone soothes the heart.
This track’s warm, classically tinged melody—woven from piano and strings—gently wraps around the listener.
And the lyrics’ determination to face forward despite inner conflict will surely resonate with many.
Scheduled for release in July 2025, it was originally a commercial song, and because its worldview aligned with the film “The Town with Storehouses,” it was also chosen as the theme song.
It’s a piece that lightens the heart when you’re feeling lost.
HOLIDAYSKimura Kaera79rank/position
This commercial introduces the term “Umajo,” which refers to women who love horse racing, and showcases ways women uniquely enjoy the racetrack.
Mitsuki Takahata, Tao Tsuchiya, and Wakana Aoi are shown enjoying spots like the UMAJO SPOT as Umajo, while Yuya Yagira and Taishi Nakagawa express their frustration at not being able to join in.
The content conveys a desire for people from a wide range of backgrounds to enjoy the racetrack.
Highlighting the fun, lively atmosphere is Kaela Kimura’s song “HOLIDAYS.” Its upbeat sound and light, breezy vocals are striking and perfectly capture the cheerful vibe of a day off.

The dreamy feel of the lyrics is a perfect match for the festive Christmas atmosphere.
How about using it as background music for a Christmas party?
