Aimer “Beautiful World” Lyric Video

This song is notable for Aimer’s heartwarming vocals, which gently embrace deeply held feelings with a clear, transparent tone.

As the protagonist prepares to spread their wings into a vast world while holding an unforgettable dream close to their heart, the delicate piano and the grand string arrangement paint a beautiful picture.

Released in February 2025, the piece was written as the theme song for an Idemitsu Kosan commercial.

Woven into it are wishes for a hope-filled future and gratitude for the small happiness found in everyday life, making it an empowering track that quietly gives a push to anyone about to take a new step forward.

Aimer “Beyond the Sorrow” Studio Live for the 9th Anniversary

Aimer’s “Beyond the Sorrow” is a track included on the single “SPARK-AGAIN” as well as the album “Hoshi no Kieta Yoru ni” (On the Night the Stars Disappeared).

Its piano-centered, heartrending sound paired with Aimer’s fragile yet powerful vocals conveys a determination to push through suffering.

As the title suggests, the lyrics portray a resolve to move beyond sorrow, and the gradual shift toward a more positive outlook is truly moving.

It’s also notable that the song was used in an iichiko NEO commercial; set against grand, sweeping scenery, the track helps create an emotional atmosphere.

Cocco – The Strong and Ephemeral Ones [Video Clip Short]

Cocco’s second major-label single, “Tuyoku Hakanai Monotachi,” was used as the song for Japan Airlines’ “JAL Hawaii Campaign.” Her singing is very powerful, yet feels as if it might break with the slightest touch—somehow tinged with melancholy and sadness.

Perhaps it’s because her humanity shines through so strongly.

This commercial, which also suggests ways to use McDonald’s beyond just meals, is memorable for Aoi Miyazaki enjoying a Japanese-style Ichigo Daifuku Pie so deliciously.

Even though it’s quite an old track, it has retained its freshness and is recognized as a standard tune, isn’t it?
