Detective Conan is a beloved national anime in Japan, and its theatrical films are hugely popular with people of all ages.
In the film released in April 2023, Detective Conan: Black Iron Submarine, it also made waves because the theme song was done by none other than Spitz.
This is the “Conan SIDE” version of a collaboration commercial between Spotify and Detective Conan: Black Iron Submarine, featuring Spitz’s song Utsukushii Hire (Beautiful Fin) as the BGM—making it an irresistible clip for fans of both.

Magic Wordssupittsu51rank/position
The theme is Coming of Age Day, and this commercial packs an emotional parent–child story into just one minute.
In the beginning, the narrator expresses gratitude to the mother who wakes them every morning with a cheerful “good morning” and prepares the usual breakfast.
Then, on the morning of Coming of Age Day depicted in the latter half, the son prepares breakfast for his mother, and we see her eating it through tears.
It’s such a moving story that it brings tears to the eyes of the viewer as well.
The BGM that colors this CM is “Mahou no Kotoba,” a song the same age as the new adults of 2025.
From the year of its release to its lyrics and overall feel, every aspect makes it a perfect match for this commercial.
Yoko of the Port, Yokohama, YokosukaDaun Taun Bugiugi Bando52rank/position
Downtown Boogie Woogie Band’s “Minato no Yōko, Yokohama, Yokosuka,” released in 1975, is an alluring track with a cool vibe.
It’s remembered for its distinctive structure—a powerful, guitar-riff-driven sound layered with spoken vocals.
The mentions of Yokohama and Yokosuka in the lyrics are also striking, and the song is beloved as a local anthem.
Thanks to its unique spoken delivery and handy, question-posing phrases, that aspect has been spotlighted and used in commercials, including for Nidec.
Lullaby of a Serrated HeartChekkāzu53rank/position
This is a commercial announcing that the Grimace Shake, a huge hit after its 2024 release, will be back for a limited time in 2025.
The Grimace Shake is inspired by McDonald’s mascot, Grimace, and is said to be a blueberry yogurt flavor.
Its taste is introduced in a parody version of the Checkers’ signature song “Gizagiza Heart no Komoriuta,” so be sure to listen closely.
Journey of the Heartchūrippu54rank/position
It’s no exaggeration to call “Kokoro no Tabi” Tulip’s signature song; it was released as their third single.
Since Kazuo Zaitsu wrote it while thinking of the girlfriend he parted with when he moved to Tokyo, it’s truly heartrending.
The scenes come to mind and bring you to tears.
It was used in a commercial for the Toyota Carina.
LG21 MarchTōtasu Matsumoto, Miyazaki Aoi (saki wa daiji)55rank/position
This is the commercial for Meiji Probio Yogurt LG21, titled “LG21 March: Company Cafeteria.” In the company cafeteria, Aoi Miyazaki lets out a sigh as she faces a hearty, deep-fried lunch.
Then Tortoise Matsumoto appears, cheerfully singing.
While singing, he highlights the recommended points of the yogurt and looks like he’s having a great time, and Aoi Miyazaki ends up starting to sing as well.
They both look like they’re having fun (lol).
Treasure ~Until This Voice Fades Away~Naoto Intiraymi56rank/position
Naoto Inti Raymi is a singer-songwriter who travels the world performing music.
His song “Takaromono ~Kono Koe ga Nakunaru made~,” which is upbeat yet tinged with melancholy, was chosen as the commercial song for AOKI’s “Mote Slim Wash Suit: The ‘Want to Get Closer’ Edition.”
