White LoversKuwata Keisuke1rank/position
It is a lyrical ballad that depicts the bittersweet feelings of love in winter.
Released in October 2001, it is a work by Keisuke Kuwata themed around the winter season.
Rather than simply mourning a love that has passed, it also carries a sense of celebrating the memories of love, portraying warm emotions alongside scenes of a city blanketed in falling snow.
It was used as the theme song for Coca-Cola’s “No Reason” campaign commercial, and later featured in UNIQLO’s “LifeWear” commercial, earning affection from a wide audience.
It is a heartwarming song to listen to when you want to heal a heart hurt by love or reflect on cherished memories.
Eyes On YouYamazaki Masayoshi2rank/position
This spring-filled commercial is for ladies’ newcomers’ suits.
Many viewers were likely moved by Hiyori Sakurada donning a suit, saying “Thank you” to her mother, and heading out.
The direction that shows her leaving the house over the years right at the doorway is also lovely.
The BGM features Masayoshi Yamazaki’s “Eyes On You.” Its lyrics—“Because I’ve been watching over you more than anyone”—are striking, and they fit this commercial’s story perfectly.
Can I call it magic?Hirai Ken3rank/position
Ken Hirai is a singer-songwriter born in Osaka Prefecture and raised in Mie Prefecture, active since 1995.
“May I Call It Magic?” was used as the TV commercial song for Panasonic’s 4K Camera.
It was released as his 40th single.
Eternal, unchanging loveOda Tetsurō4rank/position
The song from Otsuka Pharmaceutical’s “Pocari Sweat” commercial.
In 1992, the commercial that used this song featured Sae Isshiki, who was 15 at the time.
It’s a refreshing and bright song, yet tinged with a certain sadness.
Tetsuro Oda composed it for his older brother, who passed away at a young age.
Are You Even Real?James Blake5rank/position
It’s a deep, delicate song that wistfully sings about the meaning of existence.
Created by British singer-songwriter James Blake, it was released as a single in 2020.
This track was used in Apple’s “Behind the Mac” campaign.
The commercial itself was a documentary-style piece showing James Blake creating “Are You Even Real?” The profoundly human message and the ambient, atmospheric sound arrangement are absolutely breathtaking.
