This commercial features Kanna Hashimoto, who says she “loves beer,” looking blissful as she drinks.
It’s an ad for Dry Crystal, notable for its 3.5% alcohol content.
Seeing a self-proclaimed beer lover enjoy it so much makes you think, “Even with a lower alcohol content, it must really taste good,” right? Matching the bright visuals, the BGM uses Vaundy’s catchy track “Tokimeki.” Released in 2021, the song is marked by a light, pleasant melody that makes you want to hum along.

A commercial featuring singer-songwriter Vaundy, popular especially among young people, promoting Spotify’s appeal of letting you listen to your favorite music anytime, together with his 2023 release “ZERO.” Set to a grand, rock-inflected sound, it depicts a man’s feelings before getting on a roller coaster.
With a serious expression, he puts on his earphones—conveying the idea that listening to music on Spotify boosts his energy.
The footage of him, now resolved, boarding the roller coaster pairs perfectly with the lyrics that encourage taking a step forward while facing a range of emotions.

This song, which opens with Vaundy’s whisper-like vocals, might be familiar to J-POP fans from YouTube recommendations or playlists on iTunes and Spotify.
It was also featured in several commercials—such as Suntory BOSS Caffeine’s “Awake? Meeting” spot and NTT Docomo’s youth support film “#Seishun Time Trip”—so even those who don’t actively listen to music may recognize it.
The lyrics, which earnestly wish for peace and a world where everyone can live happily, are sure to move you, so be sure to listen while reading along with the words.

Chocolate is a special presence among sweets, isn’t it? Within the cuteness of “sweets,” it also carries the romantic image of Valentine’s Day.
That sweetness, the way it melts in your mouth, its jewel-like appearance—all of it makes chocolate something special.
Among chocolate treats, “Alfort” is especially popular, and the song “napori,” used in its commercial, is one of singer-songwriter Vaundy’s signature tracks.
“napori” is a warm, romantic song that feels like two hearts melting together with warmth and becoming one.
It’s a perfect match for the image of chocolate!
Seriously, sayonara baby.Vaundy12rank/position
This is an iPhone commercial that also serves as the trailer for the film “last scene,” directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda.
You might wonder, “Why is a movie trailer an iPhone ad?” The truth is, the film was shot on the iPhone 16 Pro.
You’d never guess just by watching the footage, but it really drives home how advanced the iPhone’s camera has become.
The background music features an original song by Vaundy titled “Majide, Sayonara Baby.” Its lyrics, overflowing with feelings for a beloved person who’s no longer here, are sure to move many viewers.
How could I possibly know?Vaundy13rank/position
This is a song by Vaundy that portrays someone moving forward while engaging in self-questioning and internal conflict.
Released as a single in April 2025, it was featured not only in Sony Life’s commercial “Let’s Love Our Purpose in Life” but also as the theme song for the drama “PJ: Air Rescue Group.” The chorus’s beautifully grand melodic line is striking, and you can fully enjoy Vaundy’s expansive vocals.
It’s a song I recommend listening to while looking at the lyric sheet, imagining the feelings woven into the words.

Vaundy’s “Wasuremono” (“Lost Property”) was released as a single in 2022 and later included on the 2023 album “replica.” It features an aggressive band sound and striking, emotionally charged vocals, giving the impression of raw, unfiltered feelings and frustrations being laid bare.
The lyrics focus on things forgotten in everyday life and memories, depicting both the things one never wants to forget and the sadness of forgetting.
As a commercial song, it was used in a McDonald’s ad starring Junichi Okada, where, under the theme of “a burger that transcends time,” the track conveys the excitement surrounding the return of a revived burger.
