“Uni” is a song written by Hakushi Hasegawa, a buzzworthy singer-songwriter, for the Google Pixel 6 commercial.

The opening harmony spanning a perfect fifth and the androgynous vocals create a distinctive sound that really sticks in your ears.

Partway through the commercial, there’s also a scene where the title of Hasegawa’s song “Watashi o Mite,” which was used as an insert song in the original animated series Artiswitch distributed on YouTube, makes an appearance.

This commercial, titled the “Life Movie” edition, features a series of childhood photos of Minami Hamabe and promotes the idea that mutual aid is necessary because people always live side by side with various risks.

To visually convey that “risk is always by your side,” Mr.

Risk—played by Jiro Sato—appears in some of Hamabe’s childhood photos.

While the BGM helps create an initially moving atmosphere, Sato’s facial expressions add a humorous, surreal touch that’s worth noting.

The gentle background music, perfect for a slideshow, is Kishin Suzawa’s “Iindayo.” Its heartwarming lyrics, which remind you that there’s someone who accepts and watches over you, are a must-hear.

It was released in 2015 as Yu Takahashi’s 12th major single.

The song was used in the Daihatsu “Cast Activa” commercial, and its catchy chorus left a strong impression.

The music video also drew attention because Takahashi himself directed it, and the song was later covered by the female singer-songwriter Rihwa.

It’s used as a jingle in a takoyaki commercial.

There are even stories of many celebrities being encouraged by this song, so I believe countless people have been influenced by it.

It makes you feel like you can laugh and blow all your worries away.

Released in 1982, with lyrics by Yasushi Akimoto and music by Kyohei Tsutsumi.

This medium-tempo track became a hit, staying on the charts for more than half a year.
