Kobukuro Commercial Song and Popular Songs Ranking [2026]

Kobukuro is a popular artist loved by people of all ages, and I think they’re one of the artists you often hear in commercials.

This time, I put together a ranking of those songs we used to listen to a lot and those slightly nostalgic CM tracks.

If you’re a Kobukuro fan, you might remember them all.

Kobukuro “hana” (Lotte Ghana commercial song)
hanaKobukuro

Kobukuro’s “hana,” released digitally in 2015, was used as the theme song for Ghana Milk Chocolate’s commercial.

The music video features Tao Tsuchiya, Airi Matsui, and Suzu Hirose, who also appeared in the ad.

The song reflects the idea that who you are today is thanks to someone dear being by your side and supporting you gently.

Whether that person is a crush, a partner, a friend, or family, we’ve all had moments where we feel we can stand where we are now because of them.

It’s a song that reminds you of the importance of those special people in your life.

Crescent Moon Ayaka (covered by Kobukuro)

The Tsukimi Burger is a classic McDonald’s item for the moon-viewing season.

In a touching commercial, a parent and child who live apart eat Tsukimi Burgers while looking at the same moon, and the background music—Kobukuro’s rendition of “Mikazuki”—heightens the emotion even more.

The song is a cover of Ayaka’s signature 2006 hit “Mikazuki.” When Kobukuro sings it, the song takes on a completely different character in a male voice, doesn’t it? This track is included on their limited-release album “ALL COVERS BEST,” which came out in 2010 in a run of 400,000 copies.

Why do we travel?Kobukuro10rank/position

From the very first line, this Kobukuro travel song sweeps you into a vacation mood, and its gently woven melody grows more and more comforting.

It was included on their 2016 album “TIMELESS WORLD.” Chosen as the tie-in song for JR West’s “5th Anniversary of Sanyo–Kyushu Shinkansen Through Service,” its messages of hometown love and the many words painting dreams really resonate.

It makes you want to listen while swaying on a train.

You can feel the thrill of new experiences awaiting at your destination and the excitement of your heart opening up.

A warm, quintessential Kobukuro number—it sounds like it’ll make for a wonderful trip!

It’s a song included on Kobukuro’s 14th single, “Tsubomi,” released in 2007.

Right after its release, it was used in a Shinken Zemi university acceptance announcement commercial.

Thanks to the huge success of “Tsubomi,” this track also gained attention and, despite being a B-side, has become very popular among fans.

It’s a song that gives you the strength to look forward.

Kobukuro “Baton” Image Movie

Kobukuro’s “Baton,” chosen as the image song for Ono Pharmaceutical’s 300th-anniversary TV commercial, is a grand composition.

Centered on the theme of a life baton passed down through generations, it’s a moving tearjerker that sings of views on life and death, the meaning of living, and hope for the future.

The piano and vocals are exquisite.

The Sunlit PathKobukuro13rank/position

In the Kiyo Bank commercial featuring former female gymnast Rie Tanaka, Kobukuro’s “Hidamari no Michi” was played.

Released in 2014, the song was also used as the theme for the drama Black President.

Its gentle melody—woven with a simple arrangement of strings, piano, and acoustic guitar—brings a warm patch of sunshine to the heart.

The lyrics convey a tender message: even without any extraordinary happiness, it’s enough to weave small, everyday joys together with the precious person that is you.

Try listening while thinking of someone important to you.

Nice commercial: Pepsi NEX Cover Series
LaylaKobukuro

This commercial features Kobukuro performing next to a bottle of Pepsi, highlighting its powerful, refreshing zing.

Seeing the duo in black outfits delivering a rock-style performance also gives it a fresh, new feel.

The track that accentuates the video’s powerful energy and crisp exhilaration is Kobukuro’s rendition of “Layla.” The song is originally known as a track by Derek and the Dominos, Eric Clapton’s band.

While Kobukuro is generally associated with a more acoustic image, this song conveys their intent to break new ground with a rock-inspired vibe.
