Many iconic J-pop songs have been tied up with Aquarius commercials, and this track is arguably the most representative of them all! It’s one of the signature songs by Mr.Children, the band that has led the Japanese music scene since their debut in 1989.

Released in 1994, the song was featured in an Aquarius commercial and went on to top the year-end singles chart that same year.

Its smooth, flowing, and irresistibly catchy melody line is truly outstanding.

Mr.Children “Mirai” Mr.Children STADIUM TOUR 2011 SENSE -in the field-

Mr.Children is a four-piece rock band known for consistently producing numerous hit songs and ranking among the top in the J-POP scene in terms of sales.

“Mirai,” included on their 27th single Four Dimensions—an unusual release where every track is treated as an A-side with a commercial tie-in—was used as the theme song for Otsuka Pharmaceutical’s Pocari Sweat commercial.

The chorus melody, which gives a sense of weightless floating, perfectly fits the image of a refreshing soft drink.

It’s a breezy pop tune with a pleasant intro where blues harp and guitar arpeggios blend together.

Mr.Children “overture ~ Resurrection” Mr.Children TOUR POPSAURUS 2012

This commercial shows people who, upon turning 30, continue to take on new challenges, while also conveying how Attack supports them.

The efforts—and the resulting stains—of soccer player Keisuke Honda, performer Naomi Watanabe, and French chef Shintaro Ababa evoke a positive, forward-looking attitude toward challenges.

The song that further accentuates the refreshing mood of the visuals, which feel like stepping into the future, is Mr.Children’s “Sosei” (“Resurrection”).

It’s a song that portrays standing back up after a fall and continuing to challenge oneself, expressing a strong will to face difficulties.
