Mr.Children “Footsteps ~Be Strong” MUSIC VIDEO

Mr.Children’s “Ashioto ~Be Strong” was released in 2015 and was written as the theme song for the film “Nobunaga Concerto.” With its gentle yet grand sound driven by resonant strings, the strength embedded in the music feels like a message calling out to the listener.

The lyrics portray steps toward the future and the feelings that accompany them, offering courage to those who are afraid to move forward.

In 2025, it was featured in a Sumitomo Life commercial; precisely because it’s such a powerful and positive song, it makes the commercial’s forward-looking spirit stand out even more.

Mr.Children 「innocent world」 MUSIC VIDEO

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「Any」Music Video(Short ver.)

This is a single released by Mr.Children in 2002.

It served as the tie-in song for the NTT DoCoMo Group’s 10th Anniversary, coinciding with Mr.Children’s own 10th anniversary.

It may be less well-known among their singles, but it’s a masterpiece that teaches the importance of staying true to yourself when there’s no clear right answer.

The melody really sinks in, and above all, the lyrics are so good that they draw you in.

The mobile phone era feels nostalgic, doesn’t it? The song overflows with a kind of kindness that helps you feel connected to others and accept yourself.

The lyric “I want to be your strength again and again” is empowering, and I believe many people have been helped by this song over the years.

[Beautiful Girls TV Commercial] | Yui Aragaki | KOSE ESPRIQUE (15-second commercial) ♪ “Melody” (Mr. Children) 2014

With the theme of “Adult Rich,” this commercial features Yui Aragaki appearing with a sophisticated, mature makeup look.

Amid the cohesive, understated makeup, a pop of vivid pink lipstick catches the eye.

True to its name—derived from a rouge that melts and fits like fondue—it delivers a melt-in, silky touch and a snug adherence to the lips.

In keeping with the product name, the lipstick is dipped into pink fondue!

fantasy

This commercial conveys the comfortable driving experience of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer through the lens of a family.

The way it glides lightly through the forest, along with the smiles of the family during the journey and at their destination, clearly expresses that comfort.

The song that further highlights this bright, smile-filled atmosphere is “fantasy” by Mr.

Children.

With its gentle rhythm, refreshing melody, and soaring vocals in perfect harmony, it’s a beautiful track that evokes positive feelings.

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.
