SeptemberEarth, Wind & Fire96rank/position
This is a commercial introducing that Hon-Kirin won many awards at international contests.
At the beginning, Yosuke Eguchi pours Hon-Kirin into a glass and is shown drinking it deliciously.
Matching the footage, the narration, framed as a letter to Mr.
Eguchi, tells that it received as many as 11 awards at international contests.
It’s a commercial that clearly conveys that Hon-Kirin is a beer that’s excellent in both name and reality.
Are You Gonna Be My GirlJet97rank/position
This commercial from HiKOKI, which meets a wide range of needs in electrical equipment work, introduces a cordless vacuum pump, highlighting its ease of use and the excitement it brings.
While showing footage of an actual worksite, the workers’ smiles convey the product’s user-friendly, feature-rich design.
It also gives the impression of promoting the idea that safety on the job leads to peace of mind for the people who live and work there.
Further enhancing the sense of fulfillment depicted in the visuals is the song “Are You Gonna Be My Girl” by JET.
With its light, striking band sound and crisp rhythms, it vividly expresses a sense of fun.
Let It BeThe Beatles98rank/position
The Beatles’ “Let It Be” was released in 1970 and is one of the band’s signature songs, a classic that stands out in music history.
The fact that both the album title and the song share the name “Let It Be” also makes it feel like a particularly special track.
Its structure builds from a quiet piano-and-vocal opening to gradually layered instrumentation, conveying a sense of human connection and warmth.
In Japan, it was used in a commercial for Toshiba’s IC Stereo Boston, and the choice to feature a song by such a historic band in an audio equipment ad reflects strong confidence in the product’s quality.
You Really Got MeThe Kinks99rank/position
This is a commercial introducing the Nama-Jokki Can, which lets you open the entire mouth of the can so you can enjoy a taste as if you were drinking from a beer mug.
In this ad, of course it talks about how delicious Asahi is when drunk from the Nama-Jokki Can, but it especially focuses on that first sip.
After watching this commercial, there are probably quite a few beer lovers who immediately feel like having a drink.
The BGM features the upbeat, feel-good track “You Really Got Me.” Originally released by The Kinks in 1964, the song has been arranged in the commercial to feel even catchier.
Y.M.C.A.Village People100rank/position
This commercial introduces how great a deal Y!mobile’s student discount is and appeals to the idea that it adds fun to everyday life.
JO1 performs a dance in school uniforms, and their sharp moves and expressions convey the excitement of using it affordably.
The song that further amplifies the dynamism depicted in the visuals is JO1’s rendition of “Y.M.C.A.” With a glamorous sound that pays homage to the Village People’s original and layered with cheerful vocals, it creates a positive atmosphere.
