I’m counting on you, I’ve got a bad feeling about this.SMAP1rank/position

It was released in 1996 as SMAP’s 20th single.
The song was used in a Kanebo Cosmetics “Testimo” commercial featuring member Takuya Kimura, and it reached No.
2 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.
The commercial, which became the catalyst for Takuya Kimura’s breakthrough, captivated many women.
The One and Only Flower in the WorldSMAP2rank/position

This song was used in a 2013 commercial for BOSS Gran Aroma featuring SMAP themselves.
When reports of their breakup surfaced, SMAP fans started buying the song again in an effort to somehow prevent the group from disbanding.
That’s how much this song came to symbolize SMAP.

They have already disbanded, but they were a nationally beloved former Johnny’s group that everyone knows.
It might sound odd to say “even though they’re from Johnny’s,” but the leader, Masahiro Nakai, is an outstanding TV show host even to an amateur eye, and I hope he keeps doing his best.
You can’t count on heroes of justice.SMAP4rank/position
SMAP’s second single, “Justice Doesn’t Have Your Back,” released in 1991, was used as the commercial song for the personal fax machine Otax.
It pairs Megumi Ogura, who was heavily involved in SMAP’s early lyrics, with Koji Makaino, a composer indispensable to Johnny’s.
The powerful beat combined with SMAP’s mischievous, straightforward vocals makes it an incredibly fun track.
The call-and-response parts will make you want to shout along! That uniquely SMAP burst of catchiness is inspiring no matter the era.
Dear WOMANSMAP5rank/position

SMAP, a beloved national group whose popularity has remained strong even after their disbandment in 2016.
Their 39th single, “Dear WOMAN,” was released in 2006.
The song was featured in a commercial for Shiseido’s shampoo TSUBAKI.
Many people likely recall the ad when they hear the chorus—an unforgettable hook that sticks in your head.
While the song seems to express beauty and gratitude toward women, it somehow conveys a grand, SMAP-esque kind of love.
SHAKESMAP6rank/position

SMAP’s “SHAKE” is the group’s 23rd single, released in 1996.
It was used as the theme song for their TV show and performed frequently at concerts, making it known as one of the group’s signature tracks.
With its light, dance-forward sound and vocals, along with the song’s lyrical worldview, it conveys a strong sense of fun.
The song was also featured in an NTT East Japan commercial in which the members appeared, lightly delivering the big news of reduced long-distance call rates.
Because it meshes with the buoyant track, the ad gives an impression that emphasizes enjoyment, exhilaration, and positive feelings.
SMAP No.5SMAP7rank/position

In 2007, SMAP appeared in a Pocari Sweat commercial, and in it they were chased by a dinosaur skeleton, with CG showing them drying out and turning into skeletons themselves.
The song is one of the tracks in the “SMAP Medley,” which was included as a B-side to their debut single, “Can’t Stop!! -LOVING-.”
