Southern All Stars CM Songs and Popular Songs Ranking [2026] (21–30)
Midsummer FruitSazan Ōrusutāzu21rank/position
Southern All Stars’ “Manatsu no Kajitsu” (Midsummer Fruit) is a song released in 1990 as the theme for the film Inamura Jane.
Its gentle acoustic sound is striking, and the lyrics portray poignant summer scenes.
Among Southern All Stars’ many hits, it could be considered a signature ballad.
As for commercial use, it was featured in a Recruit TV ad for Weekly B-ing starring Keisuke Kuwata; the contrast between the sorrowful song playing and Kuwata’s rapid speech in the commercial left a memorable impression.
Kamakura MonogatariSazan Ōrusutāzu22rank/position
A commercial for Uniqlo’s Soufflé Yarn knitwear series, known for its light and fluffy feel.
As Haruka Ayase is out for a walk, she runs into Yuki Saito, who’s filming a cat.
Playing on the words “Soufflé Yarn” and “nyan” (meow), the line “Soufflé Nyan” pops out.
With its autumnal setting, the ad really makes you feel that knitwear season has already arrived.
The background music is Southern All Stars’ “Kamakura Monogatari,” a gentle track featuring vocals by Yuko Hara.
Eternal love without endSazan Ōrusutāzu23rank/position
This is a commercial that explains the features of UNIQLO’s popular AIRism line.
The song playing in the background is Southern All Stars’ “Kagirinaki Towa no Ai” (“Endless Eternal Love”).
Its laid-back vibe seems to reflect the comfort of AIRism.
The commercial features Haruka Ayase and Kohei Matsushita.
The two of them walk together through a desert-like setting, chatting as they go.
Heart of the blue sky (No me? More no!)Sazan Ōrusutāzu24rank/position
In 1979, the MITSUYA CIDER commercial featured “Aoi Sora no Kokoro (No me? More no!).” The following year, it was released as the B-side of a single.
Southern All Stars have continued to appear in MITSUYA CIDER commercials, so there’s a long history between the band and the cider brand.
This “Aoi Sora no Kokoro (No me? More no!)” was created specifically for the commercial, and notably includes the word “cider” in its lyrics.
Its alluring vocal work set over a mid-tempo accompaniment is particularly captivating.
BLUE HEAVENSazan Ōrusutāzu25rank/position
This is the memorable 40th single, released in 1997.
The song, which depicts the end of a bittersweet love echoing at summer’s close, makes you want to slap your knee and say, “That’s Kuwata for you!” It’s a must-listen even if you’re not a fan.
It’s kind of mysterious how such a bittersweet breakup song could also fit a Kentucky Fried Chicken commercial.
The title “BLUE HEAVEN” literally means “blue heaven,” and while it might suggest a song set by the sea, there’s also an interpretation that the night sky, blurred by tears, looked blue.
How does it sound to you?
Dear JohnSazan Ōrusutāzu26rank/position
This is a UNIQLO cashmere product commercial themed around “things you should experience in life.” It presents events that enrich life, including both the good and the bad, and it’s a rather lovely ad, isn’t it? The background music is “Dear John” by Southern All Stars, from their 1984 album Let’s Go as Popular Stars.
The song is said to be a tribute to John Lennon of The Beatles.
Let It BoogieSazan Ōrusutāzu27rank/position
The LION “Zact Lion” commercial song.
It’s included on Southern All Stars’ second album, 10 Numbers Karat.
This album, which also features “Itoshi no Ellie,” won the Best Album Award at the 21st Japan Record Awards.
The commercial, aimed at people who smoked before the non-smoking boom arrived, was in a sense avant-garde.
MelodySazan Ōrusutāzu28rank/position
This is a UNIQLO Merino Wool commercial depicting an exchange in a record shop.
Among the many records in the store, Yumi Kawai picks up Southern All Stars’ “Melody,” which is also playing as the commercial’s BGM.
The man who came to the shop with her asks, “Was that before you were born?” Kawai replies, “Truly cool things stay cool forever.” Watching their exchange, Haruka Ayase chimes in, “That’s a great line.” Through this story built around the theme of “good things,” the commercial conveys the appeal of Merino wool.
Dream Space TravelSazan Ōrusutāzu29rank/position
In addition to the familiar Haruka Ayase, members of Southern All Stars also appeared in UNIQLO’s commercials “Jeans Hotel WOMEN” and “Jeans Hotel MEN,” which featured the song “Dream Space Travel.” Released in 2025, the track is an up-tempo, catchy tune characteristic of Southern All Stars.
Shohei Ohtani’s name appears at the end of the lyrics.
It’s unclear whether that’s the reason, but besides the UNIQLO commercials, the song was also used in a nishikawa [AiR] commercial featuring Shohei Ohtani.
Love Boogie-Woogie NightSazan Ōrusutāzu30rank/position
This one, themed around a public bathhouse, is the “Year-End Festival with Uniflo Dance” version.
It weaves in puns while maintaining a stylish vibe without feeling forced.
Kohei Matsushita passionately sings into a showerhead, and Haruka Ayase dances with a bright smile—their performances are particularly striking.
The BGM features Southern All Stars’ 2024 release “Koi no Boogie-Woogie Night,” a disco-tinged track that portrays adult romance.
