Kagirinaki Towa no Ai

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 Ōrusutāzu23rank/position

The heart of the blue sky (No me? More no!)

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 Ōrusutāzu24rank/position

BLUE HEAVEN

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 Ōrusutāzu25rank/position

Dear John

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 Boogie

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.

Melody [2024 Remaster]

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 Ōrusutāzu28rank/position

Southern All Stars – Dream Space Travel [Official Music Video]

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.
