Kotodama of Love ~Spiritual Message~

While it has a stylish rhythm, it also incorporates folk-style instruments, making it a track packed with diverse elements.

The lyrics, reminiscent of folk songs, match the song’s atmosphere, and the rhymes sprinkled throughout create a hip-hop-like sense of fun.

Southern All Stars – Love Slowly, Little by Little [Official Music Video]

A commercial for UNIQLO’s autumn/winter staple, Merino Wool.

Set in a calm, cozy café, it features Haruka Ayase, Kasumi Ishikawa, and Kohei Matsushita each spending their own time.

They’re all wearing Merino Wool items, and their sophisticated styling is truly appealing.

The background music is Southern All Stars’ “Ai wa Slow ni Chottozutsu,” and its slow-tempo ballad pairs perfectly with the commercial’s visuals, which center on the theme of happiness.

Keisuke Kuwata – Will It Be Sunny Tomorrow? (Short ver.)

Southern All Stars are full of timeless hits.

Among them, the song that moves me the most is “Will It Be Sunny Tomorrow?” Life is finite, and love has no fixed form…

This masterpiece makes me feel as though the air around me gently and warmly wraps that frustrating reality.

Here is the commercial for UNIQLO’s UV-cut hoodie.

As the sunlight starts getting brighter, more people probably don’t want to get sunburned.

At times like that, stylish, highly functional UV-protective clothing is in high demand.

Haruka Ayase plays a newly appointed teacher alongside students, and clothing that suits any generation is a big plus.

The background music, “Utae Nippon no Sora,” is a song released in 2023 that portrays a summer in a seaside town and sings of love for one’s hometown.

Shiroi Koibitotachi (Snow White) / Kuwata Keisuke - Piano Cover -

When it comes to Japanese Christmas songs, Keisuke Kuwata’s “Shiroi Koibito Tachi” is a must.

In the music video, Kuwata plays and sings at the piano, so the piano really stands out, and I imagine many people want to try playing that iconic intro.

It’s in G major, which uses only one black key, making it relatively easy to perform—that’s another selling point.

Start gently and make use of the higher register at the beginning, then in the chorus, incorporate the lower notes to widen the range for a cool effect.

It’s a number you often hear as Christmas approaches, so it’s a classic known across generations.

Give it a try!

When I feel like I want to see you, you’re not here [2024 Remaster]

This is a commercial for AIRism, one of Uniqlo’s items that comes in handy during the hot summer months.

The ad features Haruka Ayase and Kohei Matsushita wearing AIRism in the heat; even as they sweat, their bright expressions underscore AIRism’s moisture-wicking and quick-drying qualities.

The song used is Southern All Stars’ “Aitaku Natta Toki ni Kimi wa Koko ni Inai” (“When I Want to See You, You’re Not Here”), whose refreshing sound and gentle vocals convey the breeziness of summer and the soft, comfortable feel of AIRism.

Bye Bye My Love (U are the one) (2024 Remaster)

A song that portrays deep feelings for a loved one and the pain of parting.

Set to the pop melodies of Southern All Stars, the poignant lyrics resonate with the heart.

Released in May 1985, this track is also included on the album “KAMAKURA” and has continued to be cherished by fans.

The sounds of the accordion and saxophone create a nostalgic atmosphere.

It’s a perfect song for those who have experienced heartbreak or are trying to overcome a farewell with someone dear.
