It was featured as a theme song for news programs and in music commercials.

The synthesizers are beautiful, and the lyrics, written from a female perspective, portray a strong woman.

It conveys a strong impression of “I can’t lose,” making it a song that gives you a push when you feel like you’re about to be defeated and frustrated, or when you’re standing still.

Hikaru Utada – Kiss & Cry

As part of the FREEDOM-PROJECT, this is one of the commercials that aired between 2006 and 2008.

The animation, created with Katsuhiro Otomo—known as the author of Akira—was used, and many viewers likely paid close attention to its animation style and story.

Even now, watching it is exciting—it’s a captivating commercial.

The BGM features Hikaru Utada’s 2007 release “Kiss & Cry,” a love song with strikingly unique lyrics that even include the words “Nissin Cup Noodles!”

Hikaru Utada 'Mine or Yours' Music Video

Hikaru Utada’s “Mine or Yours,” released in 2025, is a track that conveys relaxation with a gentle groove.

Its slow tempo is layered with vocals that ride slightly behind the beat—almost to the point of feeling off-kilter—further emphasizing the laid-back feel.

The lyrics depict casual, everyday moments to express relaxation, evoking the simple joys found in an easygoing daily life.

The song was featured in a commercial for Ayataka green tea, portraying relaxed everyday scenes and showing how Ayataka supports that sense of calm.

Stay GoldUtada Hikaru14rank/position

Hikaru Utada – Stay Gold

Hikaru Utada’s 20th single, released in 2008.

It was written specifically for a Kao “ASIENCE” commercial, and the repeating piano motif feels heartbreakingly poignant.

The arrangement is a must-hear.

Utada herself has described it as a particularly feminine song, and I think its mystical, oriental atmosphere suits the ASIENCE image perfectly.

At the same time, there’s an innocent, almost “boyish” quality somewhere in it that really draws you in.

It’s a quintessential Utada track, with a depth that slowly seeps through.
