Walk this wayAerosmith

This is the song that was used in a SoftBank commercial.

It’s one of Aerosmith’s signature mid-period tracks and also gained attention through their collaboration with the hip-hop group Run-DMC.

In Japan, I believe it’s also known as the theme song for the TV show “Odoru Sanma Goten.”

Minami Hamabe performs a light, graceful dance to Mrs. GREEN APPLE’s “Dance Hall” in the new &ST ad: “Dance and ST” edition

This commercial showcases the fun of fashion at &ST through Minami Hamabe’s light, buoyant dancing.

A key point is that people dressed in a variety of outfits join the dance, conveying the breadth of fashion styles.

By incorporating clothing as props into the choreography, the joy of fashion comes through as well.

The song that truly elevates the sense of dance captured in these visuals is “Dance Hall” by Mrs.

GREEN APPLE.

With rhythms and sounds that evoke dancing, the track leaves a strong impression and conveys an irresistible, full-bodied sense of fun that makes you want to move.

Something Good Tomorrow ~Further Challenge~ Version (1) 15 seconds

This commercial portrays KOBELCO’s spirit of taking on challenges in manufacturing, overlapped with Nao’s presence and narration.

The theme centers on automated welding by welding robots, expressing a vision of forging ahead into the future through the synergy of machines and materials.

Further emphasizing this forward-looking imagery is the song “Call me” by Novelbright, whose light tempo and sound create a bright, uplifting atmosphere.

Its vibrant instrumentation and vocals strongly convey positive emotions.

Miyojimoon drop

This is an introduction commercial for Wedding Park, a wedding information site that shares content about weddings, including reviews.

The video shows people’s reactions when a couple announces their marriage, and it’s truly wonderful to see everyone celebrating as if it were their own.

The touching, heartwarming commercial is accompanied by the song “Miyoji” by the rock band moon drop.

It’s a heartfelt wedding song that the band said they had “always wanted to write someday,” with a warm atmosphere themed around the family name of the couple getting married.

Daikanyama Hōmeikan Bridal CM “Your Dream Stage, In This City.” (30 seconds)

The promotional commercial for the wedding venue Homeikan in Daikanyama tells the story of a bride who has dreamed since childhood of getting married at this venue.

By showing both the interior and exterior of the site as well as the cuisine, it helps viewers imagine what a reception there would be like.

The CM’s background music features “beautiful song” by Keiichi Kudo, a singer-songwriter.

Before the wedding, the lyrics express gratitude to the parents, and in the second verse they convey feelings toward the partner.

With strings woven into a grand rock ballad arrangement and a soaring vocal performance, it’s a highly compelling track to listen to.

astronomical observationBUMP OF CHICKEN

It was released in 2001 as BUMP OF CHICKEN’s second major-label single.

Years after its release, it was used in a 2013 docomo commercial.

It remains a popular song for karaoke.

It is BUMP OF CHICKEN’s biggest hit, and Tori Matsuzaka, who appeared in the docomo commercial, has stated that he is a fan of the band.

This is the song used in au’s iPhone commercial.

It’s a 1990 track by AC/DC, the world-famous band led by the Young brothers, Angus and Malcolm, from Australia—a land not exactly known for rock.

Angus Young’s introductory riff is insanely cool.
