seven colorsNEW!BUMP OF CHICKEN
Yuki Yamada, who suddenly has to be hospitalized, expresses his worries about the costs.
Then Haruka Ayase says, “If you’re enrolled in Pitaho, you’ll be fine,” and explains the coverage.
Hearing this, Mr.
Yamada smiles and says, “I feel relieved!” as the commercial comes to a close.
Just like Mr.
Yamada, didn’t you also feel, after watching this commercial, that “this would put my mind at ease”?
frecklesNEW!JUDY AND MARY
It shows Alice Hirose pouring beer, cooled in a river deep in the forest, into a glass and drinking it with obvious enjoyment.
The narration emphasizes that non-alcoholic beer isn’t merely a substitute for beer, and clearly presents the appeal of Greens Free.
For the BGM, a cover of “Sobakasu,” one of JUDY AND MARY’s signature songs released in 1996, is used.
While the catchy, exhilarating melody feels pleasant, the lyrics depict the bittersweet emotions following a heartbreak.
One Night CarnivalNEW!Kishidan
Featuring Ano-san alongside Hello Kitty and Pompompurin, this is a commercial introducing a collaboration menu with Sanrio.
The two items introduced are a Strawberry Smoothie and a Pudding Frappe, with Ano-san presenting each menu item to the tune of an original parody song.
The original song parodied in this commercial is Kishidan’s “One Night Carnival,” a rock band known for their striking pompadours and school-uniform style.
Released in 2001, it is one of their signature tracks—a classic of the Japanese rock scene, memorable for its soaring, pleasant melody and spoken-word passages.
You, the Sheep, and the BlueNEW!RADWIMPS
RADWIMPS’s “Kimi to Hitsuji to Ao” was released in 2011, a track where powerful sounds ring out over a light, buoyant rhythm.
The contrast between the driving, forcefully marked beat and the gentle interludes creates a mysterious atmosphere.
The rapid-fire vocal delivery also underscores the song’s sense of speed, conveying a determination to move forward.
As a commercial song, it was used in a 2026 Lipovitan D commercial, where Hideki Matsuyama’s presence communicates a spirit of challenge.
life; livelihood; livingNEW!yutori
Yutori’s “Seikatsu” was released in 2026, a song that seems to depict the sadness of parting and the suffering that follows.
Its structure is striking, with a band sound that resonates with strength even within a slow tempo, conveying an intense anguish.
The lyrics focus on looking back on memories after a breakup, expressing feelings of discomfort with no longer being a pair.
The song was also used in a Sony Bank commercial themed around a “memory account,” where, set to a gentle rhythm, it appears to portray family memories and bonds.
I wonder if we can meet againNEW!Sambomasutā
Sambomaster’s “Mata Aeru Kana” was released in 2026 and is a song that seems to depict love for the people of their hometown.
Unusually for Sambomaster, it features a composition that incorporates digital tones, conveying future growth and hope from there.
The lyrics portray warmth through themes of love for one’s hometown and human connections, and the powerful vocals convey the strength of those feelings.
As the theme song for the Fukushima Destination Campaign, it was also used in commercials featuring the people of Fukushima and promoting the region.
higherNEW!LAUSBUB
This is the 2026 promotional commercial for Mode Gakuen, which offers a variety of departments such as fashion, beauty, and design.
The catchphrase “Pursue what you love” leaves a powerful impression.
The BGM features “higher” by the technopop band LAUSBUB—a track whose combination of cute vocals and techno-laden beats is irresistibly catchy.
