A commercial from the Adult Elevator series, where Satoshi Tsumabuki takes on the role of interviewer and talks to a variety of people.

It’s a commercial that will move not only Sambomaster fans but all music lovers.

The BGM is an arranged version of the familiar “Around the world,” a lovely arrangement with a mature vibe.

This commercial, narrated by Hiroki Yamada, introduces people who enjoy their work and highlights the brand concept: “Because we’re having fun, we can change the world.” It conveys the idea that having a sense of enjoyment enables you to commit seriously, and that very attitude becomes the driving force to change the world.

The appearance of YEBISU is also a key point, suggesting the importance of relaxation as well.

Enhancing the relaxed atmosphere of the visuals is “The Third Man,” also known as a movie theme song.

While the sound shifts throughout the footage, the overall tone consistently conveys a warm feeling.

The completion of the new Yebisu Beer is being projected on the screen like a preview screening.

Apparently, Yebisu Beer has been completed many times before.

It’s a bit strange, but that makes it all the more charming, doesn’t it? The BGM is the familiar theme song from The Third Man, “The Third Man,” but in this version it has a kind of free-jazz vibe.

Sapporo Yebisu “Creative Brew #01 New Origin” Version

The Third ManAnton Karas

Sapporo Yebisu “Creative Brew #01 New Origin.” This spot is set at a brewery on a hilltop and has a romantic tone, with a man reflecting on the passion poured into the product.

When you think of Yebisu commercials, that piano-led melody also comes strongly to mind.

That piece was composed by Anton Karas as the theme song for the film The Third Man and is called “The Third Man Theme.” Although it was originally written to evoke a noir film, it fits the commercial perfectly.

Sapporo Classic Hokkaido and 40 Years Version 60 Seconds

Sapporo Classic was born in Hokkaido 40 years ago, and this commercial conveys its history of being loved by the local community and the gratitude that comes with it.

It portrays the connection between the people living in Hokkaido and Sapporo Classic, allowing you to feel the warmth of people amid the cold.

Further emphasizing the warm atmosphere of the visuals is the song “Koko de, Nomou yo.” sung by the duo Taka and Toshi.

With lyrics that feel as though they sing of the hearts of those who live in Hokkaido, combined with gentle sounds, it expresses a deep affection for one’s homeland.
