You’re BeautifulJames Blunt
“You’re Beautiful” also pairs well with the “beauty” of shampoo.
It’s the signature classic of British singer-songwriter James Blunt and was used as the Shiseido TSUBAKI commercial song from 2011 to 2012.
The track was included on his 2004 debut album Back to Bedlam and released as a single the following year.
Its globally popular, highly permeating melody and wistful worldview gradually soak in.
Perhaps it even reflects the invisible inner self.
That kind of inward-facing beauty overlaps here as well.
Hard Knock DaysGENERATIONS from EXILE TRIBE
A powerful, beat-driven rock number released as a single in 2015, which also served as the opening theme for the anime One Piece.
The lyrics speak about standing up and facing forward even after being knocked down.
It was also used as the CM song for Moist Diane “Extra Shine,” and the chorus overflows with the fresh, signature vibe of GENERATIONS.
Since the members appeared in the commercial, some people might be reminded of the imagery from back then.
It’s a positive, energizing track packed with just the right mix of sexy, refreshing, and powerful elements!
COSMIC LOVEAikawa Nanase
Nanase Aikawa is a cool rock singer with a charismatic voice.
Her 1999 single “COSMIC LOVE” was used in a Kao LEBENUS commercial.
This work, said to be inspired by the cosmos, was produced by Tetsurō Oda, with Aikawa herself contributing to the lyrics.
One hallmark of Aikawa’s music is the sense of thrill it conveys, and this song also exudes a mature mood that portrays seduction.
The racing guitar riff is exhilarating, making you feel as if you’re flying freely.
EternallyMay J.
The wedding song “Eternally,” crafted by May J., renowned for her outstanding vocal prowess.
It’s a tie-in piece with the Rêveur MOIST & GLOSS × music special collaboration set, included on her 2012 album Brave.
As its title suggests, “Eternally” conveys the idea of “forever,” with lyrics that romantically portray the powerful love between two people—listening to it is truly enchanting.
It’s a sweeping love song perfect for couples about to marry, as well as for husbands and wives to enjoy together.
Hello GoodbyeYU-KI
This song, used in the commercial for Kao’s Essential Damage Care, is Hello Goodbye sung by YUKI.
It was released in November 2004 as her eighth single.
As the title suggests, it’s a mid-tempo number depicting meetings and farewells.
It’s a song that strongly makes you want to cherish the encounters you’ve had and the ones to come.
The chorus, in particular, expresses feelings that anyone can relate to and is sure to resonate.
It’s the kind of song you’ll want to listen to when you’re going through something tough.
Stay GoldUtada Hikaru
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.
