Kao SUCCESS “New Volume-Up Type” Edition

It’s fine.Tabata Eiji

This is the commercial song for Kao SUCCESS “New Volume-Up Type,” which claims your hair will lift from the roots just by washing! Some of you may have recognized it right away—it’s an arrangement of Ulfuls’ classic hit “Eenennen.” The lyrics cleverly weave in how the hair’s volume stays put, making it the kind of tune you can’t help but hum along to.

StaRtMrs. GREEN APPLE

A song by Mrs.

GREEN APPLE, led by Motoki Ohmori whose distinctive feature is his high-tone voice, has been selected for a Merit shampoo commercial.

The fresh five-piece band enhances the clean, refreshing feel of the shampoo ad.

“StaRt” is a track released in the early days of their major-label debut, and its bright vibe makes it easy to connect with.

The catchy chorus melody that serves as the main theme effectively uses the do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do scale.

It’s surprising to find such a simple scale hidden in a song that seems complex.

GREEN APPLE’s diverse catalog.

Shiseido AQUAIR Moisture Hair Pack Shampoo

For some reason, I just really feel like…globe

“Tonikaku Mushō ni…” which played as the CM song for Shiseido’s AQUAIR Moist Hair Pack Shampoo, is a track released in 2000 by globe, the unit led by Tetsuya Komuro that enjoyed immense popularity in the late ’90s.

Incidentally, it was their first title written in Japanese characters.

While globe is often associated with ballads, this song is bona fide club-style dance music, offering a distinct shift from their previous direction.

Its just-let-the-rhythm-take-you vibe seems perfect for driving or running.

The eighth single by Morning Musume, a female vocal and dance group created by sound producer Tsunku♂.

Released as the follow-up to the social phenomenon “LOVE Machine,” it became a major hit, aided by its use in a Kanebo ‘SALA’ commercial.

Unlike the 1960s disco and psychedelic rock flavor of “LOVE Machine,” this track’s oriental sound—unusual in the J-pop scene at the time—won widespread popularity.

Its easy-to-copy dance and catchy melody likely contributed to its success as well.

Even today, it remains a karaoke staple and one of Morning Musume’s signature songs.

Ichikami

I love you, I love you, I love you.Kōda Kumi

Kumi Koda / “I Love You, I Love You, I Love You.” (from the new album “WINTER of LOVE”)
I love you, I love you, I love you.Kōda Kumi

This song is “Suki de, Suki de, Suki de,” sung by Kumi Koda, which was used in a Kracie Ichikami commercial.

While Kumi Koda is often associated with a sexy and cool image, her ballads are truly excellent! Among them, “Suki de, Suki de, Suki de” clearly conveys an overflowing, uncontrollable feeling of love—even just from the title.

The lyrics delicately yet straightforwardly depict the aching heart of unrequited love, making it easy to project your own feelings onto them.

If the CM caught your attention, take this opportunity to listen to the full version!

Aya Matsuura, affectionately known as Ayaya.

For some of us, when we think “idol,” it’s still Ayaya! Her fifth single and signature song, “♡Momoiro Kataomoi♡” (Peach-Colored Crush), was featured in Shiseido’s Tiss/“Mune-kyun Peach” shampoo commercial.

That adorable shampoo bottle brings back so many memories! The super-cute lyrics about the flutter of unrequited love match the image perfectly.

Even listening to it now gets me hyped!

The TSUBAKI commercial where Masaharu Fukuyama washes the hair of Kyoka Suzuki and Anne, making them even more captivating women.

The song used in the CM is Fukuyama’s “Let Me Live So That Flowers Bloom Again and Again.” After its digital release, it was included as a B-side on the single “I am a HERO.” According to Fukuyama, he put into this song the idea that turning the changes that happen to oneself—even a little—into positive ones is a sincere way of living.

True to that sentiment, even if life now is completely different from what you imagined when you were young, the lyrics overflow with the resolve to cherish who you are now and live true to yourself.
