[CM] MACHERIE Shiina Ringo 15 seconds

Like the song title, this is a new commercial for the haircare brand Ma Chérie’s relaunch.

“Ma chérie” means “my beloved” in French.

It’s an original song written, composed, and arranged by Ringo Sheena herself.

The image character is model and actress Nana Komatsu.

Non shows a superb pitching form in a UNIQLO commercial! Ringo Sheena writes an original song for the ad, “Certain Pride.”

The UNIQLO “Curved Pants 2019 Fall/Winter” commercial featuring Non.

The exhilarating CM song is Ringo Sheena’s “Tashika na Hokori” (“Certain Pride”).

Sheena wrote this piece specifically for the commercial.

With French lyrics and a solemn atmosphere, it’s the kind of track that wouldn’t feel out of place at a formal ceremony—truly an intriguing song.

It makes you want to listen to the whole thing properly, doesn’t it? It builds to a great crescendo and perfectly embodies the idea of “captivating.”

stunned and stupefiedShiina Ringo

closed truth

It’s a commercial where Ringo Sheena, with a bottle of Suntory Ao in hand, sings and showcases a distinctly mature allure.

The footage shows her performing “Bōzen mo Jishitsu” on a dimly lit stage, and the combination of jazz and whisky adds a palpable sensuality.

The theme of accepting life as it is is another highlight, and the phrasing conveys not only a sense of adult composure but also an invitation to freely enjoy Ao.

On Happiness (Pleasures Edition)Shiina Ringo

Sheena Ringo – The Theory of Happiness

“Koufukuron (Etsuraku-hen),” the fourth track on Ringo Sheena’s first album Muzai Moratorium, released on February 24, 1999, is a rock love song that rushes in and leaves with a powerful impact: guitar sounds that whip up like a tornado, punchy vocals, and lyrics that depict the question, What is true happiness?

Delicious Season Shiina Ringo cover by Ringo Jihen

This is “Oishii Kisetsu,” composed by Sheena Ringo, which was used in the Meiji The Chocolate series Zero-Gravity Space edition “Steal the Lips of the World.” In the commercial, Meiji’s chocolate floats through the air, and the slow tempo of the song perfectly matches that atmosphere.

Excessive WealthShiina Ringo

Ringo Sheena – Excessive Wealth

A track included on the 5th album “Hi Izuru” released on November 5, 2014.

It served as the theme song for the drama “Smile.” Since it had previously been released as the 10th single on May 27, 2009, it was added to an album five years later, and it had also been self-covered by her band, Tokyo Jihen.

For this recording, Tomotaka Imamichi of BARBEE BOYS took part on guitar and contributed additional composition to her song.

The section he worked on is the final, expansive chorus, marking the first time someone other than herself has added to the composition of one of her own songs.

With that in mind, please savor the moving climactic chorus.

The Theory of HappinessShiina Ringo

Sheena Ringo – The Theory of Happiness

The title track of the debut single “Koufukuron” (Theory of Happiness), released on May 27, 1998.

This song continues the story of the man she was dating when she lived in Fukuoka, reflecting in its lyrics her feelings as she agonized over the future of their relationship.

It is positioned as a sequel to the B-side track “Suberidai” (“Slide”).

(Additionally, the song “Toki ga Bousou Suru” (“Time Runs Wild”) recounts events that occurred prior to “Suberidai.”) The first album, “Muzai Moratorium,” released on February 24, 1999, includes an album version titled “Koufukuron (Etsuraku-hen)” (“Theory of Happiness: Pleasure Edition”), which reimagines the track with a faster tempo and a strong rock flavor compared to the original.
