Calbee Hard-Cut Potato Chips: Let the crunch resound. I’m going to eat Hard-Cut Potato Chips! “Lightly Salted” version / “Roasted Seaweed” versionTaiga Nakano
A striking commercial that focuses on the texture of Kata-age Potato chips.
In the beginning, footage of the chips is paired with Taiga Nakano eating them, accompanied by the crunchy chewing sounds: “Kari!” and “Zaku-zaku!” And the ad wraps up with a single word: “Umee~” (“So good”).
By capturing such a natural reaction, the appeal feels even more relatable.
Lotte Gum “Shu-Chew Beats A” / “Shu-Chew Beats B”
This commercial features a man working at his computer who says he uses gum and background music to flip his concentration switch.
It’s certainly an ad for gum, but it’s produced in a way that puts more emphasis on the background music—branded as Shu-Chew Beats—than on the gum itself.
The track used in the ad is “Hyper” by Shinichi Osawa, who is also active with the project MONDO GROSSO.
Built on a minimal beat and synthesizer tones, and set at a just-right tempo of 120 BPM—neither too fast nor too slow—it’s a song that feels perfect for getting comfortably into a focused state.
Lotte Sou “Full-Power Gasshō Club” VersionSuzu Hirose, SHISHAMO
This is a Sō commercial featuring SHISHAMO, Suzu Hirose, and around 1,000 teenagers performing one of the band’s signature songs, “OH!”.
Titled the “Zenryoku Gassō-bu” (Full-Power Ensemble Club) version, the CM has the youths joining in with brass and ensemble parts alongside SHISHAMO’s performance.
The song “OH!”, played in the ad, was released in 2019 and is a track that showcases the band’s trademark catchiness, brightness, and uplifting lyrics.
Many listeners have likely found encouragement in its message—“Even if it’s rough around the edges, let’s give it our all and push straight ahead!”—which offers a supportive nudge forward.
UHA Mikakuto Tokuno Milk 8.2 Dear our extra-rich selves: “Tokuno Milk” version / “Salt Milk” version / “Peach” versionME:I

Each commercial features one of three varieties: original milk, salted milk, and peach milk.
Members of ME:I highlight the appeal of each flavor, likely sparking interest among many viewers.
The background music is ME:I’s song “Affogato.” As the title suggests—referring to the dessert affogato—it’s a sweet and cute track.
