Always keep your dreams

In the commercial featuring Yuriko Yoshinaga, “Itsudemo Yume o (Nationwide),” which showcases the wonderful smiles of SoftBank employees working at stores across Japan, the 1962 duet “Itsudemo Yume o” by Yukio Hashi and Sayuri Yoshinaga is used.

The two singers’ voices are both gentle and flowing, drawing you in as you listen.

The song expresses feelings of admiration for that special girl who’s always singing.

If you want to reminisce about the good old Showa era, be sure to give it a listen.

Hiroji Miyamoto - “Unleash It, Our New Era” (from the album ‘Miyamoto, Doppo.’ Limited First Edition 612 Birthday Live at LIQUIDROOM)

Some of you may have thought, “Miyamoto doing hip-hop!?” The final result feels like his burning passion is carried on his voice, piercing deeply into the heart.

Give it a listen when you’re feeling down.

Eri Hiramatsu – “The Room, the White Shirt, and Me ~Since Then~” Music Video

The sequel to Eri Hiramatsu’s 1992 smash hit “Room, Dress Shirts and Me,” titled “Room, Dress Shirts and Me ~Since Then~,” was featured in the smartphone debut plan commercial “Dad Starts Using a Smartphone.” The song’s protagonist is now married, depicting the everyday life of a couple and her frustrations.

The rhythm and melody are the same as in “Room, Dress Shirts and Me,” so those who remember that era can listen with a sense of nostalgia.

Please give it a listen.

Of course, it’s also recommended for women who have just gotten married.

Power Hall was composed by Susumu Hirasawa, a pioneer of techno music, and was included on New Japan Pro-Wrestling’s first album, New Japan Pro-Wrestling: Super Fighters’ Themes, released in 1980.

It has been used in the commercial “Everyone Family Discount,” in the Shirato Family series, episode ‘Father’s Occupation.’ Throughout most of the track, the main motif is repeated, and the synthesizer timbres seem to evoke an unknown strength.

It’s a piece of techno music that has long been loved by pro-wrestling fans.

A Good Day to Set Out on a Journey Shinji Tanimura

It’s the song used in the commercial where the Shiratoke family’s father goes on a journey.

It’s written and composed by Shinji Tanimura and is one of his signature songs alongside “Subaru.” It was originally written for Momoe Yamaguchi, and her version is wonderful no matter how many times you listen.

Tanimura’s own version is also cool and highly recommended.

Otis Redding – I’ve Been Loving You Too Long

The song used in the Galaxy Z Fold2 5G commercial is a world-famous classic: “I’ve Been Loving You Too Long,” performed by the legendary American singer Otis Redding, who continues to be loved even long after his passing.

It was included on the 1965 album Otis Blue.

Known in Japanese as “Aishi-sugite” (Loving Too Much), the song’s lyrics express a plea to a lover whose feelings are beginning to fade: a wish to “stay by my side forever.”

He Was a Dandy (From “Dimples”)Shirley Temple

Shirley Temple He Was A Dandy, She Was A Belle From Dimples 1936

“He Was A Dandy, She Was A Belle From Dimples” is used in a fun commercial where the Shiroto family becomes pinball targets, and the service is introduced through the voices that play when the ball hits them.

The singer is Shirley Temple, who would later become a Hollywood actress.

From the very beginning, a cheerful harmonica melody plays, and Shirley’s delightfully buoyant singing makes it the kind of song that makes you want to go hiking or for a stroll!
