SoftBank commercial songs: introducing everything from classic hits to trending tracks all at once! (71–80)
Something For Your M.I.N.D.Superorganism
This is the second TV commercial depicting Pepper’s journey with a Google Pixel.
At a grand bus stop in the desert, an elderly couple asks, “Have you ever kissed?” Using the Google Pixel, which can also handle video social media, they watch the movie Snow White.
It’s amusing, isn’t it? It’s like a newborn baby.
GopherYma Sumac
In SoftBank’s commercial that boldly showcases the iPhone 12’s power to the fullest, a melody featuring horns and a striking female vocal plays.
The song, titled “Gopher,” is performed by Yma Sumac, a Peruvian singer renowned for mastering a five-and-a-half-octave range.
While you only get a hint of that range in the brief ad, listening to the full track reveals astonishing high notes and extraordinary expressiveness.
You’re sure to be captivated by her passionate voice! Be sure to give it a listen and let yourself be enchanted by Yma Sumac’s singing.
I look up as I walk
The setting is New York.
This is the SoftBank’s popular Shirato Family commercial series, “I Look Up as I Walk.” The song is a cover of Kyu Sakamoto’s signature piece, ‘Ue o Muite Arukou.’ The original was released in 1961.
It became a hit not only in Japan but overseas as well, making it known to people around the world.
Incidentally, its title in the UK is ‘SUKIYAKI.’ Why is that?
Original song
Believe it or not, even the world-famous superstar Justin Bieber appears in a SoftBank commercial! The commercial is the SUPER FRIDAY “JUSTIN: Mannequin Challenge” edition.
The song playing as the background music in the ad is an original track produced specifically for it.
It’s a bright, funky tune that seems to capture in music the friendly, cheerful atmosphere of the Shirato family enjoying their day off at a Justin Bieber event—so catchy it’ll make you want to dance.
windkurisu haato
This is the song featured in the commercial for SoftBank Hikari’s high-speed internet service, the Shirato Family “Trip to Yamaguchi” edition.
The song is performed by Chris Hart, who mainly releases original tracks and covers in the R&B and pop genres.
Chris Hart is especially known for medium-tempo R&B ballads, which are very popular with his fans.
This track perfectly showcases Chris’s appeal.
U.S.A.DA PUMP
This is a commercial from the Google Pixel and SoftBank campaign that aired at the end of 2018.
The members perform a parody of DA PUMP’s 2018 smash hit “U.S.A.” with sharp choreography.
The twist is that a girl in the audience calls out, “That’s the wrong song!”
New Treasure IslandSakanakushon
SoftBank’s 5G commercial is raising expectations that the world of Doraemon might be just around the corner.
The song featured in the ad is Sakanaction’s “Shin Takarajima,” whose music video is memorable for its retro Showa-era vibe.
Titled after a manga by Osamu Tezuka, the track was also used as the theme song for the film Bakuman, starring Takeru Satoh and Ryunosuke Kamiki.
While the MV’s aesthetic reaches back to a period predating Doraemon, the song’s overall feel and structure possess a freshness that wouldn’t be out of place—even as we enter the age of Doraemon.
