School Heaven
This is a commercial introducing a value-priced plan that supports kids making their smartphone debut.
Set in a SoftBank shop, one version features Hikakin voicing the inner thoughts of a parent and child, and another shows him as a school teacher explaining the plan’s details in a class.
With its friendly and easy-to-understand structure, this CM may prompt many viewers to consider letting their children start using a smartphone.
GALAXYRIP SLYME
This commercial showcases the big news that Galaxy has arrived from SoftBank through two patterns: “Apple and Truck” and “The Enormous Turnip.” The concept is that a hidden advertisement becomes visible due to some event, but your attention first goes to the trouble unfolding.
The song that plays at the end of the video is RIP SLYME’s “GALAXY,” and the CM even incorporates the word SoftBank.
With its uniquely floating, airy sound, the track evokes images of cutting-edge technology and a near-future world.
Jenka
The song used in the Google Pixel 4a commercial featuring the comedy duo Chidori is the Finnish folk tune Jenkka, known worldwide.
It’s also sometimes called Letkis.
Some of you might have felt nostalgic hearing it.
It’s widely loved in Japan as a folk dance song often performed at school sports days and similar events.
It spread in Japan in the 1960s, and a major turning point was the 1966 hit cover by Kyu Sakamoto.

My Room, My Dress Shirt, and MeYamashita Hiroaki
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.
My boyfriend is left-handed.Asaoka Megumi
Megumi Asaoka’s “My Boyfriend’s Left-Handed” was released in 1973 and is widely known as one of her signature songs.
With its cute lyrics expressing affection for a left-handed boyfriend, it became such a hit that it helped overcome the prejudice against left-handedness at the time.
The light band sound combined with her cheerful vocals clearly conveys a positive image.
Because of its bright atmosphere, it also works well as a commercial jingle and has been used widely, from fun, upbeat spots to more comical ones.
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?

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.
