SoftBank’s commercial songs: a roundup from timeless classics to trending hits (21–30)
From Romeo and Juliet: “From the Montague family and the Capulet family”Howaito Ōkesutora
This is the song used in the “Daughter” episode of the SoftBank Mobile commercial series featuring the Father Dog and his family.
The original is a classical piece composed by the Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev in the 1930s.
“The Montagues and the Capulets” is the first movement of the Suite No.
2 from Romeo and Juliet.
Its solemn sound is striking, and Suite No.
2 is the most frequently performed and beloved in concert settings.
Dance of the Reed Flutes (from The Nutcracker)Pyotr Tchaikovsky
This commercial comically portrays the Shirato family’s reactions to how astonishingly powerful the new iPhone is.
When they hear about the iPhone, they’re so shocked that they literally get blown backward, and that reaction spreads to the rest of the family.
The way it shows them flying farther and farther really conveys just how huge the surprise is.
Enhancing that playful mood even more is the segment “Dance of the Reed Flutes” from The Nutcracker.
Its light, bouncy arrangement evokes a sense of fun through its bright tones.
SoftBank commercial songs: A roundup from timeless classics to buzzworthy hits! (31–40)
In the Morning of DeterminationAqua Timez
The video focuses on a woman who has been involved with basketball since she was little, portraying the effort she has steadily built up.
As she keeps working hard, the number of shots she takes increases, expressing the idea that her efforts will eventually lead to results.
The song that further emphasizes the powerful scenes of perseverance depicted in the video is Aqua Timez’s “Ketsui no Asa ni.” Its band sound, carried by a gentle rhythm, is striking and conveys both strength and tenderness.
NAI・NAI 16Shibugakitai
An announcement has been made for the “Smartphone Debut Festival,” which supports students making their first smartphone debut.
In keeping with the festival’s name in Japanese, the commercial cleverly emphasizes the syllable “sai,” making for a humorous and memorable touch.
It’s hard to look away from the wild, high-impact scenes—like Takashi Sorimachi riding a rhinoceros and bursting through a house wall.
The background music is a parody of Shibugakitai’s signature song “NAI NAI 16.”
What A Wonderful WorldLouis Armstrong
The song used in SoftBank’s Momotaro commercial.
It’s a track by Louis Armstrong, the American jazz musician known by the nickname “Satchmo,” and it has been used in commercials not only by SoftBank but also by Honda and Asahi, among others.
It has also been covered by numerous musicians, and commercials featuring those cover versions can be seen as well.
I’m In the Mood for DancingThe Nolans
It was used in a commercial featuring Cameron Diaz.
It’s a hit song by the Irish sister group The Nolans.
The original title is “I’m in the Mood for Dancing.” It once reached number one on Japan’s Oricon chart, and it’s a familiar tune to many Japanese people, having been featured in numerous commercials.
Aria: ‘Nessun Dorma.’Giacomo Puccini
This is SoftBank Air’s “No Installation Needed” commercial featuring Aya Ueto, Koji Matoba, and the comedy duo Uji Koji.
In the Wi-Fi ad, Ueto emphasizes that no installation is required, and each time she says it, the various “Koji” characters get dropped or blown away and disappear.
It’s a very comedic and amusing ad, but the commercial song is the opera aria “Nessun Dorma,” which creates a solemn atmosphere, and that contrast makes it even funnier.
