SoftBank’s commercial songs: from timeless classics to buzzworthy hits, all introduced at once!

SoftBank commercials are popular for their various series, starting with the Shirato Family, featuring the white dog father as the mascot.

The star-studded casts—popular actors, athletes, and comedians—always become a hot topic.

The music used also draws attention: in addition to classic pieces commonly heard in commercials and popular Western songs, tracks by well-known Japanese artists are featured as well.

In this article, we’ll introduce the songs used in SoftBank’s commercials.

If there’s a tune you heard in a CM and want to know the title or who sings it, be sure to check it out!

SoftBank commercial songs: A roundup from timeless classics to buzzworthy hits! (31–40)

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.

SoftBank 'Pikachu’s Reaction' Version

Aya Ueto is talking to Pikachu about something.

I wondered what she was saying, and it turns out she was trying to get Pikachu to recite a SoftBank Hikari promo line! Of course, Pikachu can’t speak human language, so it just goes “Pika~” in confusion… Even so, Ms.

Ueto doesn’t give up, and a flustered Pikachu ends up unleashing an electric attack.

It’s a wonderfully surreal and funny commercial, and Pikachu looks absolutely adorable in it.

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.

The SoftBank commercial introducing the Google Pixel 10 and Pixel Watch 4 features the members of Naniwa Danshi.

While showcasing the functionality of the Pixel 10 and Pixel Watch 4, it shows the group visiting a cottage by a lake.

Playing in the background of this fun commercial is their song “Hirahira × Tokimeki.” Debuting in this CM, the track has a refreshing vibe that’s very characteristic of them.

SoftBank Air: “No Installation Needed” Edition

Aria: ‘Nessun Dorma.’Giacomo Puccini

Puccini, Turandot: Nessun dorma — Del Monaco (1)
Aria: 'Nessun Dorma.'Giacomo Puccini
Commercial: SoftBank Air

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.

SoftBank TV commercial 2006

A commercial where you can’t take your eyes off Brad Pitt dressed all in white.

It’s a 2006 SoftBank mobile phone ad, and there probably aren’t many songs that truly match Brad Pitt’s rugged cool.

Iggy Pop’s classic “The Passenger” is a perfect choice that elevates the spot.
