GALAXYRIP SLYME
This is a SoftBank commercial introducing the Galaxy Z Fold7.
A giant Galaxy Z Fold7 appears, and there’s a striking scene where Ryota Bando steps inside its screen, along with the familiar “Father Dog” from the commercials playing a game—memorable visuals abound.
It’s a slightly unconventional way of presenting the product, but it likely piqued many viewers’ interest in the new device.
The background music is another highlight: a parody version of RIP SLYME’s “GALAXY,” chosen to match the product name.
For those who listened to the song in real time in the 2000s, the unexpected reunion with a nostalgic tune must have been thrilling.

It’s a work by hip-hop artist Vo Williams, who has also produced theme songs for the NBA, with Robin Loxley—who is also active in the art scene—featured on the track.
The energetic, heavyweight sound is insanely cool! The lyrics, packed with high-impact, aggressive messaging, are another big draw.
With this fiery production, it’s a perfect fit for a basketball-themed commercial!

You’d never guess just by watching the footage, but it really drives home how advanced the iPhone’s camera has become.
The background music features an original song by Vaundy titled “Majide, Sayonara Baby.” Its lyrics, overflowing with feelings for a beloved person who’s no longer here, are sure to move many viewers.

The SoftBank commercial featuring Hitoshi Matsumoto from Downtown prominently uses “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” by American composer Irwin Kostal.
The song comes from the US–UK co-produced fantasy musical film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
It expresses the excitement of riding in a car and wondering what fun adventures lie ahead.
In the commercial, an instrumental version without lyrics is used, but the sense of excitement and fun comes through just as in the original.
