SoftBank commercial songs: a roundup from classics to buzzworthy hits! (51–60)
Original songSugimori Jakku
When spring comes and life in a new environment begins, we sometimes tense up thinking, “I’ll do my best as a new me!” That kind of overreaching is often called an ‘XX debut,’ like a high school debut or a college debut.
In this SoftBank commercial, a warm message—‘you don’t have to make that kind of debut’—is conveyed through an original song.
The vocals for this BGM are by Jack Sugimori from the rock band THIS IS JAPAN.
His passionate, powerful voice is truly captivating.
Que Sera, SeraDoris Day
American jazz singer Doris Day.
“Que Sera, Sera” is one of her signature songs, and with its easy-to-understand lyrics and catchy melody, it became a major hit when it was released in 1956.
It was also the theme song for Alfred Hitchcock’s film “The Man Who Knew Too Much,” which was released the same year, in which Doris starred as the leading actress.
The song won the Academy Award for Best Original Song.
It was also featured in SoftBank’s commercial “Meeting Father/Shopping.”
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.
Era (Relay Cover)
This is the “Shirato Family Song Relay: ‘Jidai’” commercial, in which SoftBank’s Shirato family takes turns singing Miyuki Nakajima’s classic song “Jidai” like a relay.
Each performer sings a verse and passes it along to the next.
The scenes were filmed in locations the director was particularly attached to, and the result is a beautifully shot commercial.
Created to commemorate the final year of the Heisei era, it reveals a slightly different side of the usually comical and lighthearted Shirato family.

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.
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.
Choo Choo TRAINEXILE
That comical commercial really makes you laugh, doesn’t it? The song used in the “SoftBank White Family ‘Dance’” spot for SpoNavi Live is the one that sparked a huge craze after its 2003 release.
It’s one of the popular tracks by the dance-vocal group EXILE, and originally a song by ZOO, the group that member HIRO used to belong to.
Many people have probably tried copying that choreography where you line up in a single file and move in a circle.
It’s a very positive dance number that gives you energy just by listening.
