SoftBank commercial songs: from classic hits to trending tracks, all introduced at once! (1–10)
Dance of the Reed Flutes (from The Nutcracker)Pyotr Tchaikovsky
This is a commercial that introduces the contents of Peitoku through conversations within the Shirato family.
However, in this particular ad, instead of the cast speaking directly, they hold speech bubbles with lines written on them, and the dialogue is added later as voice-over—a distinctive stylistic choice.
The conversations are humorous and entertaining, and among them, the “That Syntax” segment focuses on the so-called “middle-aged man texting style,” delivering laugh-out-loud moments.
The background music features The Shepherds’ Dance from The Nutcracker, a familiar tune in the Shirato Family series of commercials.
Many people probably recognize the melody but don’t know its title, don’t you think?
Seikai-chan and Kafu-chan’s Errand CapriccioMinami no Minami
This is a SoftBank commercial introducing a “god-tier fast-charging” smartphone that charges faster than ever.
The ad features Maika Sasaki from the idol group =LOVE and Hitomi Suzuki from ≠ME.
Just before heading out, Suzuki realizes her phone has no battery, but the spot highlights the charging speed by showing it fully charge while she dances.
The background music is the Vocaloid track “Seikai-chan and Kafu-chan’s Errand Rhapsody,” produced by Minami no Minami, which pairs perfectly with the visuals and concept.
The song has a brisk, bustling tempo and an adorably charming vibe.
Soul Bossa NovaQuincy Jones
This is a commercial introducing Paytoku, a pricing plan that lets you rack up lots of points.
It explains that simply subscribing to Paytoku boosts your PayPay point rebate rate, helping you accumulate points surprisingly fast.
The lively rhythm of Quincy Jones’s “Soul Bossa Nova,” a familiar tune in SoftBank commercials, also leaves a strong impression.
Love so sweetNEW!arashi
This commercial portrays SoftBank’s commitment to supporting human connections and trust in its network, as seen through a massive virtual chorus made possible by 5G.
As the members of Arashi conduct, countless voices join together, powerfully conveying the potential of technology and hope for the future.
The song performed within this chorus, delivering a bright message, is Arashi’s “Love so sweet.” It’s a track that sings of love with an upbeat sound and a lively rhythm, expressing a positive outlook throughout.
Shine OutNEW!imase
This commercial conveys SoftBank’s stance that once you get moving, the view changes, portrayed through students who keep challenging themselves in the dance club.
It’s a story that captures youthful days gradually drawing closer to their dreams, and it also conveys the desire to support them through their daily challenges.
The song that further highlights the fresh yet powerful atmosphere depicted in the visuals is “Shine Out” by imase.
With its strikingly danceable beat and a structure that builds momentum toward the chorus, it evokes a positive, forward-looking attitude.
FolktaleMrs. GREEN APPLE
The song featured in SoftBank’s iPhone commercial where Suzu Hirose climbs a ladder reaching toward the moon is Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s “Folktale.” Included as a B-side to the single “Boku no Koto,” this track was reportedly created with the goal of being fun for everyone to sing together.
True to that purpose, it offers a gentle melody that seems perfect for group singing at live shows.
The title “Folktale” means a traditional folk story, and as the name suggests, the song portrays the idea that people have always lived, learned, and walked forward together like this.
Listening to it somehow puts you in a kind, warm mood!
Tears of Februarykuriipuhaipe
SoftBank’s commercial features Suzu Hirose wandering around in tears, searching for a Wi‑Fi hotspot so she can watch a video after failing to give her Valentine’s chocolates.
The song playing in the background, whose lyrics mirror Hirose’s actions in the ad, is CreepHyp’s “Nigatsu no Namida” (February’s Tears).
The music video, written specifically for this commercial, even includes appearances by Suzu Hirose and, remarkably, the Shirato family’s father.
The song’s ironic twist—linking a restricted smartphone to a world full of restrictions and to the tendency to impose limits on ourselves—feels quintessentially CreepHyp.
