We’ve picked out famous in-store background music. Presenting a roundup of buzzworthy and catchy tracks (51–60).
Tokoton Rhythm
Its Olympic Theme Song is “Tokoton Rhythm,” created for the supermarket and discount store chain operating mainly in the Kanto region centered on Tokyo.
The song highlights the brand’s major appeal to users—being “thoroughly cheap”—conveying both value and a light, breezy feel.
The airy rhythm and sound that match the titular “Tokoton” are also key points, evoking a positive atmosphere.
It’s a track that seems to express the wish for customers to first pick up products and feel the savings, and to keep using the stores going forward.
Come to Daiki.
Have you ever been to the Daiki home improvement store? It’s now operated under the name DCM Daiki, right? Some of you may remember the gentle female vocals in the in-store BGM.
That song is “Daiki ni Oide yo” (“Come to Daiki”).
In fact, different versions are played depending on the time of day.
If there’s a store nearby, try checking it out.
However, be aware that since 2022 more stores have stopped playing “Daiki ni Oide yo.”
MUJI BGM
When it comes to stylish, calming in-store background music, MUJI’s BGM is indispensable.
Since 2001, they have been selling CDs featuring the tracks used in their stores, and in 2021 it became a hot topic when those tracks started streaming on various subscription services.
They’ve produced albums that spotlight countries around the world, with each piece performed by musicians from that country.
The music carries a touch of exotic flair while also feeling warm and soothing—perhaps a quality unique to MUJI, a brand known for offering items that fit seamlessly into everyday life.
Gyo! Gyo! Gyo! Gyoza!MADOKA
Not only are there all sorts of frozen products on the market, but gyoza you make yourself is also a household staple.
The song “Gyo! Gyo! Gyo! Gyoza!” takes a close look at what exactly makes gyoza so appealing and talks about it in detail.
Created to promote the sale of Utsunomiya’s famous gyoza, the track expresses a deep love for gyoza with a light touch.
The combination of bleepy, digital sounds layered with a powerful vocal performance also adds to the fun.
Original Song
This is a song played at Beisia, a supermarket headquartered in Maebashi City, Gunma Prefecture, with stores mainly across eastern Japan.
Since supermarkets are essential to daily life, the song conveys Beisia’s desire to support people’s everyday lives.
The gentle atmosphere of the sound is striking, and together with the kind, colorful melody, it delivers a strong sense of warmth.
Including the vocals that highlight that warmth, the song also conveys a wish to be a familiar, close presence.
