[Summer Tunes] A roundup of CM songs featured in summer commercials (111–120)
Clap and ClapDa-iCE
Let me introduce an upbeat, summery track performed by the dance and vocal group Da-iCE.
“Clap and Clap” is a cheer song for those who want to stay active under the dazzling sun.
If you listen to it while you’re on the move or right before meeting friends, you’ll feel energized no matter how hot the summer gets.
That’s how powerful the music and lyrics are! The song is featured in KOSÉ Cosmeport’s SUNCUT(R) Light Up UV Essence “Timeline” commercial.
SummertimeRIRI, KEIJU, Kobukuro Nariaki
This is a 2019 commercial for Shiseido’s ANESSA sunscreen.
Tennis player Naomi Osaka appears in it.
The CM song is a lavish collaboration by RIRI, KEIJU, and Nariaki Obukuro.
Obukuro accepted the offer for the commercial and invited the other two to join, making the collaboration a reality.
The ad conveys the harsh, intense sunlight of summer.
Sweet RainWOLF HOWL HARMONY
Featuring striking footage of people enjoying a jumbo seawater pool, this is the 2023 commercial for Nagashima Resort.
Watching it, many of you probably thought, “I want to go!” The CM’s background music features “Sweet Rain” by WOLF HOWL HARMONY, a vocal and rap group from LDH.
Set to an upbeat track, the lyrics stand out for their straightforward expression of romantic feelings toward a woman the singer cares about.
Sokenbicha No Rapchelmico
That familiar song, now with a hip-hop twist! The TV commercial song for Sokenbicha was created by the female rap duo chelmico.
Released as a single in 2019 under the title “Sokenbicha Rap.” The drink already has a strong image of being crisp and refreshing, but the vibe of the track seems to amplify that even more.
It also perfectly matches the bright impression of the commercial, which featured actress Nana Eikura, among others.
Just listening to it makes me imagine myself chugging an ice-cold tea on a hot summer day!
The love song won’t stopikimonogakari
Released as Ikimonogakari’s 27th single, it was featured as the commercial song for Calpis “Calpis Water.” The song portrays the frustration of being unable to convey your feelings to someone you love.
It has a sweet-and-sour, youthful vibe.
To usKaneko Ayano
In Kanebo ALLIE’s 2022 “Toward Sustainability” commercial, the artist and song needed a natural, down-to-earth feel to highlight the product’s environmentally conscious packaging materials.
That’s why Ayano Kaneko was chosen.
Her song “To Us” perfectly suits a commercial that focuses even on the materials used for the packaging, thanks to Kaneko’s clear, expansive vocals.
It’s a song that faces us and sings to us about that frustrating, universal feeling of wanting to change but being unable to.
Melancholy, resplendentkuriipuhaipe
Released as CreepHyp’s third single, it was used as the 2013 commercial song for Shiseido’s ANESSA.
The music video features Sosuke Ikematsu and Mei Kurokawa.
Reportedly, Shiseido requested the inclusion of the phrase “You Sun Sun” and specified the number of times the word “yuu” (melancholy) appears in the lyrics.
