Bittersweet SambaHerb Alpert
The “Sequel: A Perfect Afternoon” version features Yutaka Takenouchi relaxing in the living room, saying, “I’m not doing anything else today,” and enjoying a beer.
Meanwhile, in the “Sequel: A Happy Afternoon” version starring Hana Kuroki, she enjoys a beer along with chilled summer vegetables.
It seems both of them are enjoying beer just the way they like, and many beer lovers who saw them probably felt a twinge of envy.
The background music is Bittersweet Samba, a familiar tune from Kinmugi commercials and known as the theme song of All Night Nippon.
Original songNEW!Hisaishi Joe
This commercial expresses the dedication to barley embodied in The Premium Malt’s Master’s Dream through a unique worldview.
The individuality of the barley is a major theme, conveying a striving spirit that discerns each grain’s character to achieve the ultimate flavor.
The grand visuals charging toward that ideal are further accentuated by a piece specially composed for this by Joe Hisaishi.
Its structure, which gradually builds in strength, is striking, and the sweeping development that follows conveys an expansive sense of scenery.
Odoru Pompoko RinNEW!B.B. Kuīnzu
This commercial features Jo Odagiri coolly introducing the Premium Glass Campaign, which lets you enjoy The Premium Malt’s even more.
It thoroughly showcases the variety of glasses and explains how each shape influences the flavor.
Enhancing the cool atmosphere depicted in the visuals is a rearranged version of B.B.
Queens’ “Odoru Pompokolin.” The jazz-inspired, relaxed vibe is striking, expressing a sense of calm while retaining the fun of the original song.
That’s important.NEW!Daiji MAN Burazāzu Bando
This commercial brightly conveys, through Susumu Terajima, that the crisp taste of Non-Al Sakaba pairs perfectly with meals.
Terajima appears as a restaurant staff member, serving various dishes while singing, drawing customers in to express how delicious everything is.
Supporting the excitement of these scenes is a parody of Daiji MAN Brothers Band’s “Sore ga Daiji,” sung together by Terajima and the customers.
Preserving the fun vibe of the original song, it powerfully showcases Non-Al Sakaba’s appeal as a great match for food.
Mount FujiNEW!Denki GROOVE
Set in a prison, this commercial—dubbed “Guilty Soda”—is an ad for nope.
Veteran inmate Antony asks Oji Suzuka, who’s just been locked up, “What’d you do to end up here?” Suzuka replies, “I’m guilty of eating ice cream in the middle of the night.” In fact, this prison houses people who’ve given in to everyday temptations.
Then Toma Ikuta appears, ravenously chowing down on fast food and chips.
The concept of nope—“It’s okay to do something sinful when you lose to your appetite!”—is expressed perfectly.
An Angel Covered in ScarsNEW!Inoue Takayuki Bando
This commercial conveys the appeal of Suntory’s “Banmeshi Soda” through Hidetoshi Nishijima talking about his favorite dinner dishes and interacting with food samples.
In a relaxed atmosphere, it shows how Banmeshi Soda enhances the carefully crafted qualities of dishes like hamburg steak, tonkatsu, and mapo eggplant.
Within this distinctive mood that heightens anticipation for the new product, an arrangement of “Kizudarake no Tenshi” is used.
The structure features the melody played by bright brass instruments, evoking a sense of cheerfulness and a forward-looking attitude.
UNDEADYOASOBI
In this commercial, young game creators appear, and it depicts them making a game through repeated trial and error.
Watching them immerse themselves in what they love kind of makes you feel envious, doesn’t it? The BGM that colors this youth drama is YOASOBI’s “UNDEAD,” a song about the importance of continuing to change without giving up on becoming happy.
Jungle Emperor Opening ThemeTomita Isao
This ad, which promotes the appeal of freshness as if the flavor of the fruit were sealed in as-is, is a commercial for -196.
In the “Bravo! This is what chuhai should be” version, Nishikido looks at a can with a muscat design and says, “It could just stay on the tree like this,” and the “Lemon Cans Growing in the Orchard” and “Shine Muscat Cans Growing in the Orchard” versions humorously depict -196 cans actually growing on trees.
While the commercial features the unusual concept of chuhai growing on trees, the farmer’s narrative tone conveys the care with which the fruits used as ingredients are cultivated.
You like whisky, don’t you?Noda Yojiro
The new series of commercials has drawn attention for casting Yu Aoi as the fourth-generation shop owner.
In addition to Aoi, the cast includes Shota Sometani, Satomi Kobayashi, and Yojiro Noda.
The spots are packed with highlights—from casual conversations that hint at tips for living richly, to lush, mouthwatering shots of whiskey.
And an essential element when discussing these commercials is Noda’s cover of “Do You Like Whisky?” He also appears in the footage playing guitar and singing, and his gentle, soft vocals perfectly match the mellow tone of the song.
Mister SandmanThe Chordettes
At the restaurant of Jetwing Lighthouse, a luxury hotel in Sri Lanka, Shizuka Ishibashi waits for Ryuhei Matsuda to arrive.
The refined setting—the atmosphere of the hotel and the view of the sea through the restaurant’s windows—is truly striking.
When Matsuda arrives, the two share a conversation over glasses of Midori.
It’s an elegant and captivating sequence that exudes a distinctly mature sophistication, brilliantly conveying the premium image associated with whisky.
The background music features The Chordettes’ signature 1954 release, “Mr.
Sandman,” whose beautiful harmonies are enchanting enough to make you swoon.
