Like the flow of a riverKiyosaku
Titled “Nama-Hige” (Foam Mustache), this Suntory Draft Beer commercial is striking for the way the cast savor their beer and is also charming for its humorous direction.
“Nama-hige” refers to the foam that sticks around your mouth when you drink draft beer, and the performers are all sporting splendid foam mustaches! The BGM is ‘Like the Flow of the River.’ The original is by Hibari Misora, but this CM uses the familiar version sung by Kiyosaku.
Bittersweet Samba
This features Hana Kuroki, who gets a flat tire and struggles on her way home, and Yuya Yagira, who rides a bus home feeling tired after work.
When both arrive, they find Kinmugi waiting for them, and the scenes show them savoring Autumn Kinmugi while enjoying the flavors of the season.
The commercial uses “Bittersweet Samba” by trumpeter Herb Alpert.
The bright tones of the trumpet and drums double the sense of excitement for autumn’s delicious tastes.

In this commercial, “For Every Day,” Yuya Yagira and Hana Kuroki are shown drinking Kinmugi at their respective homes.
Each day brings various happenings, but it ends with the blissful moment of coming home and savoring Kinmugi.
I’m sure many people will be moved by the catchphrase, “Come home, and there’s Kinmugi.”

The series of Suntory Kinmugi commercials is striking for its scenes of people enjoying beer set to “Bittersweet Samba” by the familiar trumpet player Herb Alpert, a tune well-known from various commercials and TV shows.
Actor Yuya Yagira represents the blue Kinmugi, actress Hana Kuroki the red Kinmugi, and Mayu Matsuoka serves as the image character for the Kinmugi with 75% less sugar.
Oriental WindHisaishi Joe
Joe Hisaishi is a world-renowned composer.
His piece “Oriental Wind” is well known as the theme song for Suntory’s Iyemon commercials.
Among them, the “Two Tea Masters” version stands out as a quiet work that really brings the music to the fore.
In it, Masahiro Motoki and Mei Nagano face each other in a tea room, with a cup of tea placed between them.
The garden in the background perfectly matches the image of the music.
By the way, it’s said that each commercial features a different arrangement of “Oriental Wind.” Since it hasn’t been released on CD, let’s check out the commercial footage.

In the commercial “Coming Home Today,” Yutaka Takenouchi plays a manga editor and Hana Kuroki works as a florist, with scenes showing them drinking Kin-Mugi at home after work.
No matter how tough the job is, aren’t there many people who keep going by thinking, “Once I get home, I have something to look forward to!”? The BGM is the familiar “Bittersweet Samba” from Kin-Mugi’s commercials.
It’s well known as the theme song of the radio program All Night Nippon, and originally a piece by American trumpeter Herb Alpert.
Same Ol’The Heavy
Many of you probably remember the commercial series aired from 2014 to 2017 in which Shun Oguri played Momotaro, as it became a major talking point at the time.
With visuals and direction that looked straight out of a Hollywood film, it was so stylish that you might not even have realized it was a Pepsi ad.
The BGM used in the commercial is Same Ol’ by the British rock band The Heavy.
Its powerful, heavy guitar riff leaves a strong impression—just hearing the intro can knock you out.
The “Ol’” in the title is an abbreviation of “Old,” so “Same Old” conveys the idea of repeating the same things.
The lyrics wryly depict unchanging, monotonous days, making it a track that can give you a push when you’re dissatisfied with the status quo or want to take on a challenge.
