Oriental WindHisaishi Joe
Joe Hisaishi’s music, with its unique worldview, adds a touch of elegance to Suntory Iyemon’s commercials.
The melody line is striking—evoking a Japanese aesthetic while feeling refreshingly new.
This piece was used in various versions of the commercials from 2004 to 2012, with a new version released in September 2021.
It’s a track that showcases Hisaishi’s talent, which has brought him great success in the world of film music.
Perfect for when you want to relax or feel the essence of Japanese tradition.
Godzilla’s ThemeIfukube Akira
This is a commercial that only announces the date and time when details will be revealed for the collaboration between Kodawari Sakaba’s Tako-Highball and Godzilla.
With Godzilla’s roar echoing in the background, it simply shows the Tako-Highball shaking, heightening the sense of anticipation about what’s going to happen.
It’s Godzilla’s Theme that truly stokes that mix of excitement and anxiety that something might be coming.
The powerful sound feels like a firm, forceful step forward, and its expansive resonance conveys the emergence of something enormous.
One more time,One more chanceYamazaki Masayoshi
This is a Maker’s Mark commercial featuring Shun Oguri in the role of Dracula.
Oguri speaks to the woman he loves, telling her he wants to spend the next life together as well, but she replies, “You’re immortal—there is no next life for you, is there?” It’s a poignantly bittersweet story.
The ad is striking in that there is no spoken audio; the dialogue appears only as subtitles, while the background music is Masayoshi Yamazaki’s “One more time, One more chance.” The lyrics, which depict a man endlessly searching for someone precious he has lost, make for a touching, heartrending ballad.
If I Only KnewTom Jones
This song was used in a 2014 Jim Beam commercial featuring Rola.
You might not recognize it by this title, but its Japanese title is “Koi wa Mekimeki.” That title was chosen because the chorus line “make you, make you love” sounds like “meki-meki” in Japanese.
BrazilGeoff & Maria Muldaur
Many people probably find themselves itching with that feeling of “I’ve heard this before, but I don’t know what it’s called!” This piece was originally written by Ary Barroso in 1939 under the title “Aquarela do Brasil.” It was later covered by many artists and came to be widely known by its current title, “Brazil.” Over the years, multiple commercials have used various artists’ cover versions: Jeff and Maria Muldaur’s version was featured in a 1996 Suntory Reserve 10 Years commercial, and Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra’s cover was used in a 2024 Kirin Beer commercial.
It’s truly a classic beloved across eras and genres.
Odoru Pompoko RinB.B. Kuīnzu
In this commercial, the grown-up versions of Maruko, Tama-chan, and Hanawa-kun from the anime Chibi Maruko-chan are depicted.
As the title “Puremoruko-chan” suggests, they’ve become premium adults, and the setting is New York.
Maruko is played by Suzu Hirose, Tama-chan by Sairi Ito, and Hanawa-kun by Joe Odagiri, all portrayed as impressively cool adults far beyond what you might imagine from the original.
The background music is an arranged version of the theme song Odoru Pompokolin, giving it a mature, premium feel.
Because it’s based on such a familiar work, the commercial really grabs your attention.
