Crazy about youEXILE

EXILE / Ki・mi・ni・mu・chu

This song was used in a 2016 commercial for “The Malts” featuring the members of EXILE TRIBE.

The cute, un-EXILE-like title “Ki・mi・ni・mu・chu” and its lyrics became a hot topic.

The commercial also left an impression with their cheerful, fun scenes of drinking.

I Want You BackLake Street Dive

This is a series of commercials where Mana Ashida learns about sustainable water usage from a boombox.

It’s fascinating to think that a Showa-era boombox can teach you all kinds of things.

As a corporate stance, I think it’s good to propose a lifestyle that doesn’t just consume water.

The BGM is a laid-back, unplugged cover of “I Want You Back,” the song made a hit by the Jackson 5, performed by Lake Street Dive.

Sit on My FaceMonty Python

Monty Python – Sit on My Face (Official Lyric Video)

This song was used in a 2014 commercial for “Oishii ZERO” featuring Noritake Kinashi and Oyakata Furiwake.

Monty Python, who perform this song, aren’t singers but a six-member group of British comedians—and they’re super brainy to boot.

That’s exactly why it’s so funny when they do it.

In Japan, they’re kind of like The Drifters, maybe?

In The Mood ×W/X/YTani Yuuki

Tani Yuuki’s 2021 release “W/X/Y,” which became hugely popular especially on TikTok, has been combined with the swing jazz classic “In The Mood,” famously performed by the Glenn Miller Orchestra, to create a special number featured in Suntory The Premium Malt’s commercial “A Good Day, The Premium Malt’s: Cherished Junior Colleague,” starring Yo Oizumi.

Unlike the mellow original version of “W/X/Y,” the melody has been transformed into a bright, pop-inflected arrangement with horn textures, adding a new depth to the lyrics about wanting to stay with someone special forever.
