Season in the SunTUBE
This is the commercial for Suntory’s chu-hi, Kodawari Sakaba Lemon Sour, which has been airing since June 2023.
The scenes of Tomio Umezawa and Kayoko Okubo quenching their thirst so deliciously, along with the song, really make an impact! It’s an arranged parody of the huge hit “Season in the Sun,” known as a classic summer song by TUBE.
They use the very best, most ‘delicious’ part of the chorus, and it feels so refreshing!
A Gift Without a StampInagaki Gorō / Kusanagi Tsuyoshi / Katori Shingo
This is a commercial that clearly conveys Suntory’s efforts to cherish nature, including narration by Goro Inagaki, Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, and Shingo Katori.
A key feature is the distinctive switching between live-action and animation; because the visuals center on green imagery depicting nature, you can really feel the gentleness.
It portrays a strong yet gentle commitment to caring for the Earth—protecting water, looking ahead to the planet 100 years from now, and more.
Further emphasizing that gentle atmosphere is the song “Kitte no Nai Okurimono,” performed by the three—Goro Inagaki, Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, and Shingo Katori.
It’s a cover of Kazuo Zaitsu’s piece that preserves the tenderness of the original while also conveying the unique sense of hope and forward-driving strength that only these three can bring.
My Way (Japanese lyrics cover)Takehara Pisutoru
This commercial features “My Way” by Takeshi Takahara, a singer-songwriter beloved by men.
It focuses on the vending machines we casually see every day.
Narrated in a woman’s voice, it portrays the vending machine as a forthright, earnest vendor, a depiction that overlaps with Takahara’s gritty, powerful vocals and leads us to feel grateful for its constant presence.
The☆Pea—ce!Mioka Ai
The song used in the 2021 commercial for Suntory’s Craft Boss Matcha Latte, the “On Election Day” edition, is Morning Musume.’s “The Peace!” Released in 2001 as their 12th single, it’s an extremely uplifting track and one of the group’s most popular.
It’s easy to see why Ai Miura starts singing along through her earbuds and breaks into a dance on the street in the ad—it’s such an energizing, hype-inducing song.
The positive lyrics make it a feel-good number that lifts your spirits when you listen.
Etude in E major, Op. 10, No. 3 (“L’Adieu” / “Tristesse”)Furederikku Shopan
This commercial, released in November 2018, drew attention for featuring Takahiro Arai, who retired from professional baseball that year.

Since this piece is also often performed at graduation ceremonies, be sure to listen to it in full.
