No-YesNumber_i
Three members of Number_i appear in Suntory’s Beer Ball commercial.
Set against a summery seaside barbecue, the ad features a variety of drinks made with Beer Ball.
The background music is “No-Yes,” which is reportedly Number_i’s first-ever song tied to a commercial.
With its easy-to-catch beat and bright vibe, it’s an uplifting track that’s perfect for summer.
The Galaxy Express 999Platina Jazz
This song was featured in a 2015 commercial for Chita Whisky starring Takeru Satoh.
The original is Godiego’s “Galaxy Express 999,” but when it’s arranged in jazz, it sounds like a completely different tune—very stylish.
An album featuring this track and other Japanese anime songs arranged in jazz has been released.
Ellie My LoveRay Charles
This song was used in a 1989 commercial for Suntory White.
The ad featured a toy Ray Charles playing the piano, but the original song is Southern All Stars’ “Itoshi no Ellie.” They asked Ray Charles to cover it specifically for the commercial, and that’s how it came about.
It sounds wonderful, almost like an original song of his.
In the NavyVillage People
This song was used in a 2010 commercial for “Calorie” featuring Nozomi Sasaki.
The target market for the Village People, who perform this song, was, believe it or not, gay men.
Apparently, they were the first to market themselves with gay men as the main target.
There are even stories that the members themselves were as well…
LITTLE BUSTERSthe pillows
This commercial features Haruna Kawaguchi smiling as she drinks a beer, accompanied by colorful visuals based on light blue tones.
The animation themed around nature—clouds, greenery, and flowers—matches the beer’s fruity, rich flavor profile.
Set to a band performance of the pillows’ “LITTLE BUSTERS,” the result is a refreshing piece of visual work.
Like the flow of a riverKiyosaku
In the Suntory Draft Beer commercial titled “The Chaser,” Kento Yamazaki runs after a bus he’s missed, while Mone Kamishiraishi chases after him to hand over something he forgot.
The spot has a gently heartwarming feel, nicely complemented by Kiyosaku’s rendition of ‘Like the Flow of the River’ used as the BGM.
In Kiyosaku’s cover, the addition of a horn section and the emphasis on the off-beats create a relaxed ska arrangement that makes for a very pleasant listen.

A Charming ParalysisOgino Kiyoko
This Iemon commercial is striking for its contrasting cast: Masato Sakai, who isn’t very interested in tea, and Kotone Furukawa, who introduces the new Iemon.
Each story unfolds in a hair salon and a restaurant, respectively, with a direction that gives it an eerie, mystery-like vibe and a sense of anticipation that something is about to happen.
The unique atmosphere of the commercial is created by the background music, “A Ghost of a Chance” (Suteki na Kanashibari).
It’s the theme song from director Koki Mitani’s film “A Ghost of a Chance,” and it stirs a kind of uneasy, heart-pounding feeling.
