In this article, we’ll introduce a bunch of supermarket in-store BGM tracks that will make you think, “I’ve heard this before!” and bring a little smile to your face.

Compilation of supermarket in-store BGM: from Yobikomi-kun to original songs (61–70)

PLANT

SUPER CENTER PLANT

SUPER CENTER PLANT

PLANT, headquartered in Fukui Prefecture, has opened stores across regions such as Hokuriku, Kansai, and Chugoku.

A distinctive feature is that it handles not only food but also clothing and everyday goods, and the lyrics of the song played in the store sing about its wide selection.

The track is marked by a snappy guitar accompaniment and a funky bassline, highlighted by a rich female vocal reminiscent of a Western pop singer.

If you play guitar or bass, it’s the kind of song that makes you want to pick up your instrument and try it yourself!

DZ Mart

Our friends

DZ Mart is a supermarket operated by Daizen Co., Ltd.

With locations throughout Hokkaido, it’s a familiar store for many residents.

The in-store BGM at DZ Mart features a soothing sound and a light, upbeat melody that’s very pleasant to listen to.

The song is performed by SINON, a singer from Aomori Prefecture, whose gentle voice matches the track perfectly.

The lyrics, which express feelings for loved ones such as family and partners, are also wonderful, so be sure to pay attention to the words as you listen.

Supermarket Fuji

Let’s dream tomorrow

This is the in-store background music of Supermarket Fuji, a chain headquartered in Hiroshima Prefecture with stores mainly across the Chugoku and Shikoku regions.

In addition to a calm and refreshing melody typical of supermarket BGM, the positive lyrics leave a strong impression.

Another distinctive feature of this song is that all the lyrics in the first half are in English, giving it a slightly different vibe from other supermarkets’ background music.

Since the company’s main office is in Ehime Prefecture, it’s likely a familiar tune especially for residents of Ehime.

Farewell Waltz

Farewell Waltz - Auld Lang Syne
Farewell Waltz

The “Farewell Waltz” that plays right before closing time in various commercial facilities is a song whose somewhat lonely melody makes you feel it’s time to go.

However, many people may mistakenly remember this closing-time BGM as “Hotaru no Hikari.” Both pieces do originate from the same Scottish folk song, “Auld Lang Syne,” but the closing-time BGM is considered to be the “Farewell Waltz” that appeared in a scene from the film Waterloo Bridge.

The song was used in a dance scene in the movie, and because that scene took place near closing time, the track came to be adopted as closing-time BGM.

The fact that its rhythm differs from that of “Auld Lang Syne” and “Hotaru no Hikari” is another point that proves the BGM is the “Farewell Waltz.”

Gyutora

Lovely Market

“Lovely Market” is the in-store BGM of Gyutora, a local supermarket chain operating in Mie Prefecture.

It features a relaxed tempo and a cute singing voice, with a gentle, memorable melody line.

As seen in store names like “Lovely ___ Store,” the word “Lovely” has become a kind of keyword for Gyutora, and it’s repeated many times in the lyrics as well.

It’s an extremely catchy tune that really sticks in your head when you listen to it.

Beisia

Original Song

Songs and background music that every Gunma resident has heard at least once
Original Song

This is a song played at Beisia, a supermarket headquartered in Maebashi City, Gunma Prefecture, with stores mainly across eastern Japan.

Since supermarkets are essential to daily life, the song conveys Beisia’s desire to support people’s everyday lives.

The gentle atmosphere of the sound is striking, and together with the kind, colorful melody, it delivers a strong sense of warmth.

Including the vocals that highlight that warmth, the song also conveys a wish to be a familiar, close presence.

King of Bananas! Sweetly Ripe Kingōsama

King of Bananas. Kanjuku-Oh “The King’s Dance” Full Chorus Ver.
King of Bananas! Sweetly Ripe Kingōsama

This is the theme song for Amajuku-Oh, a brand whose very name—The King of Bananas—conveys confidence and passionate love for bananas.

The song feels like it traces the journey of a banana as it ripens, and it even makes you feel grateful for the banana that finally reaches your hands.

The sound is striking too, with a powerful electric guitar reminiscent of Group Sounds adding vigor to the track.

Overall, it has a bright, cheerful vibe, so if you heard it in the store, you might just find yourself picking up a banana without thinking.
