Compilation of supermarket in-store BGM. A grand gathering from Yobikomi-kun to original songs (71–80)
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.”
Itoku, a sincere “How are you?”Kokubu Yurie
The theme song of Itoku, a supermarket headquartered in Odate City, Akita Prefecture, with many stores across Akita and Aomori, is “ITOKU: Heartfelt ‘How are you?’”.
The lyrics express a desire to support the lives of local people, and the upbeat, fun atmosphere of the sound is striking.
That cheerful sound incorporates various percussion instruments, clearly conveying a passionate vibe as well.
With singer-songwriter Yurie Kokubu on vocals and high production quality throughout, it’s a theme song that seems crafted with real care and energy.
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.

Marui Theme Song
Marui is a supermarket headquartered in Okayama Prefecture that operates stores across the Chugoku region.
The in-store BGM at Marui is captivating for its vivid compositions, featuring piano accompaniment at the core with strings adding a touch of elegance.
The fresh, breezy delivery of the female vocals is also invigorating, making a great impression from the very first listen.
In addition, the interlude after the second chorus, where the strings take the melody, is exceptionally beautiful and satisfying to hear, so be sure to listen closely.
Tokoton Rhythm
Its Olympic Theme Song is “Tokoton Rhythm,” created for the supermarket and discount store chain operating mainly in the Kanto region centered on Tokyo.
The song highlights the brand’s major appeal to users—being “thoroughly cheap”—conveying both value and a light, breezy feel.
The airy rhythm and sound that match the titular “Tokoton” are also key points, evoking a positive atmosphere.
It’s a track that seems to express the wish for customers to first pick up products and feel the savings, and to keep using the stores going forward.
