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.

The image song for PLANT, a supermarket headquartered in Sakai City, Fukui Prefecture with stores in various prefectures centered around Fukui, is “PLALALA.” The song expresses the philosophy that shoppers come seeking something, and that the company aims to meet those needs fully.

The sound is very gentle, layered with a powerful, soaring vocal that creates a warm atmosphere.

Since much of it consists of a “la la la” chorus, the track also evokes a sense of unity.

This is the theme song played at Sunlive and Marushoku, supermarkets familiar in Kyushu and the Chugoku region.
