An elephant was flying.

The image song for Elena, a supermarket chain mainly operating in Nagasaki and Saga prefectures, is “Elephants Were Flying.” Just from the title it doesn’t seem related to a supermarket, but it comes from Elena’s elephant logo, and the lyrics tell a story about shopping.

The gentle yet lively rhythm is striking, and the buoyant sound conveys the fun of shopping and the small happiness found in everyday life.

It gives the impression of expressing the joy of the time spent wandering around wondering what to buy, rather than just purchasing what you came for.

When it comes to what gives a supermarket its character, the differences in their prepared foods come to mind—and many people might even choose a supermarket based on that.

Its light, breezy sound is striking, and that refreshing vibe really conveys the sense of fun.

This is the song by Mokkun, who served as Daiei’s Special PR Director and appeared as the image character for Thursday Market.

The track, which also plays inside Daiei stores, is a super catchy number: an uptempo tune with lyrics full of repeated phrases that stick in your head.

The composer is Hiroshi Fujimaki, and at the end of the song there’s a guitar solo by Yosuke Fukuba, who performs with Fujimaki as the duo OtoneZ.

The fact that a supermarket’s in-store BGM features a full-fledged guitar solo became a hot topic among music fans.

Gyo! Gyo! Gyo! Gyoza!MADOKA

Not only are there all sorts of frozen products on the market, but gyoza you make yourself is also a household staple.

The song “Gyo! Gyo! Gyo! Gyoza!” takes a close look at what exactly makes gyoza so appealing and talks about it in detail.

Created to promote the sale of Utsunomiya’s famous gyoza, the track expresses a deep love for gyoza with a light touch.

The combination of bleepy, digital sounds layered with a powerful vocal performance also adds to the fun.

Kasumi
