No.4yobikomikun
When you step into a supermarket, doesn’t that lively melody drifting from somewhere sound familiar? It’s a tune played by a voice-type POP device called “Yobikomi-kun,” and the title is “No.
4.” There are no lyrics, but because the same melody loops endlessly, many people find their heads filled with it by the time they leave the store.
Yobikomi-kun strongly carries the image that there are great deals wherever it’s playing—making it a powerful ally for household budgets.
It’s also hugely popular with children, and in 2021 a smaller version of Yobikomi-kun was released for the general public.
I wishYAK.
This is the image song for Daikokuten Bussan, which operates a variety of stores including the discount chains La-Mu and Dio.

It feels like a song that embodies Daikokuten Bussan’s supportive stance of firmly backing customers with great value.
LAMU’s Thememizna
LAMU is a discount supermarket popular in western Japan.
The song that plays in-store as its theme is this “LAMU Theme Song.” If you listen without knowing it’s a supermarket theme, you might think it’s an idol track—it’s that polished.
The singer is someone named mizna.
The lyrics, which encourage you to keep your dreams no matter what and stay upbeat, are energizing despite it being a supermarket song.
When you’re feeling down, going to LAMU can lift your spirits—and you end up buying all sorts of things! In a way, you can’t help but think, is this the strategy? It’s an amazing song.
The Song of a Good LifeSakata Arisa
This is an image song promoting the Kurashi Ryoko brand sold at supermarkets that are members of the All Japan Supermarket Association.
As the brand name suggests, the products embody the desire to support everyone’s daily lives, and that feeling comes through clearly in the song as well.
It also depicts the small, everyday happiness found in daily life, conveying the idea that shopping itself can make you feel happy.
With its light, breezy sound, it leaves the impression that no matter where it’s played in the supermarket, it lifts your spirits.
Good Smile Day Madam JOYHITOSHI

The sound feels simple yet infused with a sense of sophistication and freshness, evoking the fun of shopping.
It’s a piece that seems to embody a lifestyle-oriented approach—aiming to make users’ everyday lives even more exciting.
Honey CM 2021
This is a theme song that brightly promotes Honey, a supermarket chain centered in Fukui Prefecture.
Its lively, buoyant rhythm and cheerful sound are striking, lightly conveying the fun of shopping.
The lyrics, which sing about everyday happiness, are another key point, expressing the wish for Honey to feel close and be useful in people’s daily lives.
The inclusion of children’s voices in the chorus also gives the impression of strong community ties and appeals to it being a place beloved by a wide range of generations.
