The song was specially written for the CM by singer-songwriter Tamurapan, who also creates idol songs for groups like Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku.
Its pop melody and her cute vocals bring out a girlish charm.
The sound is perfect for a little breather or before bed, soothing anyone who worked hard and feels worn out.

A three-member music group, Sonar Pocket, delivers music that stays close to the heart.
This song was featured in a 2010 Alinamin commercial, and its moving lyrics express feelings for someone special.
The blend of a pop melody with hip-hop-style lyrics makes it easy to listen to.
The trio’s warm voices send encouragement to anyone giving their all every day.
Even if you’re usually too shy to be honest about your feelings, this track might make you want to share them.
Alinamin Pharmaceutical: Alinamin Medical Gold “For Painful Neck Stiffness” VersionRyohei Suzuki
This commercial features Ryohei Suzuki explaining in what situations Alinamin Medical Gold is effective.
Branded as the “blue” Alinamin, the visuals are composed in blue, which conveys a refreshing atmosphere.
Including the background music, the whole piece gives off a fresh, clean feel, and the changes in Ryohei Suzuki’s expression as his symptoms improve also convey a sense of relief.
The ad even uses diagrams to show how symptoms improve, which really boosts the viewer’s motivation to give it a try.
Benzablock Plus Series “Cold Medicine Lyric”Negicco
The quality of the song is so good you wouldn’t believe it was made for a cold medicine.
And guess what—the lyrics and composition are by none other than Hyadain.
It’s catchy—really impactful, you might say—and the chorus sticks in your head so much that you’ll find yourself humming it over and over.
The “cold-related clichés” angle in the lyrics is funny too, right? The performers are Negicco—by the way, do you know about local idols? You could even say that groups like NMB48 and HKT48 are, in a sense, regionally rooted local idols.
Negicco are pioneers of that local idol scene.
Definitely keep an eye on what they do next!

Alinamin Pharmaceutical Alinamin A “For the day’s heavy, sluggish fatigue” editionHaruka Ayase
This commercial features Haruka Ayase explaining who the red Alinamin is intended for and which symptoms it helps improve.
By depicting the situations where Alinamin should be used through Haruka Ayase’s appearance, it also seems likely to prompt viewers to reflect on their own daily lives.
It clearly shows, through changes in facial expressions, which ingredients work for a tired, heavy body and how that condition transforms.
The background music also shifts to a brighter tone, conveying a sense of relief brought by Alinamin.
