UCC Regular CoffeePaul Mauriat
A rare commercial featuring Paul Mauriat, the French composer, conductor, and pianist.
The music in the ad is also by Paul Mauriat: “HOT ON THE SCENT.” During a break, Mauriat sits at the piano, enjoys a cup of coffee, and relaxes.
It ends with the catchphrase, “Coffee is music.” Both the commercial and the piece are crafted with great care, and even now, watching it is truly enchanting.
Misato Watanabe
A UCC commercial featuring singer Misato Watanabe.
With “Koi shitatte iijanai” playing in the background, Misato Watanabe runs up a flight of stairs.
It really captures her energetic vibe, perfectly matching the song’s image! Although it’s a coffee commercial, most of the footage is of her, which makes it quite memorable.
Back then, I bet many people found themselves wondering, “What is this a commercial for?” as it caught their eye.
Misato Watanabe
It’s a commercial that leaves an impression with Misato Watanabe’s suspicious gaze as she peers beyond the screen.
It seems to be a winter-season ad promoting hot coffee.
In the end, Misato Watanabe smiles warmly, which is a relief.
Watching this commercial, I get the feeling that someone asks, “Are you going to drink it or not?” and if you answer “I’ll drink it,” you’re rewarded with that adorable smile at the end.

BLACK Unsweetened Cinema Ad: ‘Nevertheless,’ VersionMasahiro Komoto, Yui Okamoto, Aoi Sekiya
The BLACK Sugarless commercial “And Yet,” which portrays the awkward exchanges between a father and his daughter.
Masahiro Komoto plays the father, Yui Okamoto the daughter, and Aoi Sekiya the daughter in her childhood.
Gently wrapping their interactions is the CM song “Katachi no Nai Mono” by odol.
The father believes in his daughter’s talent as she aims for an art university and supports her, but his clumsy nature keeps his feelings from coming across… Even so, when his daughter faces a setback, it’s that same father who quietly offers her a coffee and stays by her side.
Directed by Rin Soejima of AOI Pro., the spot delivers a gently tear-jerking story.

In UCC’s “Message” commercial for BLACK Sugar-Free featuring Kengo Kora, Deep Purple’s “Black Night” is used.
Released in 1970, this song has been a staple in UCC commercials since around 1994, when BLACK Sugar-Free began hitting the market.
The ad features only the distinctive guitar melody, enhancing the product’s cool image.
Kengo Kora appears in a black suit and coolly declares his desire to be someone who boldly takes on anything.
