Spotify | Music for your everyday — Karaoke homeward-bound version, 30 seconds

In this commercial, there’s a scene where a man who is a department manager at a company goes to karaoke with his subordinates.

Just when you think it’s a story about the manager not being able to keep up with his much younger team, he surprises everyone by singing Sakanaction’s “Kaijū,” instantly livening up the place! After karaoke, they chat about Sakanaction’s albums, someone asks, “You’re heading out already?”, and you can see how music helps bridge the gap between him and his team.

The closing message, “When you want to get closer, turn to music,” really sticks with you.

The song “Kaijū” used in this commercial was released in 2025 as the theme song for the anime Chi: On the Movements of the Earth.

It features a characteristically Sakanaction-like, soothing melody line and powerful lyrics about struggling yet striving to move forward, which is its appeal.
