[From timeless classics to the latest hits] A roundup of catchy commercial jingles (1181–1190)

JBL TOUR PRO 2 “Music is the best!” Version

Prince ShōtokuSuiyōbi no Campanella

JBL “Music is the best!” Campaign TV Commercial 60 seconds

This commercial conveys JBL’s commitment to supporting a rich music life by showing Uta, the vocalist of Wednesday Campanella, speaking passionately about the brilliance of music.

It depicts people whose lives are vividly enriched by music, with JBL products right by their side.

After the powerful narration, Wednesday Campanella’s song ‘Prince Shōtoku’ plays, and even through the light, buoyant vocals, you can feel the happiness of being able to connect with music.

Nissin Foods Chicken Ramen 'Chikira Hopper' Edition

Axel HopperNagai Yuichiro

Comedian Yuichiro Nagai’s signature routine drew major attention when he performed it on “Enta no Kamisama” around 2006.

The style centers on dance set to a lively rhythm, interwoven with short, silly anecdotes.

In the Chicken Ramen commercial, the character performs this routine; the slowed-down tempo compared to the original adds a subtle eeriness.

It’s a curious piece in which only the wish—to place the egg neatly in Chicken Ramen’s egg pocket—is lightheartedly sung.

TOYOTA Land Cruiser “Shonan no Kaze: Adventurer” Version

AdventurerShonan no Kaze

After posing the question “What is a Land Cruiser?” at the beginning of the commercial, it cuts to striking footage of the Dakar Rally, known as the world’s toughest motorsport.

The determined looks of the drivers and mechanics are unforgettable—and incredibly cool.

The CM’s background music features Shonan no Kaze’s newly written track “Bōkensha” (Adventurer).

Its powerful, encouraging lyrics—so in tune with the commercial’s theme—are a major draw.

Suntory The Premium Malt's “Silent Fathers” Version

Original songsawada kaori

This is an original song by singer-songwriter Kaori Sawada, created for the Suntory “The Premium Malt’s” commercial.

The gentle sound of the ukulele layered with her soft vocals matches perfectly with the visuals that portray the warmth of family.

The lyrics, which express the joy of a child’s growth, also highlight the strength of family bonds, giving the song an overall image of gentle smiles.

Because it’s sung tenderly in English, it works perfectly as background music and seems to complement the commercial’s imagery.

Both the visuals and the music convey those happy moments found in everyday life.

GMO Gaika: “If it’s FX, GMO Gaika will do” version / “If it’s CFD, GMO Gaika will do” version

Original songŌrin

A commercial for GMO Gaika featuring Ourin, who is active on variety shows and dramas.

In the ad, Ourin appears as the lead singer of a rock band and belts out an original song asking whether GMO Gaika is the best choice for starting FX or CFD.

It’s only a 15-second spot, but it’s impressively cool, isn’t it?

Lawson “Uchi Café ‘Hapirō with Cream! Chocolate Sandwich Song’” Version

Original songŌrin

This commercial introduces the delicious dedication behind Lawson’s “Tokunou Chocolate Sandwich,” set to a lighthearted song by Ōrin.

The bouncy rhythm, with a hint of rockabilly, is striking and conveys the excitement you feel when you take a bite of the chocolate sandwich.

The alternating structure of Ōrin’s introductions and Rina Kawaei’s impressions strongly emphasizes its great taste.

NEC “Unstoppable Me, Let’s Go!” Edition

Original songMayumura Chiaki

This commercial depicts a woman agonizing as she writes her entry sheet, thinking, “This isn’t the real me…” Surely many people feel the same kind of discomfort when they adjust themselves to fit a company.

At the end of the commercial, we see her find a place where she can be her true self and confidently present herself with energy.

The CM song by Chiaki Mayumura features lyrics linked to the visuals, and its bright, bouncy rhythm is truly uplifting.
