Tosoh Corporate Commercial: “Chemistry Is a Cheer.” Lifelong Version

TOSOH’s commercial “Chemistry is a Cheer: Lifetime” is really good.

I think some people will be moved to tears by the narration that says, “It’s okay to make mistakes, it’s okay to get dirty.” Supporting that kind of CM behind the scenes is Sakura Fujiwara’s “sunshine,” which is another tearjerker—you’ll definitely remember this commercial whenever you hear the song! Fujiwara’s singing voice has a mysterious quality, like a mix of head voice and chest voice, and just listening to it makes your heart feel calm.

As for the English lyrics, I recommend translating them yourself and fully immersing yourself in the world of this song, “sunshine”!

Otsuka Pharmaceutical Calorie Mate 'Light and Shadow' Version

Let’s go! Smile Precure!Kakuno Hayato

This piece is a boldly arranged piano version of the opening theme from the anime Smile Precure!.

The original is a lively, powerful track layered with light, buoyant vocals, but this arrangement emphasizes a gentle warmth that even evokes a sense of nostalgia.

By paralleling a children’s anime with the struggles of entrance exams, it conveys a message of shaking off what’s been weighing you down and, in line with the show’s theme of “smiles,” cheering you on to move toward a happy future.

It’s crafted with colors and composition that evoke the 1990s.

Suntory BAR Pomum: “Tonight, I want to drink quietly”

ChronostasisTaniguchi Maguro (KANA-BOON) & Takahashi Honoka (Rīgaru Rirī)

Are you familiar with the commercial for BAR Pomum, the alcoholic beverage from Suntory that lets you savor the fruit flavors at leisure? Lively drinking parties are fun, but it’s a lovely ad that makes you think it might be nice to drink quietly once in a while.

The tagline, “Tonight, I want to drink quietly,” also feels very natural.

The background music is “Chronostasis” by KANA-BOON’s Maguro Taniguchi.

The lyrics, which link the phenomenon of a clock’s hand seeming to stop with romance, are like a kind of love letter and are truly wonderful.

Otsuka Pharmaceutical Pocari Sweat: “Oshikura Manju” Edition / “The Balloon Flew Away” Edition / “The Parched Winter Has Arrived” Edition

parchedSuzuki Mamiko

A Pocari Sweat commercial featuring Yo Yoshida and Rio Suzuki as a mother and daughter, with Miyu Murata joining them as well.

Starting in December 2023, three versions of the commercial have aired, with the song Karakara, written specifically for the ad by chelmico’s Mamiko Suzuki.

The gentle melody and vocals, which feel like they’re warmly watching over the three as they gleefully play outside in the chilly, leaf-strewn air, are striking.

It makes you wonder what kinds of unseen worlds these three, from different generations, will dive into next.

Through various kinds of play, the song evokes a sense of exploring and opening up those unseen worlds.

Original songNagamata Shōhei

Shohei Nagata, the straight man of the comedy duo Chocolate Planet, is also known for performing sketches that showcase his strong singing ability.

You can enjoy his vocals in Nissin’s “This Is Absolutely Delicious Song” commercial from the ‘This Is Absolutely Delicious’ series.

In it, Shohei Nagata passionately sings an original song that builds anticipation for the product.

His fervent vocals are moving—and will surely make you want to try the product.

Remarkably, this song was even performed at the 2022 FNS Music Festival.

Aoyama Tailor Men's Freshers: 'With AOYAMA, you're all set' Edition

It’s okayOsada Shohei (Chokoreeto Puranetto)

In this commercial introducing suits for men’s freshers, Ryuya Miyase plays the fresher, Chocolate Planet’s Matsuo plays his mother, and Osada handles the song.

With the tagline “With Aoyama, you’re all set,” it appeals to first-time suit buyers by assuring them that Aoyama is a reliable choice.

The background track Daijoubu, sung by Osada, is a very catchy, easy-to-listen, mid-tempo song that makes you want to play it over and over.
