mabatakiVaundy
This song, which opens with Vaundy’s whisper-like vocals, might be familiar to J-POP fans from YouTube recommendations or playlists on iTunes and Spotify.
It was also featured in several commercials—such as Suntory BOSS Caffeine’s “Awake? Meeting” spot and NTT Docomo’s youth support film “#Seishun Time Trip”—so even those who don’t actively listen to music may recognize it.
The lyrics, which earnestly wish for peace and a world where everyone can live happily, are sure to move you, so be sure to listen while reading along with the words.
Rolling DaysWANIMA
This is the in Jelly commercial supporting exam-takers, titled “Turn that nervousness into energy.
Rolling Days.” It unfolds around the theme of nerves: the more serious you are, the more nervous you get—but the message encourages turning that nervousness into strength.
In the second half of the ad, WANIMA’s live footage appears and their song “Rolling Days” plays.
The lyrics carry a message that pushes people to keep moving forward despite their inner struggles, making it a perfect cheer song for students preparing for entrance exams.
Sweet RainWOLF HOWL HARMONY
This is the commercial for Nagashima Resort’s Jumbo Seawater Pool for fiscal year 2023.
How about heading out during the hot summer with friends, a partner, or family? The CM song features the debut track “Sweet Rain” by the vocal-rap group WOLF HOWL HARMONY.
Souls feat. suis from YorushikaWurtS
This is an introduction commercial for the newly released 2024 SUV, the Tiguan.
It looks at home both in the city and in nature, combining dynamism with sophistication—an appealing mix of qualities that might seem contradictory at first.
Watching the footage, which focuses mainly on driving scenes, many viewers have probably fallen for its cool looks.
The background music in this commercial is WurtS’s “Souls feat.
suis from Yorushika.” It’s a lavish collaboration featuring Yorushika’s vocalist suis and the horn section from Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra.
The contrast between the languid vocal delivery and the lyrics that express positivity and ambition is especially captivating.
IN THE RAINXG
This is a commercial featuring the girl group XG, who are active and based in South Korea.
It presents McDonald’s convenient services—such as mobile ordering, coupons, and McDelivery—through visuals with a sci‑fi vibe.
In addition, the “Real-Time McParty with XG” version introduces Real-Time McParty, a streaming event taking place in February 2025.
The background music uses a remix of their song “IN THE RAIN.” Unlike the remix, the original track has a calm, beautiful atmosphere.
Since the lyrics are bittersweet and sad, be sure to listen while checking out the Japanese-to-English lyric translation as well.
IS THIS LOVEXG
This commercial spotlights people who are giving their all—starting with the girl group XG—and also portrays ANESSA’s commitment to supporting them.
A key point is that it shows not only serious expressions but moments of enjoyment as well, powerfully conveying the message that having fun leads to stronger performance and a more fulfilling experience.
The song that further underscores this stylish yet powerful vibe is XG’s “IS THIS LOVE.” Riding on a strong rhythm, their airy vocals create a fresh sense of dynamism, as if stepping forward into a bright future.
SHOOTING STARXG
Here’s a commercial for the music streaming service Spotify.
It promotes Spotify to the tune of a song by XG, a popular Japan-origin group active in Korea, and the collaboration works beautifully as it can be seen as both an ad for XG and for Spotify.
I bet many people felt like starting Spotify after watching this.
