It’s a commercial that catches the eye with Rui Hachimura shouting the product name “Hayate” in perfect sync with the music.

This commercial features Takuya Kimura conveying the shock of frappes arriving at McDonald’s.

He’s surprised when he sees the frappe Suzu Hirose is holding and can’t help but stare at it, leading to a comical turn of events.

The ad also subtly suggests pairing the frappe with fries.

The CM song is Boys Town Gang’s classic disco tune “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You.” Its straightforwardly uplifting sound evokes a summery vibe and perfectly fits the situation of enjoying a frappe.

You’ve probably seen staff in town holding signs that say “Model House Open.” This iPhone commercial follows a day in the life of exactly that kind of staff member.

While guiding customers, they kill time on their iPhone during the slow moments.

It shows that the battery, which was at 98% upon arrival, still has 35% left at the end of the day—highlighting its long battery life.

The background rap track is “Bell” by Campanella and GuruConnect.

The cool, stylish rap laid over a sleek beat is a must-listen.

Mitsubishi Electric microwave oven

Yesterday Once MoreCarpenters

This Carpenters song was used in a Mitsubishi Electric microwave oven TV commercial that aired in the 1990s.

It was included on their 1973 album “Now & Then” and later released as a single, becoming a popular track.

The lyrics are lyrical and reflective, evoking one’s own past brought back by a favorite song once heard on the radio—something many adults can relate to.

The gentle melody and vocals perfectly match the words, making it all the more appealing, so I highly recommend listening closely while reading the lyrics.
