From Timeless Classics to the Newest Hits: A Collection of Catchy Commercial Songs (161–170)
Let’s go see (someone).UA
People boarding the Shinkansen to head to all kinds of event venues—music concerts, comedy shows, baseball games—are shown alongside the charged atmosphere at those venues.
The commercial conveys the message that they’re not just going to a venue or a gathering; they’re going to meet someone.
It’s a lovely expression that makes you feel as if the distance between you and your favorite performer has suddenly grown much smaller.
The background music is an instrumental brass arrangement of UA’s “Ai ni Ikou” (Let’s Go Meet).
Its flowing melody really sticks in your head after just one listen.
Imai Miki
This commercial portrays a day in the life of Yuriko Yoshitaka.
In a calm voice, she talks about getting up properly every morning, finishing work, coming home in the cold, and still doing the laundry—and how she wants to be praised for that.
The direction leaves a strong impression that it’s thanks to the scent of New Beads that she’s able to keep going.
The BGM is one of Miki Imai’s signature songs, “PIECE OF MY WISH.” Released in 1991, it reached No.
1 on the Oricon charts.
It’s a gentle yet powerful encouragement ballad about facing your weakened self, accepting it, and moving forward.
Yamazaki is number one!Yamazaki Hiroya
This is a commercial introducing a soupless dandan noodles product that you can enjoy just by heating it in a microwave—a big part of its appeal is how easy it is.
The ad features a close-up of Hiroya Yamazaki’s face, highlighting the product’s charm and its strong sales.
Yamazaki’s indescribable expression is surreal and really memorable, isn’t it? The song playing in the background is actually a parody of the theme song from the 1997 anime “Class King Yamazaki.” For men from the early Heisei era (single-digit years), it’s probably a nostalgic tune, don’t you think?
Bottomless beautySaitō Kazuyoshi
This commercial promotes Megmilk’s Megumi Gasseri SP Strain Yogurt by highlighting how it supports the activities of many different people.
A variety of professions appear, conveying that health is important no matter what you do, and expressing the brand’s commitment to supporting it from within the body.
The song that accentuates the calm atmosphere of the visuals is Kazuyoshi Saito’s “Bottomless Beauty.” While the tempo feels gentle, the tone carries a sense of boldness, conveying a powerful feeling of moving forward step by step.
Ah. There are moments that pass in an instant.Takehara Pisutoru
This is Sumitomo Life’s series commercial “At That Moment, Vitality (Bicycle)” featuring Hajime Ueda, played by Eita.
While seemingly commuting by bicycle, Ueda grins as he looks at his wrist while waiting at a traffic light.
The idea is that he’s started managing his health with an Apple Watch.
The CM song is the familiar “Ah, There’s a Fleeting Moment” sung by Pistol Takehara.
Look UpNulbarich
In this 2019 commercial for XC, the familiar face of Keiko Kitagawa appears.
She spots an XC watch in a shop window, tries it on inside, and the way her expression instantly brightens is striking.
The background music is Nulbarich’s “Look Up,” marking their second consecutive year after also being featured in the 2018 ad.
The lyrics are filled with encouraging, uplifting words for those feeling down, and listening to it gives you courage and the strength to move forward again.
Paired with the refreshingly clear vocals, it’s a song that lifts your spirits.
Minute by MinutePenthouse
It’s a commercial that shows Keiko Kitagawa wearing Citizen’s xC while delivering a powerful message about what a wristwatch truly is.
The key point here is being true to yourself, highlighting how the xC has an elegant sparkle that makes you want to wear it for your own sake.
Amid the glamorous visuals, her gentle expressions convey a reassuring sense that the watch will reliably support your everyday life.
Further accentuating the ad’s soft atmosphere is the song “Minute by Minute” by Penthouse.
Its shimmering sound, which incorporates brass, paired with vocals that are both tender and strong, leaves a lasting impression and evokes a sense of joy.
