[From timeless classics to the latest hits] A roundup of catchy commercial songs (341–350)
Strangers In The NightFrank Sinatra
Frank Sinatra’s “Strangers in the Night” was released in 1966 and is also well known in Japan under the title “Yoru no Stranger.” Originally composed by Bert Kaempfert as an instrumental piece for the film “A Man Could Get Killed,” it later had English lyrics added and, as a sung version, spread around the world.
The blend of its gentle sound and the expansiveness of Sinatra’s vocals leaves a heartwarming impression.
The song has been featured in a commercial promoting Pay Light, a cashless payment service for dental clinics across Japan, using the music to convey the service’s sense of reliability.
MemoryMakihara Noriyuki
This is a commercial that promotes Nivea Body’s Marshmallow Care, known for its irresistibly fluffy foam, through the presence of Asuka Saito.
It depicts her spreading the foam over her entire body, and the relaxed expressions and overall atmosphere of the visuals effectively convey a sense of softness.
The song that further accentuates the softness expressed in the imagery is Noriyuki Makihara’s “Kioku” (Memory).
The layered, digital-tinged sound is striking and, on its own, can feel tense; however, when combined with his gentle vocals, it creates a uniquely floating sensation.
It’s a piece that seems to express a grand worldview—one of connecting past memories to the future.
Important personFujimaki Ryota
This commercial highlights the luxurious feel of Nivea’s Premium Body Milk through the presence of Michiko Kichise.
It portrays her incorporating the Premium Body Milk into her relaxing time at home, with her smile conveying the product’s pleasant texture and uplifting effect.
Further accentuating the calm atmosphere of the visuals is the song “Taisetsu na Hito” by Ryota Fujimaki.
The gentle, piano-centered sound is striking, and combined with his soaring vocals, it expresses kindness and warmth.
As the music swells into a grand development, it also evokes a sense of stepping forward toward the future.
Sons and Daughters ~ More than that, what I want to say isCHAGE and ASKA
This is a 1994 commercial for Subaru’s kei car, the VIVIO.
The purple body color—something you’d hardly believe was a factory option and unimaginable today—is super cute and catchy, isn’t it? The VIVIO has a sporty image and enjoys lasting popularity among car enthusiasts, but this ad highlights its compact size, nimble handling, and generous cargo capacity.
For the background music, they again used a song by CHAGE and ASKA, as in past VIVIO commercials.
It’s a track carrying a message to children, with a near–a cappella arrangement that’s both beautiful and powerful.
Blue SpringSUPER BEAVER
This commercial conveys that even college students—often said to be on a “summer vacation of life”—are each working hard with passion.
The moment of powering up with Lipovitan D is a key touch, highlighting their full-on commitment to part-time jobs, lessons, studying, and more.
The song that underscores the freshness and strength of youth charging ahead is SUPER BEAVER’s “Aoi Haru.” Its band sound, brimming with momentum, is striking, and both the lyrics and vocals evoke the feeling of sprinting through one’s youth.
It’s fine just the way it is, baby.T-junctions
This commercial portrays people spending their own time in a bar, while also highlighting the presence of Sapporo Lager Beer that supports that sense of fulfillment.
With the theme “Bottled Beer in Your Life,” it gently conveys the desire to preserve and develop bar culture.
The song that further accentuates the relaxed moments and calm atmosphere depicted in the visuals is T-Jiro’s “Kono mama de ii no sa baby.” Its easygoing rhythm and vocals tinged with a hint of languor evoke the image of moving forward at a carefree pace.
Tomorrow Too (IKUSHAMO Ver.)IKUSHAMO
This is the Mitsuya Cider commercial featuring Erika Ikuta alongside the members of SHISHAMO.
Titled “Crazy About the Band,” the ad shows Ikuta joining SHISHAMO and performing their signature song, ‘Ashita mo.’ The version with Ikuta was released under the name IKUSHAMO, and it’s even available in karaoke! The vocal range suits a typical female voice, and the chorus in particular has a straightforward melody, so it’s easy to sing.
It’s a well-known and popular song, so it’s perfect for everyone to sing together!
