The song that further emphasizes the ad’s warmth and refreshing feel is Ai Otsuka’s “FREEKY (by Koichi Tsutaya).” As the title suggests, music producer Koichi Tsutaya handled the composition and arrangement, creating a light, breezy atmosphere.

The lyrics by Ai Otsuka are another striking element, expressing a positive message about moving forward as your true self, conveyed through both the sound and her vocals.

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.

This commercial shows Alice Hirose eating Aerial and really driving home how irresistibly delicious it is.

She starts thinking she’ll just have a little, but can’t stop, and her surprised expression when she sees the empty bag—all of it conveys the taste in an overall humorous tone.

The comedic atmosphere of the visuals is further highlighted by a parody of the well-known children’s song “Shōjōji no Tanukibayashi.” With Charan-Po-Rantan’s light, airy vocals promoting Aerial’s deliciousness, the song clearly conveys a sense of lightness and fun.

This commercial expresses the expansive fragrance of Lenor Happiness through a scene of two people watching fireworks side by side.

It humorously portrays how the character’s attention is drawn to a sudden whiff of scent from the side, causing them to miss the fireworks.

The fact that Erika Sawajiri realizes the character is being distracted by the fragrance also adds an amusing twist to the story.

Further highlighting the calm atmosphere of such an ordinary everyday moment is the song “Just The Way You Are” by EXILE’s ATSUSHI.

The gentle vocals layered over the serene sound convey a relaxed mood.
