When you think of JR Central and Eri Fukatsu, the 1988 Hometown Express commercial comes to mind.
In this commercial, Fukatsu makes her first appearance in a JR Central ad in a long time.
In addition to emphasizing the importance of meeting someone dear to you, the Shinkansen is memorably portrayed as the means to go see them.
The background music in the commercial is “Nozomi,” a song released by odol in 2022.
Its lyrics, which depict meeting a loved one who lives far away, are warm, and together with the gentle vocals, they resonate deeply in the heart.
Enchanted LipsNEW!Janku Fujiyama
The commercial for Chao Ontake Snow Resort, a ski area once operated by JR Central, featured Junk Fujiyama’s “Miwaku no Kuchibiru” (“Enchanted Lips”).
The song is one of the tracks included on the 2013 single “Shedar.” Its refreshing city-pop-style melody is captivating, while the lyrics evoke a sense of mature romance.
It’s a song you can savor by listening closely, and thanks to its flowing melody, it also feels great to belt out.
Blue SpringNEW!Ikuta Erika
When it comes to Erika Ikuta, some of you might picture her showcasing her singing voice in commercials.
In this particular ad, she covers SUPER BEAVER’s Aoi Haru.
It’s arranged in a refreshing piano-rock style that perfectly matches the youthful imagery of the commercial and the crisp taste of Mitsuya Cider.
Love LaterNEW!sumika
Yuki Katayama, who has a reservation for the Shinkansen, is waiting in line at a popular shop before boarding.
However, the line isn’t moving much, and it looks like she won’t make it in time for her reserved train.
She takes out her smartphone and quickly changes her reservation using Smart EX.
In the latter half of the commercial, it’s also shown that you can quickly change reservations with the EX Travel Pack, highlighting how convenient it is to use the Shinkansen with Smart EX.
My Favorite ThingsNEW!Uehara Hiromi
When it comes to the JR Central travel campaign “Yes, let’s go to Kyoto,” the CM song is, of course, “My Favorite Things” from the musical The Sound of Music, also known as a jazz standard.
Each commercial features a different version, and in the “Around Honganji” edition, a cover by jazz pianist Hiromi Uehara is used.
It begins with a flowing, mysterious atmosphere, then in the latter half unfolds into a crisp, buoyant, and delightfully catchy melody.
You can’t help but be captivated by the ever-changing melodic lines.
Original songNEW!Hisaishi Joe
This commercial expresses the dedication to barley embodied in The Premium Malt’s Master’s Dream through a unique worldview.
The individuality of the barley is a major theme, conveying a striving spirit that discerns each grain’s character to achieve the ultimate flavor.
The grand visuals charging toward that ideal are further accentuated by a piece specially composed for this by Joe Hisaishi.
Its structure, which gradually builds in strength, is striking, and the sweeping development that follows conveys an expansive sense of scenery.
GibbsNEW!Shiina Ringo
The Meritto commercials are becoming known for their animated spots featuring the memorable singing voices of small children.
Among them, this one introduces Meritto Kids, a version for children.
It highlights that the foam comes out ready-made, making it easy for little kids to use.
The BGM features “Gips,” one of Ringo Sheena’s signature songs.
Although it’s originally a love song, when paired with this footage, it feels like it’s singing about the love between parent and child.
