The song “rock’n roll hero,” included on Keisuke Kuwata’s 2002 original album, gives a natural, refreshing feeling that ties in perfectly with UNIQLO’s “Kando Pants” commercial.

It’s said that Kuwata wrote the track with a touch of irony: although he once admired Western rock ’n’ rollers, he ultimately felt he was neither a rock ’n’ roller nor a hero.

The song’s embrace of a natural, unpretentious self conveys a sense of reassurance and warmth.

Enhancing the commercial’s strong atmosphere is Keisuke Kuwata’s song “Soul Cobra Twist ~ Tamashii no Monzetsu.” Its powerful, vibrant sound—evoking soul and Japanese kayōkyoku—creates a bright mood that conveys a sense of hope.

It’s a track that delivers not only fun, but also a powerful sense of forging ahead into the future.
