JR East’s winter staple commercial series “JR SKISKI,” broadcast as part of their ski trip campaign.

The song featured in the 2013–2014 commercials is “Snow Magic Fantasy” by SEKAI NO OWARI.

The CM stars Haruna Kawaguchi and Shuntaro Yanagi.

The sparkling melody, which seems to capture that pure excitement you feel when it starts to snow, is especially memorable! To highlight the pop melody, they processed classical instruments, resulting in a grand, majestic arrangement.

Just like their earlier release “RPG,” it creates a fun atmosphere that makes you feel like you’re inside an amusement park or a toy box!

Hiyori Sakurada, alone with her ex-boyfriend on a snowy mountain... CM song by iri. JR SKISKI new commercial: 'Yuki yo, oshite kure.' (Snow, please give me a push.)

JR SKISKI’s classic winter commercial features Hiyori Sakurada for the 2023–2024 season.

She goes snowboarding with friends, but among them is her ex-boyfriend, and although things are a bit awkward, there’s a calm atmosphere between the two.

Three versions of the ad were produced, and viewers can’t help but feel a flutter of excitement wondering whether they’ll get back together or not.

JR SKISKI commercials are also known for their music, and this time the song is iri’s “hug.” It’s a piece about cherished memories from the past, arranged as a ballad that highlights iri’s rich, warm vocals.

The track pairs perfectly with the story and the snow-swept slopes featured in the commercial.

When you wish upon a star

This is the Afternoon Tea commercial “Snowman’s Dream,” featuring Ren Meguro in the role of a snowman.

When a girl hands the snowman a warm milk tea, he tastes it—confused by the new experience at first—and then relaxes with a relieved expression.

The heartwarming CM uses “When You Wish Upon a Star,” known in Japanese as “Hoshi ni Negai wo.” A mellow, gentle arrangement plays that suits a quiet winter night, creating a soothing feeling as you listen.

Meiji Meltykiss “Isn’t it Happiness” Version

Winter kissAragaki Yui

When it comes to winter commercial songs, many people probably think of the Meltykiss commercials.

Meltykiss is a winter-only chocolate sold by Meiji, a classic product that’s hugely popular every year.

It has been on the market since 1992, and while various winter songs were tied in at first, since 2011 the commercials have featured an original song called “Fuyu no kiss” sung by Yui Aragaki.

It’s a simple, unpretentious tune, yet a charming song that evokes the beautiful atmosphere of winter.

McDonald’s McCafé “McDonald’s Strawberry Frappe” Version

Jingle Bells

From the McCafé Frappe commercial series featuring Suzu Hirose and Tomohisa Yamashita, this is the “McDonald’s Strawberry Frappe” edition.

Set in a city awash with Christmas colors, the contrast is amusing: Hirose helps a Santa who’s gotten stuck in a chimney, while Yamashita casually enjoys his frappe.

The BGM is an original parody of “Jingle Bells,” and the casually phrased lyrics—like “I wanna drink McDonald’s strawberry frappe right now”—leave a strong impression, giving the spot an extra poppy feel.

CHANEL is a celebration — CHANEL Watches and Fine Jewelry

“CHANEL is a celebration” features three women wearing CHANEL watches and jewelry.

This commercial aired during the 2024 holiday season and includes a snowfall-like effect.

The Christmas-themed CM uses Darlene Love’s 1992 release “All Alone on Christmas.” Also featured in the film Home Alone 2, the song captivates with its sparkling, quintessentially Christmas sound and Darlene Love’s powerful vocals.

KFC Party Barrel: 'Always Together' Version

Wonderful HolidayTakeuchi Mariya

Kento Kaku dresses as Colonel Sanders and says “Merry Christmas!” Salome Hyakumantenbara also appears in KFC’s new TV commercial.

Many people probably think, “Ah, Christmas is just around the corner,” when they see this commercial.

Since 2000, the song used in KFC’s Christmas commercials has been Mariya Takeuchi’s “Suteki na Holiday.” Created as a tie-in with KFC, it was written with the image of a warm, at-home Christmas spent with family.

That feeling comes through even in the visuals, and each year the warm imagery and music bring a cozy feeling to many people’s hearts.

Christmas comes to everyone every year, bringing the gift of happiness.

You could say that heartwarming message is a Christmas present in itself!
