[Western Music] CM Songs I’ve Been Hearing a Lot Lately [2026] (1–10)
Cartoon HeroesNEW!AQUA
This is a series of commercials celebrating Lager Zero surpassing 20 million bottles shipped and showcasing its great taste.
Each spot impressively focuses on different elements—the retail display, the beer itself, the logo, and the people drinking it.
By deliberately narrowing the elements, the result is a stylish, impactful commercial.
The BGM features Aqua’s 2000 release “Cartoon Heroes,” a comfortable, melodious track woven with vibrant vocals.
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.
Dragostea Din TeiNEW!O-Zone
This is the commercial that became a hot topic because Rihō Yoshioka reprised her role as the familiar “Don-Gitsune” from the Donbei ads for the first time in four years.
It introduces how different broths are used in eastern and western Japan, and Yoshioka taking a sip and letting out a relieved breath leaves a strong impression.
The BGM features a parody song with the catchy repeated lyrics “delicious broth,” and the original track is “Dragostea Din Tei” by O-Zone from Moldova.
Released in 2003, the song became a huge hit in Japan in 2004 and drew attention for its lyrics that, for some reason, sounded like Japanese.
Y.M.C.A.NEW!Village People
In a lovely study bathed in sunlight, Bakarhythm is doing desk work.
While sitting in his chair and quietly continuing his tasks, he takes a hearty swig of Healthia.
With a sound effect, music begins to play and the tagline “Believe it or not, I’m burning fat right now” appears.
It clearly promotes the idea that drinking it helps reduce visceral fat.
The background music is an instrumental cover of Village People’s “Y.M.C.A.” In Japan, the version famously covered by Hideki Saijo in 1979 is well known.
So CoolNEW!lunaluxe
In this commercial announcing the arrival of the Google Pixel 10a, the design of the Pixel 10a is showcased in sync with the music.
In particular, the sleek, minimalist look of the sides and back is frequently shown, and the striking color variations are also highlighted.
The song playing in this commercial is “So Cool” by lunaluxe.
It’s dance music characterized by a futuristic track that’s sure to captivate you with its unique world.
BurnDeep Purple
This commercial showcases the powerful sense of speed in boat racing using real footage, while also promoting the Speed Queen Memorial.
A key point is that it features not only the athletes piloting the boats but also the spectators, which makes the excitement of the moment feel even more vivid.
The music that further amplifies the sport’s dynamic power is Burn, one of Deep Purple’s signature songs.
Its sound is both heavy and fast, leaving a strong impression and clearly conveying the forceful momentum of racing full-throttle.
I Got You ( I Feel Good )James Brown
This is a commercial introducing the deliciousness of The Peel, a lemon sour made with lemon peel.
Yo Oizumi passionately explains how the slightly bitter flavor from the lemon peel creates a mature, grown-up taste.
It’s true that sours highlighting juice are common, but ones that spotlight the peel are rare—so you can’t help but wonder what it tastes like! The BGM is James Brown’s “I Got You (I Feel Good).” Released in 1964, the song features irresistibly funky vocals.
