Are You Gonna Go My WayLenny Kravitz
This commercial features Masaki Suda portraying people on-site while highlighting that Wilkinson has been a long-loved favorite even among professionals.
By clearly depicting the reasons it has been used for so long, the ad conveys the brand’s commitment and confidence.
The track that further accentuates this timeless confidence is Lenny Kravitz’s “Are You Gonna Go My Way.” The opening guitar riff is striking, and its sharp tone powerfully carries the energy across.
Fear for NobodyMåneskin
This commercial straightforwardly showcases the powerful performance of Honda’s ZR-V SUV through driving footage and narration.
Because the car is mostly shown driving under overcast skies, its stylish looks and cool character come through all the more clearly.
The song used is Måneskin’s “Fear for Nobody,” and its light rhythm and sound also convey the desire for the ZR-V to bring a cool touch to everyday life.
Why Can’t We Be FriendsWar
The Kirin Beer commercial, Spring Valley, Beer Color version.
In this one, Takayuki Yamada talks about the product’s appeal, and in the background the funk band War’s “Why Can’t We Be Friends?” is playing.
It’s a piece of soul music built around the title phrase, expressing a desire to become friends.
In the lyrics, wine appears as an item for bringing people together, so you could interpret that as a play on the product as well.
I Don’t Mind the ColdORKAS
After showing Nana Eikura and Yuki Yamada opening a ReFa gift box, this commercial goes on to showcase a series of ReFa products.
Released ahead of the 2025 holiday season, the spot is structured much like a commercial for a luxury overseas cosmetics brand.
It’s the kind of ad that makes you think, “Maybe I’ll consider ReFa as a Christmas gift.” The background music is the 2020 release “I Don’t Mind the Cold,” a Christmas song with a relaxed tempo and distinctive sleigh-bell sounds, expressing feelings for a loved one.
Tomorrow’s Ours feat. Matthew Heath & Grady GriggsLights Follow
“Tomorrow’s Ours” was featured in Sony Life’s product commercial “Soba ni” starting in October 2022.
It’s a track by the band Lights Follow that gives off a refined, UK rock vibe.
The flowing, friendly melody feels so good it makes your body sway naturally.
With “our tomorrow” as its theme, the encouraging lyrics really resonate—an uplifting anthem.
As you listen, your heart starts to race! It fills you with energy, like “unquenchable passion” and “hope for the future,” and it feels like it’ll support you as you start a new chapter in life.
GuerrillaRemi Wolf
That melody that makes your heart leap when you hear it in the commercial.
Remi Wolf’s “Guerrilla,” though a Western pop song, has crossed borders, lingering in people’s ears and winning global love.
The iPhone commercial featuring this track not only drives buzz but also highlights the song’s unique character.
Its unadorned sound and experimental beats have a compelling pull on viewers, showcasing a moment where Remi Wolf’s talent truly shines.
Her vocals feel both familiar and refreshingly new, adding a stroke of wonder to today’s pop scene.
Paired with the commercial, the impact “Guerrilla” has on audiences is substantial.
Bad Reputation (Joan Jett & The Blackhearts Cover)Poppy Ajudha
The song featured in the “Jack Daniel’s | MAKE IT COUNT” commercial is “Bad Reputation (Joan Jett & The Blackhearts Cover).” The upbeat sound matched perfectly with the footage of people having fun, didn’t it? Some of you might have thought, “I’ve heard this before,” while watching.
That’s because the original is a classic by Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, and it’s also known as the theme song for a Japanese anime.
