As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

Don Quixote: “Donki, here we go.”

Original songBruno Mars

[4K] Bruno Mars Appears in a Japanese TV Commercial | Don Quijote - Bruno Mars “Donki, Here We Go” 30-second Version #DonkiHereWeGo

Original songBruno Mars

Many people were probably very surprised to see Bruno Mars appear in a Don Quijote commercial—and even sing an original song for it.

In the “Donki, Ikuyo” version, Bruno Mars shows up wearing a sukajan jacket emblazoned with a tiger, a hawk, and the word “Japan,” and he breaks into a dance.

The footage looks as cool as one of his music videos, and I bet plenty of people haven’t been able to get the song out of their heads since hearing it in the ad.

[Western Music] CM songs I've been hearing a lot lately [2026] (81–90)

Suntory Draft Beer “Nama-Nama House” Version

Koi no Ma-ia-hiiO-Zone

O-Zone – Dragostea Din Tei [Official Video]

Koi no Ma-ia-hiiO-Zone

In Suntory Draft Beer’s “Namama Family” commercial, there’s a scene where Kento Yamazaki is shopping while singing an original parody song and runs into Mone Kamishiraishi.

The way Yamazaki gets embarrassed when she catches him singing leaves a strong impression.

In this commercial, he’s singing O-Zone’s signature track “Dragostea Din Tei,” which became a huge hit in Japan around 2004 under the title “Koi no Maiahi.” It became a topic of conversation because the Romanian lyrics sounded like Japanese to many listeners, starting with the famous “Numa Numa Yay.”

I Should Be So LuckyKYLIE MINOGUE

This commercial, which opens with Mikako Tabe repeatedly turning a capsule toy machine while holding a 500-yen coin, introduces McDonald’s 500-yen set menu.

After failing to get the character she wants no matter how many times she tries and finding herself down to her last 500-yen coin, she suddenly remembers the McDonald’s Set 500, stops playing the gacha, and heads to McDonald’s.

Her blissful expression as she bites into a hamburger is striking—it really makes you want to go to McDonald’s! The background music is a cover of Kylie Minogue’s signature song “I Should Be So Lucky.” Its bright, catchy melody is instantly familiar and lifts your spirits as you listen.

The 2024 Toyota Harrier SUV commercial, “Forging the Future.” Accompanied by footage of the car driving on through a clouded, uncertain path, a voiceover says, “If you keep believing and keep driving, something new awaits at the end.” Just as the narration finishes, the car bursts out of the clouds—a meticulously crafted touch that makes the spot so compelling.
