Experienced with a variety of instruments: marching band in elementary school, clarinet in junior high school wind ensemble, and drums in a band from high school onward. Drawing on my own musical activities and the experience gained through my work, I produce daily articles, including various song introductions, features on music festivals around the country, and live reports. In music, I enjoy not only rock from Japan and abroad but, lately, a wide range of J-pop as well.

Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. 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.

The rule that a song becomes popular after being featured in a commercial hasn’t changed, past or present.

When a song is used in a well-received commercial and goes viral along with it—that’s a classic winning pattern.

With foreign songs, it can be hard to figure out the track when you don’t understand the lyrics—but we generally include both the actual commercial footage and the song’s music video, so it should be easy to check.

The GameJurassic 5

This commercial promotes the comprehensive services available to Amazon Prime members—access to buzzworthy content and quick delivery.

It features people enjoying a basketball game, then recreating the sport using a newly delivered trash can, expressing both the speed of delivery and the richness of content.

The playful absorption in the game gives it a comedic vibe, which is a key point.

The music that further highlights the fun of the visuals is Jurassic 5’s “The Game.” A laid-back beat combined with light, agile rapping conveys a relaxed atmosphere.

Kirin Beer Honshibori Chu-Hi: “Nothing added, the natural taste of fruit” version

End of the BeginningFabien Tell

End of the Beginning

End of the BeginningFabien Tell

The piece “End of the Beginning” used in Kirin Beer’s Honshibori Chuhai “Nothing added, the natural taste of fruit” commercial is a work by Fabian Tell.

While he is a relatively minor composer globally, his approach to music is highly experimental, and in this piece as well, he weaves together major and minor modes to create a style reminiscent of contemporary music.

The violin leaves a particularly strong impression, so I imagine many listeners still have it stuck in their heads.

Spicks and SpecksBee Gees

BEE GEES – Spicks & Specks – Official video clip

Spicks and SpecksBee Gees

The Bee Gees are a male vocal group from the Isle of Man, a British Crown dependency, who began their career in 1955.

Their music spans a wide range of genres—pop, disco, soft rock, baroque pop, and psychedelic pop—and is loved around the world.

This work is the title track from their 1966 album “Spicks and Specks,” written and composed by Barry Gibb.

The lyrics, which delicately portray loneliness, a sense of loss, and yearning for what has been lost, are particularly striking.

The absence of the sun and light symbolizes a lack of joy and happiness, while feelings of regret toward friends and lovers from the past are skillfully woven in.

More recently, the song gained attention after being featured in the commercial “Korekara no Okane no Hanashi o Shiyō: Omnibus-hen.” With its moving lyrics and nostalgic melody, it’s a classic that can be strongly recommended to a wide audience who have experienced life’s ups and downs.

Trustfall

TrustfallRepository & Juliette Jones

The track “Trustfall,” used in Apple’s “iPhone 13 Pro — Hollywood in your pocket,” was created by composer Repository and violinist Juliet Jones.

It blends synthesizers and violin into a powerful melody.

The intense ensemble of synth and violin toward the end, in particular, exudes a striking character that evokes the techno scene of the 1980s.

Why not lose yourself in this unique expression where classical and electronic music intertwine?
