RunningNEW!Sarah Brightman
This commercial highlights that VIERA was selected as the official high-definition television for the Beijing Olympics, conveying the passion for continuous evolution behind that choice.
Just as Olympic athletes strive for greater heights, VIERA also pursued the ideal television, powerfully asserting this by interweaving the message with footage of athletic events.
Further amplifying the grandeur of the visuals is Sarah Brightman’s song “Running.” Her powerfully resonant voice is a major draw, and its beauty evokes a sense of hope for the future.
Shout to the TopThe Style Council
The Style Council is a pop rock band from the UK.
Mixing genres that became popular in the 1980s—such as pop rock, blue-eyed soul, and new wave—their original sound earned them popularity, especially in English-speaking countries.
Their hit song “Shout to the Top” gained attention for its soulful melody that evokes the feel of late-1970s funk music.
In 2002, it was also used in Subaru’s commercial “Impression.”
AmarantineNEW!Enya
This commercial focuses on the fact that VIERA is an IPS LCD TV, conveying—through narration by Koyuki—how its picture looks different from before.
It especially emphasizes the view from an angle, highlighting that images which used to feel off now appear beautiful.
Enhancing this sense of a grand, near-futuristic atmosphere is Enya’s “Amarantine.” The gentle rhythm marked by strings and the crystalline vocals are striking, and even as the piece unfolds softly, it conveys a moving sense of emotion.
SweetnessJimmy Eat World
Jimmy Eat World has gained popularity as an emblematic emo band.
Formed in 1993, they’ve remained one of the genre’s most representative groups from the ’90s to today.
They were already popular during their indie days, but the song “Sweetness” was what really propelled them to wider fame.
Used in Asahi Super Dry’s commercial in 2008, the track drew attention for its emotionally charged melodies, a hallmark of emo.
Stayin’ AliveBee Gees
The Bee Gees, a group that gained popularity for their musical style blending adult contemporary, soft rock, baroque pop, and psychedelic pop.
They’re a British group who debuted in Australia and made their name in the United States—quite a complicated background, haha.
This song, used in a 2008 commercial for Honda’s Odyssey minivan, gained popularity with its funky sound and became an international hit.
Jerk It OutCaesars
Caesars is a rock band that has gained popularity for a sound rooted in alternative rock and garage rock.
Hailing from Sweden, the band was originally called Caesars Palace, but since there was a casino with the same name in the United States, they changed their name to Caesars for their U.
S.
debut.
The song that sparked their breakthrough is Jerk It Out, which gained international popularity after being used in an iPod commercial.

You’re BeautifulJames Blunt
James Blunt is a singer-songwriter from England with the unusual background of being a former soldier.
His song “You’re Beautiful” is his biggest hit and was used in commercials for Toyota and the shampoo brand TSUBAKI.
Although it’s a very well-known song, it actually received very low acclaim overseas; because it became too much of a hit, people ended up disliking it.
In a UK poll of the most annoying things, it even took first place (lol).
It’s a rather sad reason—being too successful.
