Naked Heart, the massive hit song sung by Aimyon.

It’s featured in Suntory BOSS’s commercial “Alien Jones: The Usual Vending Machine.” In it, Koji Yakusho plays a human who is saddened when his beloved vending machine is removed.

It’s interesting how the ad pairs a rather surreal story with a moving ballad.

As for the song itself, it’s a ballad about unrequited love, so I hope you’ll take your time and listen to it.

Its heartrending lyrics will tighten your chest.

When I hear BOSS, I think of canned coffee, but this one’s a tea commercial.

Since it’s tea, they use the phrase “Tea-ss” as a kind of pun.

Takako Matsu and Hana Sugisaki appear in it, and Tommy Lee Jones—the alien familiar from BOSS canned coffee—also makes a brief appearance.

At the very end, Ringo Sheena, who sings the CM’s background song “Jinsei wa Yume Darake,” shows up for a moment as well.

SUNTORY CRAFT BOSS Unsweetened Italiano ITALIANO Commercial “Alien Jones: Gondola” 30-second version Tommy Lee Jones

This is a Suntory Craft Boss commercial that looks like an alien named Jones, who has come to survey Earth, is reporting on human behavior.

Since it’s a spot for Craft Boss’s “Not-Too-Sweet Italiano,” the story unfolds as if it’s about Earthlings in Italy.

With a wry, ironic tone, it describes how the fantastical terrain of interlacing waterways can make visitors feel like movie characters.

Another highlight is the use of Henry Mancini’s ‘Love Theme from Sunflower,’ famous from film music, as the BGM.

Framing it with a movie theme song set in Italy, and showing people acting like locals to the music, creates a playful, immersive world.

This commercial aired starting in September 2015 and, in addition to the familiar Tommy Lee Jones, features Mitsu Mangrove and Kazuo Tokumitsu.

It’s structured as if Mitsu Mangrove is looking back on her life, with Naomi Chiaki’s “Kassai” used as the background music.

Combined with the BGM, it turns into a tear-jerking commercial.

In addition to the familiar Tommy Lee Jones and Koji Yakusho, comedian Yasuko also appears in the commercial for Suntory’s bottled coffee, Craft Boss.

The ad features a stakeout-themed story with a humorous twist: the person they thought was the suspect turns out to be Yasuko.

It effectively conveys that Craft Boss is the perfect partner for work.

The background music is Pink Lady’s 1976 hit Pepper Keibu.

There’s something irresistibly romantic about choosing a Showa-era idol song in the Reiwa era.

The Suntory BOSS commercial depicting Alien Jones observing human behavior focuses this time on Koji Yakusho’s search for his true calling.

Inspired by how Craft BOSS is the perfect companion for outings, the ad conveys the courage to venture into unknown worlds.

Another highlight is the use of Crystal King’s “Daitokai (The Metropolis),” whose gradually building and releasing progression underscores Yakusho’s sense of having found his vocation and looking to the future with newfound clarity.
