I’ll save youfayray
It was released in 2001 as Fayray’s eighth single.
The lyrics and music were written by Fayray, and it was used in a Kanebo “KATE” commercial.
The lyrics express a warm, maternal love that envelops you, and the song’s clear, translucent vocals are soothing.
GAMENakajima Mika
“GAME,” which played in the commercial “STOLEN JEWEL” where Mika Nakashima herself portrayed a phantom thief.
It’s included on her 2010 album “STAR.” A pop track with an addictive rhythm.
It starts with a striking guitar intro, and the vocals powerfully express the song’s world of bewitching, assertive lyrics—so cool! It even feels like it would suit a nighttime walk.
I can’t help but feel that part of the lyrics echoes KATE’s brand concept, “NO MORE RULES.”
Memory(feat.DAISHI DANCE)Nakajima Mika
The CM song “Memory” for reflect mirror, featuring Mika Nakashima herself, is a house track produced by DAISHI DANCE, a musician known for melodic compositions.
It appears as the B-side of the single “Nagareboshi” and on DAISHI DANCE’s third album, “Spectacle.” The graceful, wistful melody blends beautifully with Nakashima’s crystal-clear vocals.
Among her star-themed songs, this one has a more upbeat feel, making it perfect for traveling or as a companion on a drive.

Sexual Violet No. 1Kuwana Masahiro
Masahiro Kuwana’s “Sexual Violet No.
1” was released in 1979 and is one of his signature songs.
The lyrics have a sexy vibe, seemingly singing about a man–woman relationship, and combined with the guitar-driven, powerful sound, they convey a unique, forceful image.
One reason the song became a hit was its use in a Kanebo commercial, which is said to have boosted Kuwana’s popularity.
The structure, with the title repeated in the chorus, leaves the song name firmly imprinted in your mind.

Sena Nakajima appears against a predominantly red backdrop, and there’s a scene of her applying the lipstick.
The narration adds that it creates more natural, vibrant-looking lips, resulting in a sophisticated commercial that effectively conveys the product’s appeal.
