telepathyORANGE RANGE
A song by Macaroni Enpitsu was used in a McDonald’s commercial that aired in 2019.
It’s a youth-themed track that perfectly matches the ad depicting students after school.
As the title suggests, it carries the message: “Youth passes in an instant, so enjoy those precious moments to the fullest!” Reading the lyrics—which will resonate not only with students in the midst of their youth but also with adults—will surely make you want to meet your dear friends right away.
EZ DO DANCETRF
This is the SHISEIDO SEA BREEZE commercial, the “EZ DO DANCE” version.
TRF’s massive hit was used as the CM song, and the members themselves also appear.
Their sun-kissed skin and toned bodies give off a healthy, summery vibe.
The scene where the members emerge from the bubbles is especially striking.
LOVE LETTERNoriyuki Makihara
Do you know the hidden gem by Noriyuki Makihara that portrays a faint, letter-bound first love? Centered around an undelivered love letter, it delicately captures the emotions of a protagonist seeing off someone dear who is leaving for a distant job.
The imagery—twilight at the station and scenes along the tracks—feels so vivid it tightens the listener’s chest with a poignant ache.
The song was included on the album UNDERWEAR, released in October 1996, and was later used as the theme for NTT East’s corporate commercial “Mother,” featuring Yui Aragaki.
This piece rekindles the unspoken kindness we couldn’t put into words and the bittersweet memories of youth.
It’s a song to savor, especially for those who’ve experienced a springtime parting or who carry unspoken feelings in their hearts.
The Maiden with Flaxen HairHitomi Shimatani
Hitomi Shimatani appeared in a 2002 commercial for Kao Essential Damage Care, where she performed an a cappella rendition of “Amairo no Kami no Otome.” The song originally came out in 1968 by the Village Singers, and Shimatani’s cover version was released in 2002.
This commercial sparked her breakthrough, and the song has remained beloved as one of her signature tracks across generations.
The original version she sings is an up-tempo track with a memorable, danceable beat, making it a song that fully showcases her refreshing vocals.
I'll be by your side.Thelma Aoyama ft. SoulJa
Soba ni Iru ne, Aoyama Thelma’s signature song released in 2008, was created as an answer song to SoulJa’s track Koko ni Iru yo and became a massive hit thanks to its relatable lyrics.
Many people may also remember that the song was featured in a NTT Docomo commercial at the time.
The CM portrayed the feelings of a female student about to enter high school, and those who were going through the same transition likely resonated strongly with it.
Fourteen years later, in 2022, Aoyama Thelma was once again featured in a Docomo commercial celebrating the company’s 30th anniversary, which also drew attention.
DreamlandBENNIE K
When you hear this song, do you find yourself thinking, “Oh! The Coca-Cola commercial!”? This track was written as a campaign song for Coca-Cola with the tagline “Coca-Cola for the moments we connect,” and it’s BENNIE K’s ninth single, released in 2005.
The song, which became a hot topic thanks to the commercial and was later released on CD, blends English and Japanese, has a great upbeat, cheerful tempo, and really gets your energy up.

I can see you againKetsumeishi
This is a Shiseido Anessa sunscreen commercial that aired in 2007.
It shows five women in swimsuits running along the beach, but if you look closely, all of them are Yuri Ebihara! The memorable twist is that Ebihara appears to have duplicated herself.
The background music was by RIP SLYME, who were at the height of their popularity at the time.
The song, titled “Mata Kimi ni Aeru” (I’ll See You Again), was written specifically for this commercial.
