Life is full of ups and downs.Chiyoko Shimakura
Among the Gatsby commercials that aired during the Heisei era, many people probably remember the ones featuring Masahiro Motoki.
This particular spot made an especially strong impact and is often cited as a classic.
Motoki appears with a flamboyant mohawk worthy of a ’90s visual-kei band, and the gimmick where his mohawk flutters open and closed in time with Chiyoko Shimakura’s “Jinsei Iroiro” still feels remarkably fresh even today.

In the au commercial for Chaku-Uta Full featuring Satoshi Tsumabuki, ORANGE RANGE’s “Ishin Denshin” was used.
The commercial aired around 2005, and the song was included on the 2004 album “musiQ.” At the time, services that let you listen to music on your cell phone felt new, and many people probably remember the au ads that used ORANGE RANGE’s music in particular.
The lyrics, which sing about being connected even when apart, evoke a sense of closeness with someone important.

In the Zespri commercial that aired in 2006, the featured performers were Kenji Sakaguchi and Yuri Ebihara.
The BGM was Ayumi Hamasaki’s “BLUE BIRD,” making it a commercial that truly encapsulated the 2000s.
It’s a CM packed with the atmosphere of that time, and watching it now brings back a strong sense of nostalgia.
SummerJoe Hisaishi
Joe Hisaishi’s “Summer” was released in 1999 and composed as the main theme for the film “Kikujiro,” directed by Takeshi Kitano.

The structure—where phrases are repeated across various instrumental tones—is striking, and its playful spirit conveys a sense of joy.
As a commercial song, it has been used for Kirin Beverage’s functional drinks and corporate ads, with visuals expressing the desire to support everyone’s smiles.

A J-POP number that portrays the budding feelings of love that come with the arrival of spring, brimming with dazzling freshness.
Written specifically for Kirin Beer’s “Hyoketsu” commercial, the song was released in April 2013 and reached No.
1 on the Billboard JAPAN HOT 100 weekly chart.
It captures the excitement and flutter brought by a new season with a crisp sound that blends a lively rhythm, strings, and synths.
The melody is designed to open up your field of vision from the very start of the chorus, with Naoto Inti Raymi himself writing and composing the song, and Shingo Kubota (Jazzin’park) handling the arrangement.
The lyrics, which balance wistfulness and warmth, are truly moving.
Included on the album “Nice catch the moment !” and certified double platinum for downloads, this hopeful track is one you’ll want to hear if your heart is dancing at the prospect of new encounters.

It’s a track that conveys fun while maintaining a cool, stylish image.

Rex, notable for its straightforward rock sound that conveys not only power but also a sense of fun.
