Meiji Boda galbo Mika Nakashima

“Yuki no Hana,” one of Mika Nakashima’s signature winter songs.

The track was featured in Meiji’s commercials for the snacks “boda” and “galbo,” in which Nakashima herself appeared.

The memorable, cute, and funny ads show a couple on a Ferris wheel about to kiss, while the personified “boda” and “galbo” look on, sipping chocolate with little slurps.

The song is a love ballad full of the wish to stay together forever, warming each other through the winter cold.

Beloved and covered not only by Japanese artists like Hideaki Tokunaga, but also by artists overseas.

Shirogane – Eve MV

Minami Hamabe and Kenshi Okada co-star in the JR Ski commercial! Song by Eve, “Shirogane.” New JR SKISKI CM.

As promotion for its ski trip campaign, JR East rolls out its classic winter commercial series, “JR SKI SKI.” The CM song for the 2019 edition is “Shirogane” by Eve, an artist active mainly online, including as a vocalist on Nico Nico Douga.

The commercial features Minami Hamabe and Kenshi Okada.

With its title “Shirogane” (Silver Snow) and a refreshing melody that conjures images of skiers and snowboarders racing down the slopes, the song is a perfect fit for the CM.

It’s a track that makes you long for a passionate romance hot enough to melt the pure white snow on the slopes.

HappinessEito

Happiness

Eito covers the AI song “Happiness,” chosen as the Coca-Cola winter campaign commercial track.

When it comes to Coca-Cola commercials aired during the winter season, AI’s “Happiness” is the classic go-to song! However, in 2020, a cover version by singer-songwriter Eito was featured.

Speaking of Eito, his hit song “Perfume” became a massive success in 2020, propelling him into the spotlight.

The original “Happiness” has a sparkling, bright, wintry feel, but Eito’s rendition is arranged with a calmer mood, perfectly highlighting his warm and gentle vocals.

It’s a great recommendation when you’re in the mood for a more relaxed winter song!

Gift of the Holy NightMotohiro Hata

Motohiro Hata / A Gift on the Holy Night (Short Ver.) [House “Hokkaido Stew” TV Commercial Song]

It’s a song included on Motohiro Hata’s fifth album, “Ao no Kōkei” (Scenes of Blue), released in 2015.

Used as the theme for House’s “Hokkaido Stew” commercial, it features a gentle, soothing melody that makes you crave warm stew at home on a cold winter day.

Shepherds, keeping their flocksKaoruko Takahashi

Hymn No. 103: “The Shepherds Watching Their Sheep”

The song that played in Yamazaki’s Christmas cake commercial “Kindness and Brightness,” featuring Takako Matsu, is the hymn “Makibito Hitsuji o.” In English it’s known as “The First Noel,” a carol perfectly suited to the Christmas season.

The vocals are performed by Kaoruko Takahashi, one of Japan’s leading opera singers.

Its sacred resonance—singing of Luke chapter 2 in the New Testament, where an angel of God appears from the sky as shepherds watch over their flocks—seems to cleanse the heart.

On Christmas Day, a time for wishing happiness, be sure to listen closely.
