Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

I Always Make The Same WishChris Williams

Mainichi Shimbun commercial: Non and Mainichi Shimbun — Living Lightly, 30-second version

This is a commercial by Mainichi Shimbun in which Non talks about “being yourself.” Rather than embracing labels like “masculinity” or “femininity” imposed by others, it conveys Mainichi Shimbun’s wish for people to value their own individuality.

The footage of Non dashing lightly around while changing into various outfits also expresses the concept of the commercial well.

The background music is Chris Williams’s “I Always Make The Same Wish,” whose gentle vocals and soothing melody are especially appealing.

Same Ol'The Heavy

Pepsi Momotaro commercial full episodes

Many of you probably remember the commercial series aired from 2014 to 2017 in which Shun Oguri played Momotaro, as it became a major talking point at the time.

With visuals and direction that looked straight out of a Hollywood film, it was so stylish that you might not even have realized it was a Pepsi ad.

The BGM used in the commercial is Same Ol’ by the British rock band The Heavy.

Its powerful, heavy guitar riff leaves a strong impression—just hearing the intro can knock you out.

The “Ol’” in the title is an abbreviation of “Old,” so “Same Old” conveys the idea of repeating the same things.

The lyrics wryly depict unchanging, monotonous days, making it a track that can give you a push when you’re dissatisfied with the status quo or want to take on a challenge.
