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.

The rule that a song becomes popular after being featured in a commercial hasn’t changed, past or present.

When a song is used in a well-received commercial and goes viral along with it—that’s a classic winning pattern.

For those who want to quickly check out these talked-about CM tracks, this article introduces Western songs featured in buzzworthy commercials!

With foreign songs, it can be hard to figure out the track when you don’t understand the lyrics—but we generally include both the actual commercial footage and the song’s music video, so it should be easy to check.

Apple M4 MacBook Pro: “The Most Powerful Pro Ever”

You Gotta BeDes’ree

Des’ree – You Gotta Be (Official Video)

You Gotta BeDes'ree

This piece, depicting a man taking on a weightlifting challenge, is the commercial for the MacBook Pro equipped with the M4 chip, titled “The Most Powerful Pro Ever.” After raising the barbell overhead, he starts spinning it like Sun Wukong from Journey to the West and proceeds to perform acrobatics.

It’s a scene that wouldn’t normally be possible, but it serves to emphasize how powerful the machine’s processing has become.

The background music is the fresh, uplifting “You Gotta Be,” one of British soul singer Des’ree’s signature songs and a hit from 1994.

T&D Insurance Group Commercial, 'T&D Song' Version – 30 Seconds

The T&D Insurance Group commercial “T&D Song,” which strikingly portrays people working hard at clubs and at their jobs, uses the song “ABC” by the Jackson 5, the sibling group Michael Jackson belonged to.

While it’s a cover rather than the original, compared to the original’s cute melody, this version has a slightly more formal feel.

If this is your first time hearing the song, be sure to check out the original as well.

Why Can't We Be FriendsWar

The Kirin Beer commercial, Spring Valley, Beer Color version.

In this one, Takayuki Yamada talks about the product’s appeal, and in the background the funk band War’s “Why Can’t We Be Friends?” is playing.

It’s a piece of soul music built around the title phrase, expressing a desire to become friends.

In the lyrics, wine appears as an item for bringing people together, so you could interpret that as a play on the product as well.
