C’mon Lets GoGirlschool

A hard rock band from London, England, formed in the 1980s.
They are still active today and boast a career spanning over 30 years.
Part of the NWOBHM lineage alongside bands like Judas Priest and Iron Maiden, their live performances are overwhelmingly powerful.
Virtual InsanityJamiroquai

The commercial song for Nissin’s “Cup Noodles.” The music video, featuring Jamiroquai’s vocalist Jay Kay dancing as if playing around with a moving floor, is used in the commercial as-is.
The song in the commercial is a parody version, and it has not been disclosed whether it is sung by him.
SweetnessJimmy Eat World

Formed in 1993, they are a four-piece rock band from the United States.
This song was featured in a beer commercial in Japan in 2008, so many people may know it.
In 2001, their fourth album, Bleed American—released without signing to any label—became a huge hit and went platinum.
They are considered one of the most successful emo bands.
Take MeKorn

If I may put it this way, I’d like to express it like this: they’re an incredibly sexy band that even men would fall for—not with that crushed sound you often hear in Western rock, but with every note clearly audible.
They present the sound beautifully while still delivering intensity—a band full of irresistible appeal.
My GenerationLimp Bizkit

In a word, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call them an incredibly cool crossover band.
The songs they create are crafted with great care, the vocalist’s high-pitched voice never gets buried in the intense sound, and every instrument is performed by top-tier musicians.

Centered on the theme of death, the track became a massive worldwide hit and reached No.
1 on the US charts.
In 2007, they held their third Japan tour.
HappyPharrell Williams

The desire to cheer someone on is a feeling filled with wonderful kindness, almost like compassion.
And the more you think about the other person, the more a slightly lighter song might be better.
At such times, how about the classic “Happy”?
