Kirby and the Forgotten Land has been bringing colour and joy for over a week now, rewarded with positive word of mouth and impressive sales; it's reportedly had the best ever launch for the IP in Japan. The praise has been widespread, and plenty of us have been happily enjoying all things Kirby since its launch.
A recent addition is a rather cool collaboration in Japan with Suntory's Craft Boss Coffee brand. A promotional website has been setup, along with some awesome concept art showcasing four different music genres.
Truly on another level, though, are videos for each theme. They all remix the iconic Kirby theme in unique ways, with some fun animations - check them out below.
They're all good, but it has to be Rock Kirby for us.
So, if you're in Japan be sure to go out and get yourself a Craft Boss K(C)offee.

Kirb selling coffee.. lol
Two of my favourite things. Coffee and Kirby. Great!
It would resonate more if they put him on the label.
Isn't that simply a Coffe brand using Kirby to do their advertisement ? It doesn't seem that it's a Kirby Coffe on its own, he is not even on the can. Like Vegeta did some adds for Ramen back in 2018, it was all over the subway's screens
These are very nice tunes, and the end of each video suggests there may be full versions to listen to on Spotify?
Kirby does have his own cafe in Tokyo, so this isn’t so left field
Looks like you buy the coffee and scan a QR code on the bottle to listen to the songs on Spotify. Also, there are cool PC wallpapers on the collab site, near the bottom: https://www.suntory.co.jp/softdrink/craftboss/kirby/
Kirby must have sucked up Tommy Lee Jones to get this gig.
Is it served at Kirby Cafe?
Kirby + coffee is the best combo
Ok, why is Kirby playing the Sax with his nose in the first video?
I do like his mustache

@Bunkerneath I think you might be getting his bowtie confused with a moustache?
That saxophone goes hard!
Japan LOVES Kirby. I should think him getting his own land at Super Nintendo World is guaranteed (after they complete the DK expansion).
Hell ya Rock Kirby!
@Ogbert Oooooh! Makes sense now, Ha! my bad
Meddl Kirby is my favorite!
You know, I am not ashamed of having suffered yet another trouncing in Danmaku Unlimited this morning - Blankfield's excellent rock soundtrack makes the pain short and sharp.
OTOH, while watching the fourth video above, I had the distinct image of that drummer and Kirby mockingly slashing out the "Oroboros" theme in celebration of my defeat.
Perhaps I've been traumatized. Or perhaps this is all Kirby's fault.
This is so great! Year of Kirby is going hard!! Also that third commercial with mike Kirby was precious, seeing the Waddle Dees freaking out about the mike ability was such a great callback to the games and Anime!
My favorite was island hammock Kirby. :3
@switchscreenshots 🤭
I LOVE Green Greens so of course I enjoy these other renditions.
While "Black" is fine, so far all the promo flavours have been undrinkable swill (this is sometimes deliberate; getting people to buy your limited run beverage on a dare is a legit strategy). More then willing to give these a try though!
Don't be dissing Kirby won a grammy!
I love these ads so much! Kirby and the remixed tunes are really fun
Need a Kirby Jazz game now thanks.
… Wun can only hope.
I'd like to sip that. I'm trying to think back to a time when Jazz was ever associated with Kirby. Other then the English theme song to the anime.
I hope that jazz lounge is in Waddle Dee Town.
Pretty bangin'
I loved getting Boss coffee hot from vending machines when we visited Japan <3
