NELKE's "Greedy!!" Becomes Japanese Engineering Institute CM Song
NELKE has secured a major commercial placement with their new track “Greedy!!” landing as the theme song for Nippon Engineering College’s 2026 advertising campaign. The band, known for their energetic rock sound and theatrical presence in the Visual Kei scene, penned the track specifically for the institution’s “Passion is Talent” themed commercials.
Written by vocalist RIRIKO with arrangements from the full band, “Greedy!!” embodies everything the college wanted: propulsive instrumentation paired with an uplifting emotional arc that mirrors the nervousness and excitement of starting something new. The track channels that rush of adrenaline when you’re about to chase something you genuinely care about—perfectly aligned with the commercials’ focus on students discovering their passion through hands-on experience.
The connection between NELKE and Nippon Engineering College runs deeper than a typical licensing deal. The band performed at the college’s concert and event studies program graduation live last January at Tokyo’s Zepp Haneda, where they collaborated directly with students. That shared experience led naturally to this CM partnership. Two versions of the advertisement will air: one featuring student interviews about their passions, and another documenting high school visitors experiencing classes firsthand.
“Greedy!!” arrives digitally on July 1st, following spring releases “Bouquet” (April 1st) and “Chapter” (May 13th). The band is riding momentum from their ambitious “VAST RESONANCE” one-man tour, which wraps with a final Tokyo show at SGC Hall Ariake on July 10th. They’ve also announced a two-man tour dubbed “MERGE” launching in October, hitting Osaka, Nagoya, and Yokohama with rotating guest bands.
