There’s always tomorrowRe:Japan
This is a cover of Kyu Sakamoto’s song by Re:Japan, a unit formed by talents from Yoshimoto Kogyo, including Downtown.
The group was created for a commercial for Georgia, a canned coffee brand, and the drama “Ashita ga Arusa,” which carried over the commercial’s setting, as well as the film “Ashita ga Arusa THE MOVIE,” were also produced.
The overlap between the drama’s premise—depicting the struggles of salarymen at a general trading company—and the song’s wish for a better tomorrow reinforces a positive image.
Including the sight of comedians known for their stage performances singing joyfully, the song conveys a sense of hope moving toward a brighter future.
