It was used for AGF “Maxim.” Eiichi Ohtaki was a fan of Mr.

Asahi, and apparently he was extremely nervous when they met.

I think it’s a grand song filled with Ohtaki’s feelings, perfectly suited to Mr.

Asahi.

Its majestic, continental vibe is wonderful.

GOOD MORNING CALLKoizumi Kyoko

It was used in a Knorr Cup Soup commercial.

It sounds a bit subdued, but it’s a song by Tetsuya Komuro, isn’t it? There are moments when Kyoko Koizumi’s pitch makes me go “huh?”, but with the same unchanging cuteness she’s had since her debut to this day, I feel like letting it slide.

It was used for “Knorr Fluffy Egg Soup.” It seems it was played as a parody song.

The Yasuda sisters, including Yuki-san, have also released a scat version, and the light, familiar melody seems to go well with anything.

I sense a craftsman-like quality in Ms.

Fujiko’s piano.

The song playing in Ajinomoto’s commercial, which has a bright and cheerful atmosphere, is a children’s song that almost everyone has heard at least once.

The pure voices of the Nishi-Rokugo Boys’ Choir beautifully convey the deliciousness of the food and the warmth of family togetherness.

The song became a major hit when it was sung by Kyu Sakamoto in 1964.

Later, in 2007, it was selected for the Agency for Cultural Affairs’ “100 Best Japanese Songs,” and it has continued to be loved by many people for many years.

Its simple, easy-to-remember melody and lyrics make you want to hum along with family and friends, making it perfect for scenes of gathering around the table.

It was used in “Pal Sweet, Calorie Zero.” First, you feel a refreshing morning awakening.

As the sun gradually rises and the day begins, that ordinary notion is expressed exactly as music—it’s amazing.

Since the expression changes depending on how the instruments are layered, I was once again struck by the charm of music.
