If you’re familiar with prewar popular songs and jazz, you might hear a charming, slightly goofy melody and find yourself going, “Oh!” The piece used in NTT Docomo’s “First Smartphone Plan” commercial is a hit song from 1928, composed and sung by Frank Crumit, a popular American star of the time.

In Japan, it’s been covered by many singers under the title “Shareotoko” (often rendered as “Dandy” or “Stylish Man”), with lyrics that humorously portray the pathos of a man who mistakenly thinks he’s a ladies’ man.

Over the years it’s been used in various dramas and commercials in parody or newly arranged versions, and this commercial also features an original arrangement.
