The song she created as the commercial jingle for Glico’s Pocky, in which she appeared, is “Kaze Tachinu” (The Wind Rises).
The phrase “kaze tatsu” is originally a seasonal word for autumn, and the title of this work uses its perfective form.
In the lyrics, the relationship between two people—already changed—is sung in connection with the changing seasons.
Though the theme is heartrending, the song also carries a certain refreshing quality—that’s part of its appeal.
Additionally, it’s worth noting that the song was featured in a 2016 commercial for Suntory’s Iyemon tea.
