This song, which portrays the frustrating feelings of a girl in love, was originally written for actress Chiaki Kuriyama.
It was later self-covered by Tokyo Jihen in live performances and on an album.
For Meiji’s commercial, however, the version sung under Ringo Sheena’s solo name—not Tokyo Jihen—was used.

Sugar losswanuka
Wanakusa’s “Sugar Loss” is a track included on the 2022 album Aonisei.
While it seems to depict feelings at the time of parting, its light, buoyant sound creates a mysterious atmosphere.
The lyrics, which pay close attention to rhyme, are another highlight; by expressing goodbye in a breezy way, they convey a sense of determination to move forward.
As for commercial tie-ins, it was used in a Morinaga DARS commercial—the airy sound and gentle vocals are a perfect match for chocolate.
CAndrop
Meiji’s “THE Chocolate,” with its stylish packaging, lets you enjoy tasting and comparing a variety of flavors.
androp’s “C,” written for a commercial with Sonoko Inoue not for tasting chocolate but for comparing songs, was created especially for the ad.
Painted with an unshowy, simple, and rustic melody, the song portrays someone indulging in sweet daydreams, pairing their unrequited love with chocolate.
Just as the lyrics suggest—wishing the person would write down their feelings on the chocolate they bought together—because confessing directly is embarrassing, it would be nice if they could just write it somewhere and stick it on… That kind of sentiment is something anyone shy and secretly in love can probably relate to.
