This is a promotional commercial for canned coffee bearing the Tully’s name, sold by Ito En.
Watching Yuko Araki take a sip and murmur, “Ah, it’s like the shop,” really makes you think, “If it’s that good, I want to try it!” The calm, atmospheric background music is Moonlight Serenade, famous as a jazz standard.
In this commercial, it’s not the original version but an arrangement woven with warm female scat vocals, giving it an even mellower and more memorable finish.
The song used in Georgia’s 1994 commercial is “Georgia On My Mind,” performed by David Sanborn.
The ad memorably features Sanborn playing the saxophone.
Originally recorded in 1930 by Hoagy Carmichael’s orchestra, the song has since been covered by musicians across many genres and is cherished as a jazz standard.
Many listeners were likely captivated by the sensual saxophone melody.
