“Woman” is a masterpiece included on “Double Fantasy” and was released as a single after John’s death.

It was used as the theme song for Mitsubishi Motors’ eK Wagon commercial.

It’s perfect from the intro—so heartrending it brings you to tears.

The opening phrase is just too famous, isn’t it?

This is a song by Canadian singer-songwriter Patrick Watson.

It was used in Tropicana’s commercial for “Arctic Sun.” The monochrome, pencil-drawn style of the animation is very striking, and combined with the music, it’s a song that, for some reason, makes me feel like I’m about to cry.

This song, also very famous as the theme for the TV drama “From the Northern Country,” was used in the Suntory All-Free commercial featuring Hana Kuroki and Kuranosuke Sasaki.

Even without lyrics, it evokes a deeply melancholic feeling.

Masashi Sada’s singing and the guitar arpeggios are truly wonderful.

The famous song Nagori Yuki, sung by Iruka, was actually originally by Kaguyahime.

There are probably quite a few people who think Iruka was the original.

The chord progression is so good that just humming the tune makes me want to cry.

It was used as the song for the KOSÉ Sekkisei commercial featuring Yui Aragaki.

Tosoh Corporate Commercial: “Chemistry Is a Cheer.” Lifelong Version

TOSOH’s commercial “Chemistry is a Cheer: Lifetime” is really good.

I think some people will be moved to tears by the narration that says, “It’s okay to make mistakes, it’s okay to get dirty.” Supporting that kind of CM behind the scenes is Sakura Fujiwara’s “sunshine,” which is another tearjerker—you’ll definitely remember this commercial whenever you hear the song! Fujiwara’s singing voice has a mysterious quality, like a mix of head voice and chest voice, and just listening to it makes your heart feel calm.

As for the English lyrics, I recommend translating them yourself and fully immersing yourself in the world of this song, “sunshine”!
