NEXCO Central Japan “With My Teenage Son”
This is a NEXCO Central Japan commercial depicting a junior high school boy and his parents taking a long drive together.

However, the mood shifts when the three of them are shown being moved by the view from a service area they stop at along the way, conveying a heartwarming sense of family love.
The background music is “with a little happiness,” created for the commercial and sung by Taiwanese-born singer Eri Liao.
It’s a gentle ballad highlighted by her rich, resonant voice, perfectly matching the warm family scenes in the ad.
