The “Tsurutsuru” edition, aired in 2005, is memorable for its scenery of a stork gliding slowly through the sky.

Tsurutsuru is a town near Suwałki, a rural town on the Polish border.

The song is Billy BanBan’s “Kimi no Uta,” which was used from 2005 to 2007.

It’s a pleasant commercial with a relaxed atmosphere flowing over images of a country town, and it’s a place you’d want to visit at least once.
