In the commercial featuring Mitsuki Takahata, “Life Is Full of Dreams: ‘That’s Life, My Life’,” Takahata herself showcases her singing voice.
The song she sings is “Jinsei wa Yumedarake” (Life Is Full of Dreams), written and composed by Sheena Ringo.
It’s included on Sheena Ringo’s 2017 album “Gyakuyunyuu: Koukuukyoku,” which features her self-covers of songs she originally provided to various artists.

This commercial introduces how Kanpo Life Insurance values after-sales service, portrayed through the appearances of Hayato Isomura and Nanoka Hara, who play Kanpo Life Insurance sales representatives.
In this spot, Isomura plays the senior employee and Hara the junior, and the phrase “standing by our customers,” spoken in their conversation, gives a reassuring feeling.
The BGM is an arrangement of the piece “Chopsticks,” published in 1877 by British composer Euphemia Allen.
It is performed by Takumadrops, a jazz pianist who is also active as a singer-songwriter.
With a more relaxed tempo than the original and a jazz-like arrangement, it’s a very easy-to-listen performance.

In this “Neighborhood Stroll: New Medical Rider” installment, Hikorohee appears and explains the hospitalization coverage provided by the new medical rider.
While preparing for the unexpected with insurance and trying to stay active in daily life, Hikorohee is joined by Josephine the Afghan Hound, who’s also working hard to exercise—so cute! The background music is Arthur Pryor’s “The Whistler and His Dog.” It’s a piece often used in other companies’ commercials as well, so many people may recognize the tune even if they don’t know the title.
