JT CM 'One step at a time, toward the future.' Adult Refinement Edition (30 seconds)

In this day and age, smokers often find themselves in situations where they feel unwelcome.

As this commercial also says, what you love might be something someone else dislikes—a theme we shouldn’t forget, not just about tobacco but about anything.

That’s exactly why a bit of considerate, adult decorum is called for, and the music that colors this message is by the Japanese post-rock band toe.

If you’re a fan of their work, you probably recognized the track the moment you heard it.

Among their songs, this one stands out as an especially gentle and beautiful instrumental.

It’s a shame the piece was written specifically for the commercial and isn’t available for download, but if you’re interested, be sure to check out their original albums!

GoodbyeToe

JT CM 'One step at a time, toward the future.' Respecting Diversity Edition

In an era where the importance of diverse values is loudly proclaimed, truly respecting diversity is very difficult, yet it’s a theme we simply can’t avoid.

People hold different values regarding tobacco as well, which is why this commercial makes you think.

The music that colors this socially conscious ad is by toe, a Japanese band highly renowned among fans of what’s known as the post-rock genre.

The exquisitely interwoven clean tones of the two guitars, the bass that generates a surging groove, and the busy drumming create a serious tension.

While it’s an instrumental track that never distracts from the visuals, its overwhelmingly distinctive sound is nothing short of impressive.

Unfortunately, since it’s an original piece composed for the commercial, it hasn’t been released on CD or made available for download.
