In this article, we’ll introduce a whole selection of Kirin commercial tracks that many viewers have been curious about.

The piece used in the commercial that conveys the authentic taste of Hon Shibori Chuhai is “Waltz at the Barn” by Chris Donny and Beth Perry.

Chris is active as a composer, and Beth as a cellist.

The duo creates music in a variety of moods, mainly in classical, ambient, and electronica, and this track is a beautifully ambient work that perfectly matches the fresh impression of the commercial’s visuals.

The cello’s tone gently embraces the soft sounds of acoustic guitar and synthesizer.

It’s a song that soothes the heart just by listening.

SeptemberEarth, Wind & Fire

It’s a song released in 1978.

Many people probably remember it as the theme song for the Nippon TV drama “Zoku Heisei Fūfu Chawan,” starring Noriyuki Higashiyama and Yūka.

It was also used as the CM song for Kirin Cocktail “Sparkle.”
