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.

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

The song was released in 1981, but it was originally written for a film and later covered by Frank Sinatra.

FIRE has become even more delicious, supporting hardworking people.
