The song used in the 60-second commercial for Afternoon Tea “I Want to See You, I Want to Warm You – Winter ’18 Edition” is “366 Days,” included on HY’s 2008 album HeartY.

This heartrending love ballad gradually gained support over time, and actress-singer Moka Kamishiraishi has covered it.

Long-distance relationships can be painful, but the preciousness of being able to meet when you want to see each other—this cover makes those happy moments feel all the more cherished.

Green Label 'GREEN JUKEBOX: Time' (version)

It’s nothing.RADWIMPS

Mirei Kiritani × RADWIMPS’ Yojiro Noda perform the Your Name theme song “Nandemonaiya” in a piano-and-vocal rendition for the new Kirin Tanrei Green Label commercial, “GREEN JUKEBOX: Time Edition.”

Nandemonaiya, a song by the rock band RADWIMPS and the theme for the 2016 film Your Name, has a mysterious power to make you feel as if you’ve been drawn into the movie the moment vocalist Yojiro Noda begins to sing.

While the arrangement is grand and sweeping, the lyrics themselves are down-to-earth, with parts that many of us can relate to in our daily lives.

In the commercial for Tanrei Green Label, “GREEN JUKEBOX: Toki,” the song is performed as a stripped-down solo, allowing listeners to immerse themselves even more deeply in the world of the lyrics.

GREEN APPLE appearing in miniature.

Give it a listen when you want to unwind with some stylish music.

Before I knew it, you were there.Matsuura Aya

It was released in 2005 as Aya Matsuura’s 17th single.

The song was used in a Kirin Beverage “Gogo no Kocha” commercial featuring Matsuura herself, and was originally created specifically for the CM under the title “Kigatsukeba Itsumo ~Take me please~.” However, due to the strong response immediately after the commercial aired and the growing demand for a CD release, a full-length version was produced.

It reached No.

6 on the Oricon charts.
