This is a commercial that reminds us of the greatness of music through a scene of a mother and daughter tidying up their home.

In the middle of cleaning, the woman playing the mother finds an old MiniDisc stereo and a stack of MDs she used to use.

As she picks one up and gazes at it nostalgically, the woman playing the daughter searches for the song on Spotify and starts playing it.

Seeing her mother close her eyes the moment the intro starts and listen intently, the daughter simply says, “Nice.” Many viewers probably felt a tug at the heartstrings witnessing a timeless classic transcend generations.

By the way, the song is ZARD’s “Yureru Omoi” (“Shaking Heart”), one of ZARD’s signature tracks released in 1993.

Its distinctly ’90s, accessible melody and Izumi Sakai’s clear, beautiful vocals are utterly captivating.
