It was used around 1975 as a commercial jingle.

The song chosen for the Nescafé Excella commercial is Shoko Nakagawa’s “Sakurairo.” She herself appears in the ad, which shows her enjoying Excella with friends.

Nescafé, which has a somewhat premium feel, comes across as casual and approachable for younger people.

The fresh, driving melody evokes the warm spring air when cherry blossoms are in bloom.

The lyrics suggest graduation, conveying the feeling of holding onto the fun days spent with friends and being ready to give it your all starting tomorrow.

An elegant tea party with Excella after the graduation ceremony might be a great idea, too!

NESCAFÉ Open up

A singer-songwriter who debuted in 1990.

There are both English and Japanese versions.

The song became a hot topic after being sung in a commercial and was subsequently released on CD.

The sound that seems to be a quena featured in the latter half of the song lends it an Oriental flavor that evokes nostalgia.

Some people say this is the best song from Nescafé.
