[History] Summary of Popular Nescafé Commercials and CM Songs (21–30)
Once Again It’s SummertimeMaxi Priest
This song, which perfectly matches Nescafé’s stylish image, is “Once Again It’s Summertime” by reggae lovers rock singer Maxi Priest.
It’s based on “Aura Lee,” a song widely sung in the United States and well known in Japan, so the melody is essentially that of “Aura Lee.” By the way, Maxi Priest also took part in Yuji Oda’s “Love Somebody,” the theme song of the Bayside Shakedown (Odoru Daisōsasen) series, contributing both the rap lyrics and vocals.
With the gentle melody of “Aura Lee” transformed into a chic, light reggae style, it offers a whole new way to enjoy “Aura Lee.”
Nessun dorma from the opera TurandotNishikiori Ken
A commercial for Nescafé Gold Blend featuring opera singer Ken Nishikiori uses Nessun dorma from the opera Turandot.
The piece is also frequently used in figure skating: at the 2006 Turin Olympics by gold medalist Shizuka Arakawa, and at the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics by silver medalist Shoma Uno.
In the commercial, Ken Nishikiori himself performs the song, showcasing a magnificent voice that makes it feel as if you are watching an opera live before your eyes.
