He lived in a wheelchair from an early age, supported by his family, friends, and teachers.

At 15, having overcome the illness, he is shown running—an image that brings tears to your eyes.

While torchbearers are often celebrities or former athletes, this commercial is wonderful because it introduces people from the general public who have persevered.

Nippon Life ‘Torch Runners Story: Miyu Tarui’ EditionMiyu Tarui

Torchbearers share their real-life experiences! Heartwarming stories of bonds revealed in the 'Nippon Life Torchbearers’ Stories' commercial

This is a commercial by Nippon Life titled “Torch Runner’s Story: Miyu Tarui,” featuring the Tokyo Olympics torch relay.

It shows a tiny baby girl, then her growing up, starting ice skating, and working hard.

It seems to be a half-life story of an athlete aiming to become a skater, but by the end we learn that Ms.

Tarui had a twin sister who passed away right after birth.

The opening line, “We were always together,” is revealed to have that meaning—making it a deeply moving ad.
