The song playing in the “In Front of the Music Shop” version was “I Loved You, Loved You, Loved You.” The original is a duet by Hiroshi Wada and the Mahina Stars & Miyoko Tashiro, who churned out hit songs through collaborations with female singers, and in the commercial it’s performed with new lyrics.

Country Roads, featured in a Pocari Sweat commercial themed “Let’s protect our stronger selves this winter,” is a familiar song as the theme of the animated film Whisper of the Heart.

The track, originally released in 1971 by American singer John Denver, saw a gradual hit as a cover single by voice actress Youko Honna.

In this commercial, singer-songwriter Huwie Ishizaki—also known for providing songs to Masaki Suda—joins in on chorus, carried by the vocals of cast members Yô Yoshida and Rio Suzuki.

The result is a warmly powerful atmosphere that matches both the brave stance against winter and the innocent scenes portrayed.
