The 2012 version of the commercial is the “Texas Cowboy” edition set in Texas.
It strikingly and stylishly portrays cowboys herding cattle with a wild flair.
The background music is “Love Is Like a Prayer,” also well-known from Fuyumi Sakamoto’s rendition.
While lyricist Goro Matsui uses words that are easy for anyone to understand, as mentioned at the outset, the song conveys a grand worldview that goes beyond a simple love song.
Billy BanBan’s version is characteristically refined with a restrained touch, and it’s fun to compare it with Sakamoto’s vocal version to hear the differences!

This is a commercial filmed on New York’s Hudson River.
