Only one

This lovely commercial, featuring Akira Emoto in the role of Professor Suzuki, is the kind that warms your heart.

Professor Suzuki has lost his wife, and while sorting through her belongings he finds the Suica card she used.

He uses it to take a train and go buy the cake she had once said she wanted.

Unsure which cake to choose and struggling a bit, he manages to buy one and return home.

But when he reports at the household altar that he forgot to buy a piece for his wife—the most important one—he suddenly hears her voice from somewhere.

It’s a beautiful piece that portrays the bond between husband and wife through a single Suica card.

The background music features Ichiko Aoba’s “Hitotsu Dake.” Her calm, serene vocals are incredibly soothing—a gentle song you’ll want to keep listening to.
