This is an original song by singer-songwriter Kaori Sawada, created for the Suntory “The Premium Malt’s” commercial.

The gentle sound of the ukulele layered with her soft vocals matches perfectly with the visuals that portray the warmth of family.

The lyrics, which express the joy of a child’s growth, also highlight the strength of family bonds, giving the song an overall image of gentle smiles.

Because it’s sung tenderly in English, it works perfectly as background music and seems to complement the commercial’s imagery.

Both the visuals and the music convey those happy moments found in everyday life.

A Suntory Iyemon green tea commercial shows Masato Sakai arriving in Kyoto and being greeted by Kotone Furukawa.

Despite having visited Kyoto many times, Sakai admits he’s never tasted Iyemon, which shocks everyone around him.

He then reacts with even greater surprise to their reaction, his curiosity piqued—Is it really that significant? Overall, it’s a comedic piece with a palpable sense of social pressure.

The song is from the 1952 musical Singin’ in the Rain, where Gene Kelly sings it in the rain.

Incidentally, in some department stores this song is used as a discreet signal to staff—letting them know that it has started raining outside so they should cover paper shopping bags with plastic sleeves to protect them from the rain, without alerting customers.
