This song is the cheer anthem that Yuzu—who have produced numerous hit songs—released in 2023.

Some of you may have heard it in Nippon Life’s commercial supporting the Basketball World Cup held in 2023.

As the title suggests, it declares that “the act of not giving up is beautiful,” and its lyrics about pushing forward together with your teammates are sure to move you.

While the lyrics are warm and uplifting, the track itself incorporates EDM-style synth sounds and builds a high-energy mood—be sure to listen with that contrast in mind.

The song’s rhythm has a buoyant lightness, and the overall gentle yet cheerful atmosphere conjures a sense of love for one’s hometown.

It’s a commercial that conveys the sense that various constraints are gradually being lifted and that a world full of diverse expressions is beginning to return.

The idea is that by deliberately creating expressions and conveying emotions, people form connections and spark the way to a richer world.

Kaneko Ayano’s “Hikari no Hou e” is used as the BGM; its light, airy feel and bright vocals seem to further enhance the positive impression.

It also feels like a CM that communicates Shiseido’s philosophy of wanting to support rich expressions that clearly convey emotion.
