Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

The rule that a song becomes popular after being featured in a commercial hasn’t changed, past or present.

Kirin Beverage Kirin Afternoon Tea “Snowman’s Dream” version

When you wish upon a star

Cynthia Erivo – When You Wish Upon A Star (From “Pinocchio”/Audio Only)

When you wish upon a star

Set to the dramatic 1940 song “When You Wish Upon a Star,” this is the Afternoon Tea commercial titled “Snowman’s Dream.” On a snowy, frigid day, it opens with a scene of a girl offering a warm milk tea to a snowman.

You can’t help but worry, thinking, “If she gives something that warm to a snowman, he’ll melt…” But the moment she hands over the milk tea, the snowman transforms into a human! Ren Meguro plays the role of the snowman, receiving the milk tea from the girl in this heartwarming story.

The background music, famous as Pinocchio’s theme song, has been arranged even more mellow than the original, making it a perfect fit for the snowy scenes.

Our HouseCrosby, Stills, Nash & Young

The way we hear sound is our connection to the world and an essential part of building relationships with those around us.

This commercial introduces the hearing assistance features of AirPods Pro 2, which support that connection to the world and help maintain hearing health.

Memories built up with your child can become faint depending on how you hear them, but these features provide solid support—helping to sustain those relationships as well.

In this touching story about reliving memories with a child, the song the daughter performs is “Our House” by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

The original is a band sound with piano, but its gentle tone fits perfectly with the stripped-down, singer-songwriter style used in the commercial.
