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.

Koi no Ma-ia-hiiO-Zone

In Suntory Draft Beer’s “Namama Family” commercial, there’s a scene where Kento Yamazaki is shopping while singing an original parody song and runs into Mone Kamishiraishi.

The way Yamazaki gets embarrassed when she catches him singing leaves a strong impression.

In this commercial, he’s singing O-Zone’s signature track “Dragostea Din Tei,” which became a huge hit in Japan around 2004 under the title “Koi no Maiahi.” It became a topic of conversation because the Romanian lyrics sounded like Japanese to many listeners, starting with the famous “Numa Numa Yay.”

[Coca-Cola] Christmas Commercial: 'Anyone Can Be Santa Claus'

I Could be Santa ClauseCeleste

Coca-Cola’s commercial aired for Christmas, titled “Everyone Is Surely Santa Claus.” It depicts a city overflowing with Santas, set to Ceteris’s song “I Could be Santa Clause” in the background.

The lyrics convey the message that “anyone can be Santa Claus.” It’s interesting how the structure lets you understand the story when watched together with the commercial.

It seems there are no plans to release it as a single, but I’d love to hear the full version.
