Commercials from Japan Part I: Candies for your throat

  • Article

I have mentioned previously that many famous Japanese songs are used in commercials. Well, more than often, famous singers or otherwise known personalities record commercials. This is the case of Kaori Mochida , the lead singer of Every Little Thing.

Kaori praises the merits of candies supposed to help appease the pain of a sore throat. These are not an actual medicine, just candies with fruits/vegetable extracts and flavored with lime, or as in the one below, honey. You can see the commercial here (Windows Media Player).

Kaori sits on the branch of a tree and it seems that the day is beautiful (it seems unlikely she would have a sore throat). She eats one of the candies and while her last song "mata ashita" (Windows media player 9, Romanji lyrics and Japanese lyrics) plays, she drops a shoe quickly found by a dog. She only mentions the name of the product and smile.

More commercials from Japan are coming. Stay tuned!
