Vitamin Water CM (1996) / Eternal Memories (1999)
Hi guys and gals! The other day I was going thru my RSS feed and came across a cool CM so I had to share. But then it got me nostalgic about my favorite Japanese CM from back in the day (1996). I blogged about it years ago, but I couldn’t find the post so here it is again! I just love the music, thunder, and jingle. It’s perfect!
By the way, the song “Eternal Memories” is by Yoko Kanno, the actress in the CM is Miho Kanno, and the song was sung later by Crystal Kay (1999). I’ve embedded it below. Wonderful song…. give it a listen!
Suntory CM
I have a great love for Japanese water/tea CMs (commercials). 😝🍵 And I am a fan of Utada Hikaru! 🎶 Plus the outdoor atmosphere is great.
Here’s another one from 1996 that I love. I saw it right after I moved to Japan.
And here’s my favorite one for Vitamin Water… very nostalgic!
Umimachi Diary 海街diary (Our Little Sister) (2015) – Movie Review
I finally watched Umimachi Diary today, and loved it! It’s a simple story filled with some touching moments and beautiful scenery – it takes place in Kamakura, which is one of my favorite places… of course it is by the sea. 🌊 (Umimachi means seaside town) I wouldn’t mind living in a small town in Japan… in fact I am hoping Mariko finds a nice place for us to live like that in the future. The four main characters live in the family house, which is old but very nice… I think Mariko is looking for something like that too for our future home! 😇
Anyways, this Umimachi Diary is a slow, heartfelt, and realistic movie – you won’t find any action or suspense here. But if you are in the mood for a well-acted, beautifully filmed movie, I can recommend this one. Please enjoy the trailer below:
