It was the best commercial in Japan. This is a master piece. Canon's choir part is also really great! .It's google translation, so sorry if it's weird.
That's become one of my favorite Christmas songs over the last few years. Here's a version sung by Miko Todaka at a Sakura Gakuin Christmas show. Like Suzuka Nakamoto (BABYMETAL's Su-metal), Miko is from Hiroshima, and studied singing and dancing at Actors School Hiroshima (ASH). She's the third Hiroshiman, after Su and Mariri, to join Sakura Gakuin. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b5l_VVTz-wA.html
