Released in March 1981.

Since then, it has transcended eras and generations, and to this day remains a beloved classic by many.

The lyricist Takashi Matsumoto, after the shock of losing his younger sister to illness, spent painful days feeling that his world had turned monochrome.

One day, upon seeing a beautiful person, he felt color return.

It is said that this song was born from that experience.

Aux Champs-ÉlyséesKeimyo Reitaro

This is the CM song for Suzuki’s Lapin Chocolat.

Hidetoshi Nishijima plays a chocolatier at a neighborhood chocolate shop.

Kiyoshiro Reitaro singing in Japanese to the melody feels fresh, and the performance by the Travel Swing Orchestra is wonderful!

In the renewed Naive commercial, Kaela Kimura herself transforms into a pig character called “naiveee,” sporting pig ears and a pig nose.

She jumps from a flying trapeze, sings and dances, and appears as a cute and lively pig.

It’s a piece that has been passed down and sung by various artists; in 2014 it was extensively remade and the baton was passed to Humbert Humbert.

Their clear, transparent vocals are wonderful.
