New CM revives Seiko Matsuda’s “SWEET MEMORIES”
80s pop queen Seiko Matsuda will have one of her classic songs, “SWEET MEMORIES“, revived for use in a CM for “Boss Hot Silky Black”, a new coffee product. The CM, which is said to feature penguins, will utilize the 1983 hit song to promote the canned coffee product.
The song, which was also featured in a beer commercial during its initial release in 1983, was popular for its use of the penguin character as well, thus enabling her single ”Garasu no Ringo/SWEET MEMORIES” to climb the Oricon charts and dominate the top position. The original CM can still be seen on YouTube.
On a side note, singer Koda Kumi recently covered “SWEET MEMORIES” on her latest release, “ETERNITY~Love&Songs~“.
