It gets you on the simple fact that you're humming a road safety PSA and you feel nothing but affection about it. This began as a spot for FM Miyazaki Joy, a local station's driver safety campaign, and listeners started calling in to request the commercial instead of actual songs, which is the kind of accidental hit no ad team can manufacture on purpose. NHK noticed, bought the rights, scrubbed a sizable chunk of the lyrics, and slotted it into Minna no Uta, making it one of the vanishingly rare entries that came up out of private broadcasting rather than being built in house. What's left is a couple of quiet minutes with no spectacle and nothing resembling a plot, just a melody carrying the whole thing. If you have ever loved a song mostly because of where you first heard it, this one already belongs to you.

A song from an unexpected place reaches screens across Japan. The track began as the jingle for a road safety ad on FM Miyazaki Joy, a regional radio station, and listeners liked it so much that they asked for the ad in place of regular music. NHK later acquired the rights and commissioned a music video for a revised version, with much of the lyrics rewritten. Sung by Mitsue Ooshiro, the single-episode romance music video aired on NHK's Minna no Uta, a program whose songs almost never come from private broadcasters.
