New TV Commercial for "GREEN DA･KA･RA Gentle Barley Tea" Mugi-chan, now 5 years old, makes an appearance.

Suntory Beverage & Food International began airing a new TV commercial for its "GREEN DA･KA･RA Gentle Barley Tea" product, titled "Mom's Face," on May 23. This caffeine-free barley tea product was relaunched with a new formula and packaging on the same day.

The commercial features Nagisa-chan, the younger sister of Shizuku-chan, also known as Green Dakara-chan. The sisters first appeared together in a commercial in 2013, and Nagisa-chan appeared solo in 2015. The commercial series has been popular for the sisters' cuteness.

Nagisa, who had never spoken in a commercial before, tried singing for the first time. The unique lyrics expressing the face of a mother when she is angry and the stumbling but cheerful singing voice create a smile-inducing world view, appealing to parents and children alike that this is a product they can drink with peace of mind.

Nagisa-chan happily starts singing in her favorite field. It seems she was scolded by her mom before coming here, making the song's theme "Mom's Angry Face." As she sings, "Mom's angry face looks like a Shisa-♪" "Sometimes like a Jamila-♪" "Sometimes like a Moai-♪," each figure appears in the field.

After finishing the song, Mugi-chan dashes off, and a narration states, "Kindness is the best."

In a post-shoot interview, Nagisa-chan explained that when she feels like singing spontaneously, it's "when I'm listening to music in the car, and I end up memorizing even songs I don't know." She added that while her mom looks like a Shisa when she's angry, she also wakes up early to make character bento lunches, proving she's kind after all.

She shared an example of her sister Shizuku-chan's kindness: "When I fall down stairs or something, she asks, 'Are you okay?'" After hearing Nagisa-chan sing, Shizuku-chan gave high praise: "It was good, but there were a few rough spots. 95 points."

The sisters' behind-the-scenes footage, viewable on the product site ( http://www.suntory.co.jp/softdrink/greendakara/ ), is truly heartwarming.
