| This song was featured as the theme in the commercial for Aflac's "Aflac shin EVER" insurance program in Japan. Also a "maneki neko" or "beckoning cat" is a cat typically seen inside of or near Japanese restaurants, shops, and various places of business. It is supposed to be beckoning in business with its upraised (and sometimes waving) paw. |
