Hi all. I’m in Japan for a bit. There’s a song that plays often in the streets in Shinjuku (and maybe other places, not sure). I’m not sure if it’s a pop song or some kind of store’s jingle.

There’s a melodic phrase in it that sounds a lot like “For the Longest Time” by Billy Joel, and then the chorus has a really satisfying, predictable resolution.

There *might* be some kind of bells in it? Not sure. But something about the arrangement reminds me of a Christmas feeling or a graduation celebration kind of feeling.

Totally lost as far as lyrics go.

Please see vocal recording:

Thank you!

I think I get the difference, but when I try to look into a difference, they just look the same and redirect me to the same place.
