I truly think your wife would be very happy to see you find more love and be happy again. Why "more love", because you don't have to forget your wife nor stop loving her. But you should give the new, lucky lady your true love and treat her right, not like the replacement.

I can understand the story as well as the language. The song Canon in D by Pachelbel was originally should be played with Violin but can also be played with Piano. The story begins is that the girl is getting married with the boy and her father played Canon in D as a gift and memory of her dead mother who played the same song as well when she was young and before she died. When her mother died, she didn't talked to her father that much and abandoned playing the piano. The father understands her daughter so he tried to learn the song that his wife used to play. It was a gift for his daughter. Canon in D is hard to play in the piano unless you really ant to play it plus it is not really arranged for piano but for violin. Music has meaning and also it gives a letter to a person. Piano is one of the best musical instruments I can describe, I know this because I play the piano as well.

No need to understand Japanese to understand this commercial. The bride's father learned to play Canon in D for his daughter's wedding as a tribute to his late wife and her playing this piece when their daughter was a child. This is a tearjerker, especially with the photo of her mother on top of the piano. 😪

The love of a father for his daughter is beyond words. When our two girls were little I told my husband the Japanese proverb that "A father is only as happy as his saddest daughter" and for 39 years he has known it to be true. This commercial also tells us that the best gift to give is not 'stuff' but of ourselves.

My favorite part is when he hit the wrong note 2:38 , he stops, stares at the sheet, then goes back and corrects it while the bride encourages him in quiet. My tears roll down

[@leehaelters6182]

The deadpan look on father's face, which is somehow, incredibly conveying powerful emotion nonetheless, gets to me as much as the tiny expression clues playing all over the daughter's (and then bride's) face during the story.

[@thedolphin5428]

So veeeery Japanese, that need to get it absolutely right, even by admitting one's flaws and doing it again correctly, even in public. A very touching piece of cultural realism.

[@Jmdrony]

Of course, this is the crucial moment of the video sequence, when the father makes a mistake. He tries again and his daughter changes her attitude, encouraging her father. For me, the most important moment that makes me cry is when she simulates with the fingers of her right hand the typing of missed notes on the piano keyboard to help her father. It sanctifies the newfound communion between father and daughter

[@sabin97]

that part with errors near the end is extremely important.

Wow this moved me to tears. I do not speak Japanese, but I understood the pain of both the father and the daughter through the loss of his wife and her mother, and the affect it had on their relationship. this classical tune let her on her wedding day know that her dad has always loved her but never had the ability to tell her whilst she was growing up motherless .

Bridegroom - Dad can play the piano? [The bride shakes her head] Bride's thought - stop... this song... why? - Troublesome, this part is supposed to be more charming than this... - You used to be unacomplished (expresses how she's surprised and indicates that she blamed the loss of the lady, likely her mom, on him) - [shocked by the sudden pause] eh? - [piano continues] stay with it... keep it up... keep it up, dad!

Symbols are like that. Here is another example; If you were married and you wore a wedding ring, could I tell about the quality of your marriage by looking at that ring? Obviously, no.

[@peterjones242]

Finibilis Existentiam sorry what do u mean? belong or possession? in what sense

[@peterjones242]

Finibilis Existentiam In sum you are saying that she should not be ashamed of her dad because she said he sucked etc. I don't think she was slightly ashamed or embarrassed of her dad. And chances are she probably hugged him after the whole thing. I don't know what is like at where you are from, but most asian countries are very family orientated. They really love their family. I guess she was saying those things playfully for one, it also shows how close they are. Secondly, probably because she wants to make something sad cheerful, it's the same idea as trying to make a scary movie funny. In any case there is no doubt that if she was really embarrassed of her dad, she wouldnt even let him on the piano in the first place, or simply walk out. I dont know about you but I prefer black and white weddings because it's clean and simple. That's one of the main reasons why they chose those two colours for funerals, it's pure. *"This commercial storyline can't sell to intelligent species, not up to their thoughtful standard."* - your quote I must admit, it's not the best nor most touching commercial out there. In any case I think you are being slightly too harsh on them haha. It is like you said, a cultural thing. In a few countries, the sign of playfulness signifies how strong a relationship is. And you can tell by her voice she didnt mean it disrespectfully.

[@jvvaldez7298]

+Peter Jones she didn't say suck all she was saying was "yamete" which means stop.

[@peterjones242]

Jv Valdez 1:35 - 下手糞 hetakuso - to be poor at something, I.e. sucking.

[@DeltaSilver88]

+Finibilis Existentiam The reason why she was thinking "stop" and "you suck" is because that piece reminds her of her dead mother. It obviously hurts and she doesn't want to hear it at first; until the memories start turning a little better and she genuinely starts wishing for him to succeed.

[@icedcoffee278]

The bride's father was playing the piano. At first, the daughter said,stop. Then the flashback shows the mother/daughter ...the mother was playing the piano... then i guess the mom died and the daughter didn't really get along with the father. The father tried his best and learned the piano for her daughter's wedding (Canon in D) . At the end,she said... " keep going, do your best" to her father.

[@mattsoca1]

For those who do not understand, because the dearly departed mother could not attend the wedding, the father learned to play Pachelbel's Canon so that he could perform the piece at the daughter's wedding reception, and in a very real sense, "bring" the mother's presence to the ceremony (besides just her photo) to tell his daughter that he too deeply misses his wife. This aspect of Japanese culture, respecting and honoring family who have passed on, is deeply rooted in their culture. It can be seen in holiday rituals and festivals.

keep in mind that I am not Japanese but "ya mete" means something like "stop it". So she wants her father to stop at first. Then "nande" or "Nani" means something like "why?" so shes like why are you eve doing this because that song obviously brings up painful memories. At the end she says "gambete" (pheonetic spelling, rly sorry if I sound like a total weeb) but that means "go for it" or "good luck", so in the end she seen how much effort that must have taken and she wants him to do well and is happy.

Oh no. You don't sound like a weeb, just a very clever person who has managed to understand some Japanese. And why not? As a human you have a right to every language in the world that you are able to learn. Thank you.

I don't speak any Japanese...and I STILL shed a tear.

I can’t here this song without reminding me of a old man I help when I was in my 20s he was 86 and hadn’t left his house for 3 years due to disabilities and I took the time to care for him taking him on some adventures until people thought I was after his money so to save having my name wrecked I lost contact the guy a year later he called me from his deathbed asking to leave me everything so I said leave it all to a charity I don’t want it and the family got nothing it ended up going to cancer research what made me really happy because it was pure friendship I genuinely had an interest in him his life everything didn’t even think of money. Wonderful song with such power reminds me of a great person and evil people at the same time
