translation of the video description:

Zexy CM of the year "Kiss 10,000 times" It is just a story I love.
In this CM, it expresses the intention to overlap with overflowing loveful feelings "I love you". I am glad that you can sympathize with the hearts of many people while remembering someone who is important and imagining a happy future.
Appearance / Hiroe Iji (Zexi 11th generation CM girl) Yoshihiko Hosoda (partner)

A bit odd, but maybe it's me (my twitter), but this tweet did not show up when I search for "@haleyreinhart", I only saw it because Haley retweeted it

---

This page has the four lines of lyrics Haley sings, unfortunately, I can't select the text to translate the page, so I have no idea the content of the page. I tweeted it out, so maybe one of Haley's fans who knows Japanese can tell us.... http://yumestory.com/cm/zekushicmsong2018/

"I don't know where you came from
but the way that you hold me now
I know you are the one
Wherever we're meant to be
Oh Live forever love"

I think it's for a wedding magazine or store....

しんぺー @banao_8000

Replying to @zexy_news
とてもいいCMだと思ったのにいい評価があまりないのが残念です
年齢的にとても響くCMでした！
特に曲が好きでCM限定というのが残念です
歌手さんだけでも公開して欲しいです！

@zexy_news I thought that it was a very good commercial, but it is regrettable that there are not so many evaluation, and it was a cm age! It is a pity that only the singer likes the music in particular, and I want to publish it alone!

Google translated that as "I thought that it was a very good commercial but I'm sorry that there are not many good reviews It was a very resonant age! Especially I like songs and it is regrettable that CM is limited. I would like even a singer to release it!"

@banao_8000 … Haley think maybe Reinhart.

@ttps://t.co/hoNZhxEqmL This song is very loud. I'm sorry if I'm wrong!

しんぺー @banao_8000

確かにかなり声似てますね！
わざわざありがとうございます！その人の他の曲とか聞いてみます！！

@HumourIntoOK Sounds like a pretty vocal! Thank you for the bother! Let's listen to other songs of the person!!

[Tusk]

I had asked on Twitter if anyone who reads Japanese could translate a couple pages I'd found on the commercial, Harry Burns sent it to a friend and this is what he'd gleaned...

"this music is made exclusively for the TV advertisement for the wedding magazine - you cannot listen to this music apart from this advertisement"

This is confirmed by the Tweeter who Haley retweeted his tweet originally, in reply to Roz

Unfortunately this publishers -Recruit says this song is made for purely this commercial and the singer has been kept secret now. But many people are impressed and moved by Haley’s amazing voice. She deserves a lot of credit!

For whatever reason, they wanted to keep the singer's identity 'secret', I'd read this on another page, so this confirms that as well...

Maybe they want to keep it a secret b/c Haley is not Japanese?

ヘイリー・ライアンハートの歌い方いいね。今話題のゼクシィのCMだけど、歌っているのは、シカゴ出身のシンガーソングライター、Haley Reinhartみたい。American Idol シーズン10のファイナリスト(第3位)。スモーキーヴォイス。高音で、かすれた感じになるのがいいね。

Hayley · Ryanheart 's how to sing. It is a CM of Xexy which is talked about now, but what I am singing is like a singer-songwriter from Chicago, Haley Reinhart. American Idol Season 10 finalists (third place). Smokey voice. It is good to be a hoarse, faint feeling.

hiro♪ @hirokies

米国出身の27歳のシンガーソングライター。シカゴ近辺で生まれたヘイリーは、2012年5月にデビューかな。今テレビで流れているゼクシィのCM曲だけど、今回ゼクシィのためだけに、特別にオリジナルで制作された楽曲で、CMでしか公開されていない。詳細も出さず、ベールに包まれている。

A 27 year old singer-songwriter from the United States. Hailey, born in the vicinity of Chicago, will debut in May 2012. It is a CM song of Xexy currently flowing on television, but this time it is only for CMX, this song is specially original and produced only on CM. It is wrapped in veil without giving out details.

外国の人が言ってるけど、
本当にこのバックにかかる曲がいい。

低音から一気に立ち上がる高音の声がいつまでも耳に残って、歌い手さんの存在感が強く印象づけられてしまう。

一つの楽曲として是非提供して欲しい。

A foreigner says it,
The song that really takes this back is good.

The high-pitched voice rising from the bass at a stretch will remain forever and the presence of the singer will be strongly impressed.

I would like you to offer it as a song.

From Haley's AMA June 4th

So there's this Japanese commercial that has one of your songs that we haven't heard before. It currently has over 1.4 million views on YouTube. The question is, is there a full version of that song or was it only used for the commercial?

Haley
'Twas only for the commercial... you never know what could happen, but they seem to want to keep it that way. And if so, don't fret! There's more tune to come

[Miguel]

Commercial seems to have been pulled. I can't even find the YT channel.

Here's a description of the ad:

You might remember Zexy from their hilariously exploitable anime dating sim ads, where you could have your husband-to-be insult you to your face or tell you he’s already cheating on you. This latest ad reels all the gimmicks back in so we can remember what marriage is really about: kissing.

...Alright, so the narration goes a little deeper than that. Hiroe Igeta, who plays the blushing bride, narrates the commercial with such breath-taking lines as “I’m not sure if a future with you is what’s best for me, but I want to be with you while I find out” and “Whether we get married or not–just know that I love you with all my heart.” (Isn’t this company supposed to be encouraging people to get married? This is top-level reverse psychology.)

Even the coldest heart will be warmed by all those cozy, snuggly scenes of Igeta and her onscreen boyfriend (played by handsome actor Yoshihiko Hosoda). The 30-second ad packs in close to twenty separate kisses, which occur in an instantaneous flurry alongside their first kiss as a married couple.

You might be thinking that twenty kisses isn’t that impressive for a commercial about romance, but keep in mind that Japanese society is notoriously shy about public displays of affection.

...The theme of the commercial is ‘10,000 kisses’, so this 30-second snapshot leaves out a whopping 9,980 kisses! At the rate of 20 kisses per 30 seconds, that means the hypothetical full commercial would take approximately 10 days, 10 hours to watch.
