"We wish England was Australia... or Jupiter?"

Just saw a new Australian commercial for Bundagerg Rum (Click here to view it) that has a lot of British people singing a song called "We wish England was Australia" which sounded REALLY familiar! It wasn't long until it ocurred to me that the song is actually to the tune of a Japanese hit that was released around the time I first came to Japan 3-4 years ago called Jupiter by Ayaka Hirahara.

Funnily enough I saw this song being used on a tv commercial when I was in Shanghai too.

It's a beautiful song which is why it's probably used so much. I just find it interesting that if I'd never come to Japan I would be completely ignorant of this bit of trivia.

Here's the song. Feeders and Email Readers Click here.



And Now watch the Rum ad! Haha.

And because I love it so much here's a stunning tv live performance that's well worth a watch. Email and Feeders
