"Ashita ga Arusa (There's always tomorrow)" is a Japanese song released in 1963, famously sung by Kyu Sakamoto, becoming a major hit. With lyrics by Yukio Aoshima and music composed by Hachidai Nakamura, the song humorously captures the everyday struggles of a young male student. Despite lacking the confidence to confess his love to a girl he admires, he maintains a positive outlook on life. Upon its initial release, the song achieved remarkable sales of over 800,000 copies.
The song has since been covered by various artists. In August 2000, "Ashita ga Arusa" enjoyed an incredible revival when it was featured as the theme song for a commercial promoting Georgia canned coffee, a product of Coca-Cola Japan. This sparked a new wave of popularity, cementing its timeless appeal.
