On television, the strains of Voi che sapete from The Marriage of Figaro plug Suntory whisky, and a Strauss waltz is used as a background for a refrigerator-deodorizer ad. At a children's concert by the New Japan Philharmonic recently, more than 2,000 grade schoolers in the audience rose at the conductor's behest and, in two-part harmony, sang the Ode to Joy from Beethoven's Ninth...
