BE:FIRST / Streetlight - Official Audio -

A track by BE:FIRST set for release in December 2025, where the uplifting spirit of gospel and the familiarity of pop blend beautifully.

Produced by Chaki Zulu with lyrics by SKY-HI, it captivates by conveying both the sacred quality of gospel and the fun of a party song.

The lyrics, which spotlight the small joys found in everyday life, are also memorable.

It makes you realize that simply walking down a winter night street with someone special is a priceless treasure.

The song has been selected as the tie-in for FamilyMart’s Christmas campaign commercial.

Hotto Motto × JO1 New TV Commercial: “Angus Beef Steak Bento”

Sukiya Beef Sukiyaki Hotpot Commercial: “Favorite Time” Version (30 seconds)

It shows Satomi Ishihara steadily eating a beef sukiyaki hot pot.

She eats it as is, dips it in egg before eating, and even drizzles egg directly into the pot… Watching her freely savor the sukiyaki in the video really stimulates our appetite, doesn’t it? To match the commercial’s Christmas-season broadcast, the BGM is “Winter Wonderland.” Composed in 1934, it has long been cherished as a Christmas song.

Even if you didn’t know the title, I bet the melody sounded familiar.

Kento Kaku as the 'Colonel' delivers Christmas chicken! TV commercial: Party Barrel 'Colonel's Christmas' edition

As Christmas draws near, many of you probably look forward to this commercial, don’t you? When this song comes on TV, it really makes you feel, “Ah, the season is finally here!” It’s the familiar Kentucky Fried Chicken commercial, and this song perfectly heightens that unique sense of excitement and joy that comes with this time of year.

By the way, the word “holiday” in the title literally means a day off, but in the United States—where people follow many different religions—the Christmas season is often referred to as the holiday season.
