How are you?adieu
This song was used alongside an animation created to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Kanro Ame, which portrays an unchanging desire to be gentle.
Set to an acoustic sound, the song calmly speaks its feelings, and its vocals convey a unique sense of weightlessness.
The lyrics depict the loss of time spent with a loved one, and the floating, somewhat unreal sonic expressions evoke an inability to accept the present reality.
The lines about feelings refusing to fade and lingering in the heart also heighten the sense of poignancy.

An animation depicting how Spotify blends into everyday life, featuring a song that accentuates a sense of wistfulness.

The lyrics portray a parting scene and the emotions within it, and the gradually swelling expressions of regret convey the depth of the suffering.
The moments when male and female vocals overlap evoke the image of two people drifting apart.

It was also used as a TDK commercial song in which Stevie himself appeared.
Dear Santa,JO1
This commercial stylishly features the members of JO1 introducing Hotto Motto’s Angus Beef Steak Bento.

The song that enhances the stylish atmosphere of the visuals is JO1’s “Dear Santa.” It evokes the image of dance music themed around Christmas, blending warmth and glamour into its sleek vibe.
Another highlight is how their vocals convey the excitement building up toward the holiday season.
IMrs. GREEN APPLE
This is a Kirin Afternoon Tea commercial featuring a story where Ren Meguro shows up at a Mrs.

Just the two of usRADWIMPS
This is the song used in Universal Music’s “#Let’s Listen to Playlists” campaign commercial, which invites listeners to experience Heisei-era love songs.
The opening sound, which lightly marks out the beat, is striking and evokes the feeling of emotions steadily building up inside.
From there, it unfolds into a sound that gradually expands, expressing the way affection grows larger.
The lyricism, packed with words, is also memorable, giving the impression of a resolve to somehow convey one’s feelings of love.
Theory of the Mindful HeartRADWIMPS
This is the song used in the Universal Music “#Let’s Listen to Playlists” campaign commercial featuring Ren Nagase and Nanoka Hara.
It was selected as one of the representative love songs of the Heisei era; over a gradually intensifying sound, it expresses a range of emotions related to love.
It also conveys how, precisely because love is so strong, those feelings can sometimes act like a poison, affecting the heart and body.
Alongside great affection, sorrow is also sung—capturing, as it is, the raw state of emotions that can’t be neatly gathered into one.
