[LAWSON] Sakurazaka46 Commercial: Earn stamps with the app

This is a Lawson app campaign commercial featuring Yu Murai and Hikaru Morita.

The ad announces a campaign where collecting stamps in the app gives you a chance to win prizes like tickets to Sakurazaka46 concerts.

Playing in the background is “Unhappy Birthday Syntax,” which they will release in October 2025.

The lyrics, centered on one’s own birthday, are striking for their self-questioning tone—wondering whether it was good to be born at all.

Even within that self-deprecating theme, however, the song weaves in forward-looking words that glimpse hope for the future, and many listeners are likely to resonate strongly with it.
