Seeing the members dressed as chefs preparing the bento may come off as a bit comical, but their earnest approach conveys a sense of craftsmanship and luxury.
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.

As the title suggests, it’s a song we especially recommend to teenagers in the midst of their youth who are about to set out on a new path.

The song portrays the resolve to look forward and move on while reflecting on a past romance, making it recommended for those who want to recover from heartbreak or cherish past relationships while stepping ahead.
The original is a rock ballad with piano, but the commercial uses an acoustic version, so be sure to listen closely to that rendition as well.

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.
