The song that underscores this breezy vibe is Lovefool, performed by Perfume, a cover of The Cardigans’ 1996 track.

The repeated phrase before the vocals begin and the gentle singing that follows create a distinctive sense of weightlessness.

Both the woman cutting and the man getting his hair cut are smiling, which really conveys the fresh, uplifting mood.

Enhancing the playful, breezy atmosphere of the visuals is Anri’s song “I Want to Be Dumped with a Happy End.” Although the theme is heartbreak, the sound and vocals feel light, revealing a positive emotion that encourages moving forward.
