The commercial for the smartphone debut project featuring NiziU, titled “The Promise of Your Smartphone Debut,” uses NiziU’s song “Chopstick.” Included on their 2021 album “U,” the track is based on the melody of “The Celebrated Chop Waltz,” composed by Euphemia Allen.

Just like the original piece, the more you listen, the more addictive the melody becomes—high impact and irresistibly catchy! It makes you want to sing and dance along.

The lyrics convey the feeling that, like a pair of chopsticks, everything is only truly fun when you’re together with someone special.

In this second commercial in the “Kami Jūden Girl” series, Eisa Ikeda and VTuber Marine Houshou make appearances.

It opens with Ikeda forgetting to charge her smartphone; when she plugs in the charging cable, the CM shifts into an animated world.

The story shows Kami Jūden Girl and Marine Houshou bustling about in the animation, and by the time Ikeda finishes getting ready in the real world, her phone is fully charged.

Beyond the fun, slapstick-style presentation, the ad leaves a strong impression with how quickly the phone finishes charging.

The frantic sound of “Toccata” playing in the background also strongly underscores the sense of charging speed.

A medium-tempo number by Dai Hirai whose lyrics really sink in.

Chosen as the theme song for SoftBank’s web drama commercial “Treasure, Forever,” it was the first track of 2021 delivered in the Sunday serial release series under the banner “Sunday Goods.” The rhythmic, laid-back acoustic sound and rap-style vocals feel so good, and the lyrics are simply wonderful.
