2025 Merino Wool Life and Wear / Gentle Time 30s Horizontal

Here’s a Uniqlo commercial packed with a heartwarming episode in a short span of time.

Haruka Ayase and Yumi Kawai encounter each other on a train.

The atmosphere between them is awkward, and Kawai looks away from Ayase.

But Ayase approaches Kawai holding a mandarin orange, and they make up.

It seems they had a quarrel, as Kohei Matsushita is also shown calling Kawai with concern.

The background music is Southern All Stars’ 1992 release “Namida no Kiss.” Though the song is about a love drifting apart and the end of summer, the deep affection within its bittersweetness resonates with the interaction between Ayase and Kawai.

In the “The East is Beautiful” version, a Japanese woman stands in a river surrounded by great nature, and with the single line “The East is beautiful,” the spot simply yet powerfully highlights the beauty of East Asian people.

Both commercials convey the brand’s strong conviction and confidence.

The BGM is “As Time Goes By,” gently sung by Yuga.

Since both Japanese and English lyrics are used, be sure to listen closely and compare them.
