It depicts Takako Matsu, Hana Sugisaki, Yumi Kawai, and Sairi Ito watching over the city of Tokyo as four alien sisters.

After remarking that the residents of this planet “are always doing unnecessary things,” referring to their proactive development of the city, they go on to say that “TEA around the world is also doing unnecessary things,” and introduce the product’s features.

By “unnecessary things,” they mean adding various ingredients to black tea, and they highlight that this extra touch is precisely what makes teas of the world so appealing.

The commercial’s BGM features Nulbarich’s stylish track “Words.” I think the words at the end of the lyrics will surely resonate with many people, so please give it a listen while reading the lyrics.
