http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=ojYh1bwRHWE //Description:// Young male and female couple in a park. Under a tree, red petal falls into male's hand. Female (in red dress) says we will always be together, etc. Her voice makes the sound of a mobile phone ringing; young man (wearing eye-glasses) lifts his red mobile phone (keitai) to his ear and answers it. At this point, the viewer sees the female has magically disappeared. Soundtrack: //All you need is love.//
