The video sheds spotlight on the protagonist, Sena Izumi (瀬名泉水) and Ryoma Ichijo (一条龍馬), who fell in love with Izumi as a child when they co-starred in a commercial together. Ichijo misunderstood Izumi was a girl and was thrilled that he was doing the commercial again after ten years. Though he later acknowledges the gender of Izumi, Ichijo can’t help but develop a love affection for him.
