[edit] Commercial endorsements

Everlasting will be used as the network advertisement for the online Japanese music giant, Music.jp; it will also be used as the ending theme for the TV Asahi drama "Gate of Miracles". In addition to these two large endorsments Everlasting will also be used as the feautured track for the Japanese dubbing of the movie Oliver Twist. There are no endorsments using soundscape.

[edit] Music Video

This music video consists of many scenes. The first scene shown is of BoA in a dark room with a flower and many photographs scattered throughout the floor of the room. Also there are three windows to the room. Through each of windows, BoA is there, one with a big black hat with a white dress, another with a flower in her hair and the atmosphere like autumn and the last is BoA sitting upon a bell tower dressed in completely black. The music video takes turns between all the scenes and BoA is shown singing throughout all of them. The director clearly was trying to make the music video symbolic.
