I only found the video yesterday and it strikes me as being a mixture of a Japanese teen model convention, "The Prisoner" and "The Stepford Wives"...maybe even the current version of "Westworld" with all of the clones. Still, having stated that, I wouldn't mind living in the neighbourhood since it seems to be a very peaceful and pleasant place.
But the video belongs to the song "ringo" (yes, Japanese for "apples") which is a track on a Motohiro Hata（秦基博）album filled with duets. "HATA EXPO -The Collaboration Album-" came out a few days ago on the 20th and the first track is indeed "ringo" which has Hata working and performing with the lead singer of the band Spitz, Masamune Kusano（草野マサムネ）. It's a fun and happy pop/rock tune about finally getting out of the shell and enjoying life once more. Hearing the familiar vocals of Kusano brought back some nostalgia from my old 1990s. Hata was responsible for words and music with Kusano also helping out on the lyrics.
