Just to give everyone who may not know her a preview, this is former competitive skater Mao Asada（浅田真央）. She's become quite the legend due to her feats on the ice and has been a regular face on Japanese TV not just because of her skating but also through commercials.
Apparently, she's now broken into the world of music videos. That is indeed Asada against the backdrop of a different form of H2O as Mariya Takeuchi（竹内まりや）sings her latest release, "Days of Love" which got its debut on YouTube a couple of days ago. Written by Takeuchi and composed by her husband Tatsuro Yamashita（山下達郎）, it does have that Tats feeling of twangy guitar and languid rhythm that has often gone into one of his songs.
"Days of Love" is now being used as the campaign song for Airweave, a mattress company. It's a nice fit, considering how relaxing the song feels.
