Visuals: On a blue background with a tilting lens flare, golden fragments come to form the words "JHV" with a white-brown glow behind it. It then zooms out, and on the bottom, the company symbol with "ジャパンホームビデオ株式会社" to the right of it, both with a green shadow, fading in below. A shine sweeps across the acronym and the "V" sparkles. The acronym gets swept with a shine another time after that. Golden fragments continue to absorb into the company acronym before the logo fades out.

Technique: Computer animation.

Audio: A synth-pop fanfare.
