For a limited time, Minimal, a bean-to-bar chocolate brand, is offering a music service called "Music with Chocolate ~Christmas Edition~" that connects smartphones with AR functionality. This service, part of the "Life with Chocolate" concept, aims to create a new way of consuming chocolate. The service allows users to enjoy chocolate while listening to music. Using a smartphone camera and an AR app, users can play music by taking a photo of the Christmas-themed packaging of "Fruity Very-Like" (¥1,400) from Arhuaco, Colombia. The music played is a cover version of the Carpenters' 1970 standard "Close to You" by Haruomi Hosono. This special packaging is available exclusively at Minimal stores. Please note that the free smartphone app "STYLUS&GROOVE" must be installed to play the music.
