Thermos Inc., a global leader in the thermal bottle market based in Tokyo, is excited to announce the second phase of its innovative project titled "Kokoro no Ondosa Lab". This initiative dives into the nuances of interpersonal relationships, focusing on bringing warmth and understanding between people in various contexts, especially within the workplace.
The latest addition to this project is an original short drama titled "Ideal Relationships," set to premiere on August 4, 2025. This captivating series explores the intricate dynamics between a passionate supervisor and a reserved subordinate, who are both striving to find their "just right distance" in a work environment often marred by miscommunication and misunderstandings.
Starring the vibrant Erika Tsunoya, known for her role as the leader of the popular idol group "Babyraids Japan," as the fiery boss Momoko, and the talented Momo Nakajima, who previously appeared in the drama "Kaseifu no Mita Zono" as the timid subordinate Rei, the short drama promises to merge entertainment with a thought-provoking message on emotional temperatures in professional settings. The storyline revolves around the tension and conflict that arises when Momoko's intense approach clashes with Rei's more subdued demeanor.
Throughout the series, viewers will witness how these two characters navigate their differences, gradually unveiling their inner thoughts and vulnerabilities that inhibit honest expressions. Moments of realization and growth will shape their journey towards discovering the "just right relationship." The show will foster discussions on maintaining a comfortable emotional distance in work relationships, reflecting the core aim of the Kokoro no Ondosa Lab project.
In addition to the short drama, Thermos Inc. is launching a promotional campaign on its official X account (formerly known as Twitter). Beginning on August 4, viewers are encouraged to participate in the #Kokoronoodosa campaign by sharing their experiences or suggestions on bridging emotional gaps in the workplace. Five lucky participants will be awarded packs of the special "FJK-500 KKI" insulated carbonated drink bottles, designed to be shared among colleagues.
The original series will be accessible on various platforms including X, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and LINE VOOM—further extending its reach to audiences eager for relatable content that resonates with their daily lives.
The Kokoro no Ondosa Lab is more than just a project; it embodies Thermos's commitment to not only providing high-quality thermal products but also creating a meaningful discourse on crucial social issues that affect people every day. By highlighting the often unseen emotional barriers within corporate cultures, Thermos aims to promote a healthier work environment where communication prevails over miscommunication.
