"Letters" is a song recorded by Utada Hikaru, first released as an A-side on her "SAKURA Drops / Letters" single in 2002. It was used as the "NTT DoCoMo FOMA" CM song. While "Letters" was a A-side, it never had a promotional video to go with it, partly due to it's promotion through being a commercial song. The song was an effort between four major record labels, as several famous guitarists appeared on behalf of their record companies (Toshiba EMI, UNIVERSAL J, Sony Music Records and UNLIMITED RECORDS).
