Special decals were added on this aircraft in December 1999 just after the airline's first anniversary. Besides Hokkaido tourism campaign (see separately), the logo of 4 sponsors was added above the window line. The decals were amended rather frequently with brands chasing other ones; however Japanese snack food maker Calbee, the Shiroi Koibito cookie of confectionery maker Ishiya and telecom provider DoCoMo remained visible in a way or another until the cookie took most of the room in December 2003 (see separately). Other decals included "Kirara 397" and "Hoshimo Yune", two varieties of rice produced in Hokkaido and developped by local agriculture authorities (and worn until 2000). Other decals also promoted Jalan, an internet news portal, the Sapporo Dome stadium and SSAWS Skidome, an indoor ski slope in Funabashi (Chiba).
