Looks like a dandelion to me.

wireless earphones would help with that "someone's gonna mug me when they see the trademark white wires hanging from my ears" feeling I sometimes get.

I think the "luck" part refers to the chance of you winning one of their bags that has tons of free stuff in it. See http://www.thinksecret.com/news/retailjapan2006.html

If it really was that big of an announcement, like wireless earbuds, why Japanese only?

And the earbuds still come with wires, they're just not connected to the iPod anymore. ... Yeah, it's just a dandelion-like symbol - for luck, I guess.
