ARASHI・Sakurai Sho’s “I don’t want to experience that again” is?

ARASHI’s Sakurai Sho acts in in-Jelly (in ゼリー) CM, two new CMs are going to broadcast country-wide from 20 March (Monday・Holiday) onwards.

In the new CM Sakurai-san acted a businessman who got up late in the morning, 10 seconds before the conference started. During this “in-Jelly excuse of oversleeping CM”, after rushing up in a hurry, he operated the smartphone in haste, anyway contact the company first… but then he thought about the excuse of being late. He thought about excuse like “When I went to the company suddenly a UFO appeared, and I was sucked into the UFO!” but it was indeed impossible… Finally, Sakurai-san did not make any excuse and went to work drinking “in-Jelly” for recharging energy.

During the UFO abduction scene, Sakurai-san challenged the wire-action. He was lifted up to 5-meter height above the ground, he needed to use mobile phone while keeping balance, in such difficult scene he demonstrated his excellent sense of balance. In good cooperation with staff he mastered the performance with wire. Sakurai-san was lifted up by wire for around one hour, in such tough condition, he tried many difficult actions, and the new CM was completed with director’s praise.

And then, challenging the learning of supernatural power “I wish I could move to the conference room in an instant now!”, during “in-Jelly move-in-instant CM”, the highpoint was that Sakurai-san who was calm in usual circumstance performed hurried scene which was rare to be seen. Sakurai-san’s comical performance on challenging teleportation seriously was also a point to note.

Sakurai-san recalled the filming “There was a scene in which I overslept and then rushed up, the director requested me to act with over-eye, and I acted over-eye with an extent like ‘not that much astonished’”.

And, as for his own oversleeping experience Sakurai-san said “about three years ago, on the day I went to district for concert, I got up at the gathering time. I went to the concert venue alone with about two flights late than schedule. Though I made it in time, I don’t want to experience it again”.

The new “in-Jelly” CMs which Sakurai Sho-san acts will be broadcast country-wide from 20 March (Monday・Holiday) onwards.
