“Smartphone Debut Class” YouTube URL: https://youtu.be/QowGnTL2GD0 ■Photography episode Mr. Sorimachi is a veteran actor. We had a great time having a “School Lunch Talk” with Mr. Banya and HIKAKIN who played the role of his son Mr. Sorimachi enters the studio with a refreshing smile on his face as he smiles at the staff, wearing a shirt with his sleeves rolled up. I couldn’t help but see him patting the shaved head of his son (Banke-san), calling it “cute,” and the filming location was filled with warm laughter. Also, in the scene where the three of them were filming, Mr. Sorimachi asked Mr. Banya whether the school lunch menu that he ate at that time still exists today, and we could see them getting excited about the differences between each generation of school lunches. Mr. Sorimachi and Mr. Banya get along just like a real parent and child After the shooting was over, Sorimachi-san and Banya-san made a promise, and there was a friendly scene. Mr. Banya shyly and politely thanked him, saying, “Thank you for taking the photo with me today,” and Mr. Sorimachi invited him, patting him on the shoulder, saying, “Next time, let’s go eat ramen together.” At the end, the two exchanged a warm handshake, and Mr. Banya received flowers from the staff, and the shooting ended. ■Performer interviews (Takashi Sorimachi, HIKAKIN, Amaka Banya) -Q Please tell us how you felt after filming the commercial. Also, are there any highlights or points you would like people to pay attention to in the commercial? Mr. Sorimachi: Since we were a parent and child co-starring, I wonder if we were able to become a good parent and child, and HIKAKIN appears occasionally I think the finish has a good presence! HIKAKIN: I don’t know what to say, but while the two of you were acting, I was in the back It’s not like it’s a ghost in the background, but it’s always in the
background, so I hope you’ll pay attention to HIKAKIN! Mr. Banya: Even though we had been shooting since the morning, everything up to this point was over in an instant… After! I’m currently a 6th grade student, and it was a great experience to be able to wear the school uniform for the first time before everyone else It’s done! Mr. Sorimachi: It would be great if all of this (pointing to the button) would be gone by the time I graduate! (To HIKAKIN) There was, right? HIKAKIN: That’s a long way off! (lol) Mr. Sorimachi: No, but it’s almost time for junior high school graduation, right? Three years? It would be nice if it disappeared. HIKAKIN: Well, I didn’t disappear. Mr. Sorimachi: I am gone. HIKAKIN: That’s right! There’s no need to ask about that…! 3 people: Hahahaha (lol) -Q I believe this is the first time for the three of you to work together. Please tell us your impressions of your first time together. Mr. Sorimachi: Actually, I met Mr. HIKAKIN once while working in Taiwan… This is the second time today, right? HIKAKIN: Yes, but (at that time) we only met briefly… Mr. Sorimachi: It was nice to meet you after a long time! HIKAKIN: It was a fun shoot from start to finish…I just looked straight into Sorimachi’s eyes and made weird faces I was so nervous! Mr. Banya: Mr. Sorimachi’s father and mother are already big fans, and they were very happy when they performed together… HIKAKIN is also a big star like an idol at school, so I think he’ll be moved when he sees this commercial! HIKAKIN: Okay! -Q To Mr. Sorimachi) HIKAKIN is a YouTuber with over 10 million subscribers.Do you usually watch YouTube? Mr. Sorimachi: There are quite a lot of sports…golf, fishing, etc. It’s very convenient to check I’m saved. -Q To Mr. Banya) There’s a line about not wanting to burden your father, but is there anything you don’t want your father to do? Mr. Banke: Hmm. In my house, we all sleep together on futons, but… Mr. Sorimachi: Fart? HIKAKIN: Hahahaha (lol) I was imagining that too (lol) Mr. Banya: I can’t help it because I’m tired from work, but he’s snoring really hard…so I want him to sleep with his nose plugged or on his side… HIKAKIN: It’s a bit painful… Mr. Sorimachi: Is it a bit noisy? Mr. Banya: Just a little bit! -Q To Mr. Sorimachi) There is a line in this commercial that says “I have zero anxiety or worries,” but please tell me about something that happened recently that you thought was priceless. Mr. Sorimachi: My daughter is studying abroad, so we sometimes have meals together as a family when she comes back to Japan Last time, I did a commercial for the GTO version for Softbank. It was a special feeling to shoot a limited commercial for the GTO’s return after 26 years. Acting something that has been going on for 26 years is something that even actors can’t do easily, and we wanted to do that as a show I have something very deep in me to create, and I also worked with Softbank in a commercial I think what I was able to do was priceless for me. -Q From Mr. Banya to Mr. Sorimachi) What should I do to become as cool as Mr. Sorimachi and lose the Gakuran button? Mr. Sorimachi: (to Mr. HIKAKIN) Button, what do you think? HIKAKIN: Well, I guess I have no choice but to become a mood maker. My advice isn’t very convincing though (lol) Sorimachi: No, it’s true that being a mood maker is extremely important. (To HIKAKIN) But you’re a mood maker, right? Mr. HIKAKIN: I am not at all. My very close male friend told me to give it to him (lol) Sorimachi: As HIKAKIN said, being a mood maker is important. At any time. Well, I’m sure there will be club activities and other things from now on, but in our time… (to HIKAKIN) What part was it? HIKAKIN: Ski jumping. Sorry, it’s about me (lol) I only play minor sports~ Mr. Sorimachi: I was on the soccer club, though. Banke-san: So popular Mr. Sorimachi: He was a very hard worker (lol), so he was doing extremely hard things…I’m a little far from being popular, but when you enter the first year, there are a lot of seniors you’ve never met before, second and third years. and. Among all of these, there is something quite special about club activities. That’s where you learned about the hierarchy for the first time, right? (To HIKAKIN) Wasn’t there one back then? Mr. HIKAKIN: There are already quite a few. Mr. Sorimachi: When I was in elementary school, I had a lot of freedom, but when I entered junior high school, I learned about hierarchical relationships for the first time through club activities say. When I look back on my club life and school life, which were hard at that time, I sometimes think, “It was really hard at that time But there are moments when I think, “I’m so glad I was able to get through that.” Of course in club activities I think some people quit, but facing it head-on instead of running away from it is something that happens during your student days. I think that’s very important. Mr. HIKAKIN: (to Mr. Banya) If you do that, you will be popular! Mr. Banke: I will! -Q From Mr. Banya to Mr. Sorimachi) I am going to observe classes at school, and I would like to be praised. What should I do? Mr. Sorimachi: (to Mr. HIKAKIN) What do you think? HIKAKIN: Is it me? (Laughs) I guess I have no choice but to say “Yes!” to that question. If you ask me who I am, I can understand more than just sitting there, I’ll say, “Yes!” Mr. Sorimachi: Shouldn’t that be 0? (After the content that appears in this commercial) HIKAKIN: Hahahaha (lol) 0 is the one from this commercial (lol) -Q From Mr. Banya to Mr. HIKAKIN) If I were to become a YouTuber, what kind of career do you think I should do? HIKAKIN: But since I’m used to being in front of the camera, it’s all about doing things that I enjoy, doing things with people, and other things that I like. There are a lot of YouTubers who are the exact opposite, but There are some types who say, “No, I’m embarrassed if I’m not alone…” but (Banke-san) is used to it! Today, there are about 3 to 40 people and we are doing our best! Mr. Sorimachi: Apprentice, apprentice! Mr. Banke: I would like to become your apprentice! Mr. Sorimachi: I’m already living in! HIKAKIN: Hahahaha (lol) I can do it right away, I can do it at all (lol) ■ New TV commercial “Smartphone debut Father’s whisper” version
