https://youtu.be/J3gdwYfWmFo 30 seconds: https://youtu.be/xgNX1nD7NUE 【Filming Site Report】 This is the first time they’ve appeared together in a TV commercial in about 30 years! Pay attention to the three’s outstanding teamwork. Isono, Morio, and Matsui entered the studio, their voices filled with laughter. They greeted the staff with a cheerful, “Nice to meet you!” When Isono spotted the behind-the-scenes camera, she struck a fighting pose and declared, “I’ll do my best!”, brightening up the atmosphere on set right from the start. This was the first time the three had appeared together in a commercial in about 30 years, but their long history together made for a great display of harmonious dialogue. In a scene where they confide their worries about oral care, their well-paced exchanges, with lines like “I get anxious,” and “I know!”, earned the director his stamp of approval, saying, “You’re in perfect sync! OK!” Also, while they were waiting, they chatted in a relaxed, harmonious atmosphere, exchanging comments like, “The colors on the set are so cute!” and “How are you doing lately?” Meanwhile, there was a moment when Isono herself said to the director, “That cut didn’t work out! Let me try again!”, and Morio, an experienced actor, gave the two acting advice. We also got a glimpse of their sincere attitude toward making this TV commercial even a little better.

Was Kiyono at a loss for words as the three bombarded him with questions?! Kiyono entered the studio midway through filming, wearing a fresh green jacket and pants. When the three noticed Kiyono after returning to the studio, Isono smiled and said, “We’re letting you join us (in the TV commercial)!” They continued to show great interest in Kiyono, saying, “So you have a jacket!” and “Your skin is so smooth! It’s so beautiful!” Even while they were waiting for the shoot, Kiyono was curiously talking about her past work, asking, “That movie was great, wasn’t it? It was amazing. How old were you then?” The conversation was lively and in a friendly atmosphere throughout.

Thank you for your hard work on the commercial shoot! This marks Seino’s second year in the industry, and the theme this time was “Chew and brush. A new habit to reduce plaque.” This was her first time appearing alongside Isono, Morio, and Matsui. The costumes were also adorable, inspired by “Xylitol Oratect Gum”! What were your thoughts after filming? Kiyono: I’m really happy to be able to appear in a commercial for the second year in a row. For this commercial, I tried to make sure that the theme of “Chew and brush, a new habit that reduces plaque” was conveyed clearly to everyone watching, and I also paid close attention to the lines that are difficult to pronounce. (About filming with the three of them) I was nervous, but they were all so kind and welcoming and helped to make the shoot a lot of fun! 2. This time, for the “Xylitol Oratect Gum” commercial, you were filming with Nana Kiyono and three other people you’ve known for a long time both professionally and personally. What are your thoughts after completing the shoot? Morio: It was my first time meeting Kiyono-san, so I was a little nervous. I’m always with (Matsui) Naomi-chan and (Isono) Kiriko-san, but we’ve never met in an environment like this, so it was a fresh experience. Our generation is experiencing a lot of oral problems, so I feel like adding this new habit of “chewing and brushing” is a perfect fit. We all had a great time filming, constantly saying things like, “This is definitely a good idea!” 3. The commercial includes the message, “Even with good care, plaque and anxiety still appear.” Have you ever felt anxious about your oral care routine and wondered, “Is this enough?” If so, what was that moment? Kiyono: During filming, I’m often in close proximity to other people, so even when I’m brushing my teeth, I sometimes feel anxious. I think Xylitol Oratect Gum keeps my mouth fresh and gives me a sense of security. Isono: I love to talk, and I often laugh with my mouth wide open, so I’m always concerned about the condition inside my mouth. Even if I brush my teeth thoroughly in the morning, I often feel a fuzzy, dull feeling in my mouth between brushings, and this has become more pronounced as I get older. 4. The commercial proposes “Chew and brush. A new habit to reduce plaque.” After experiencing the “chewing care” with Xylitol Oratect Gum, could you tell us if you have had any specific results or impressions, such as “I feel more positive about my usual tooth brushing”? Has it changed your awareness or confidence about your mouth? Kiyono: When I’m shooting for a long time, I get mentally exhausted, but when I chew Xylitol Oratect Gum in between work, I feel refreshed from the inside out. This gum keeps my mouth fresh and calm, so I can finish filming feeling refreshed. It’s become an indispensable part of my life now. Matsui: When I brush my teeth, I sometimes feel like I have to do it all the time, but if I chew gum regularly and keep myself conscious, my body starts to move more easily when I brush my teeth.

In reference to the commercial’s “new habit of reducing plaque,” have you added any new habits to your daily life that made you feel better or more positive? We’ve prepared a flipboard for you to use! Morio: “Radio calisthenics.” It doubles as a morning stretch and exposes me to the morning sun, so it makes me feel like the day has started, and I think it has a positive effect on my body’s internal clock. It’s also fun to chat with friends in the park. Isono: For me, it’s “wild bird photography.” I go into nature early in the morning, search for birds, and take photos. When I get a good shot, I feel a real sense of fulfillment! It’s just like the chewing care of “Xylitol Oratect Gum,” where just chewing it leaves your mouth feeling clean and refreshed, giving you a sense of confidence! (lol) Matsui: “Sauna.” I don’t go in so hot that I sweat, but I get out when I feel it’s hot, then I jump into a cold bath and enjoy the fresh air. It really does make me feel refreshed, just like “Xylitol Oratect Gum,” and it boosts my confidence! (lol) Kiyono: “Walking.” I used to run, but recently it’s been so hot that I’ve switched to walking. When I walk outside, I can hear the sounds of summer, like the chirping of insects and birds, and it feels great. I walk about 3 to 5 kilometers, and once I’ve reached 3 kilometers, I start to sweat, and the feeling of it cooling down afterwards is so good I can’t stop. It makes me feel so positive! 6. The concept of Xylitol Oratect Gum is to “prevent the formation of troublesome plaque,” but could you tell us about any “troublesome things” that have happened to you recently? We’ve also prepared a flipboard, so please write on it! Morio: “The number of glasses has simply increased.” I use three pairs of glasses: one for distance, one for nearsightedness, and one for sunglasses, but they all use the same glasses case, so I can’t keep track of which is which in my bag (laughs). Isono: “Sunburn.” I love the outdoors and do birdwatching and mountain climbing, so I’m very concerned about sunburn. I try my best to protect myself from the sun by applying sunscreen, taking vitamin C, and using face masks that only cover my eyes. But the outdoors are more fun than getting sunburned, so I wish I didn’t have to worry about sunburn. Matsui: “A visit from my son.” I have a 29-year-old son, and he calls me in the morning asking, “Are you here today?” When I answer, “Yes,” he says, “Okay, I’ll be there!” Then he arrives around 7 p.m…. During that time, I can’t go to the supermarket (because he might come), so I have no choice but to wait. Then he comes around 7 p.m. and asks, “Do you have anything to eat?” When I answer, “No, I don’t,” he says, “Didn’t you know I’d be hungry?” (laughs) But it’s a fun hassle. Kiyono: For me, it’s the rolling wheels on my suitcase. I love traveling and go often, but it’s a pain to have to clean the rolling wheels every time I come back. I recently found out about a kind of guard that covers the wheels, so I bought one! I’m looking forward to using it on my next trip. Image

This time, we had the three of them talk about a topic collected from people who have concerns about oral care and other topics! Isono-san: First off, this. “In your message this time, you mentioned ‘new habits to reduce plaque,’ but I’m having a hard time reducing the amount of stuff I own. How do you declutter?” ” I don’t have a washing machine right now. I got rid of it. I hand wash my clothes at home, but it’s such a pain to wring them out, so I started by decluttering my bath towels. I basically just use face towels now. I give them away or throw them away. Matsui: How long has it been since you got rid of your washing machine? I admire that. Isono: It’s been a while, but it’s okay. I’ve been doing fine without a washing machine this summer too. The house is so much neater now. (Morio) Yumi-chan, you’ve been practicing the KonMari method for a long time, right? Morio: Yes, I do declutter, but I end up putting new things in the empty space (laughs). So even after decluttering, it always ends up being filled with something. Isono: I know what you mean! Naomi… I have the impression that you’re always very organized. In a good way, I get the feeling that you don’t own many things. For example, you don’t have paper bags at home, do you? I’m surprised! Matsui: I have a few paper bags (laughs). I’m decluttering… I throw away everything. I throw away everything from my parents’ house, so I don’t get called around much these days (laughs). Morio: Even things from my parents’ house!? (lol) Isono-san: Continuing with this. “As I get older, I find myself worrying more and more about my mouth, and it’s annoying. How do you all take care of your mouth?” I get my teeth cleaned at the dentist. They regularly check for periodontal disease and do a lot of other things. Matsui: I do a combination of everything. Flossing, toothbrushing, and cleaning. Daily care is truly the most important thing. Isono-san: Now for your final concern. “Chewing and brushing is a new habit for reducing plaque, and the commercial recommended chewing gum for gum care. When do you want to chew gum?” Matsui: Always! Morio: That’s right. I always stumble over my words. Mr. Isono: I also keep a bottle of gum at home. You can change your mood and refresh yourself, and before you know it, you’ll be chewing on it whenever you want. That’s why I actually want to eat it even now (while filming). Anyway, I’m chewing all the time. I definitely recommend it when you want to change your mood. Refreshing is amazing! *Chew 2 tablets for 5 minutes at a time and consume 5 times a day.
