Once the cameras started rolling, Fujisaki’s expression, a stark contrast to the cute one she had when she first arrived, revealed a cool and powerful look that had the entire staff glued to the monitor. Also, as this was Fujisaki’s first time appearing in a snack commercial, she was nervous about filming the eating scenes. However, from the very first shot, she made a beautiful “crunch” sound as she ate, and the staff burst into praise, saying, “She’s so good…!” The addictive worldview is based on the lyric video for the song “Oni no Utage.” Be sure to pay attention to Fujisaki’s expressions as she becomes addicted to the addictive deliciousness of “Pure Potato Oni no Utage,” as well as the music created by the song and the chewing sounds of chips.

In the interview, she also shares stories about her obsessions with gourmet food and hobbies! Q: Please tell us how you honestly felt when you were chosen to appear in this commercial. This is my first time appearing in a Koikeya commercial. I often see Koikeya’s advertising posters hanging around town and have always wanted to try it myself, so when I heard that it was a new work for Pure Potato, I was overjoyed. When I first heard about this project, I heard that it was based on the theme of “Oni no Utage” (Demon’s Banquet), and when I listened to the song, it made a huge impact on me, so I was really looking forward to seeing what this shoot would be like. Q: Now that filming the commercial is complete, what are the highlights, memorable scenes, and any mishaps that happened during filming or moments that made you laugh? Today’s shoot was the first time I tried Sriracha sauce, and even before that, I was wondering what it would taste like while filming. But when I put it in my mouth, I honestly thought, “What is this addictive taste?” Even during filming, the sound of me chewing became addictive, which was fun. Also, this was my first time doing a food commercial, so I struggled with how to best express the crunchy feeling when you eat it, but the staff around me kept giving me advice like, “It should be like this!”, which was really helpful. Q: What are your thoughts after trying this new product, “Pure Potato Oni no Utage Sriracha Sauce, So Spicy Even a Demon Would Addict”? The moment I took my first bite, I was hooked on the spiciness of the Sriracha sauce, the umami, and the final sourness I felt as I ate it. I thought it was a truly wonderful balance, and I felt like it was the kind of flavor I’d want to eat even after filming stopped. →Q: After tasting this Sriracha sauce, who would you want to try it with? It truly is a “demon feast” As the theme of the dish goes, I thought this must be what it would be like to eat it with my family, and I imagined that even children who don’t like spicy food would enjoy it, as it’s not just spicy but also sweet, so it doesn’t feel spicy but rather more like “Wow! Delicious!” I ate it imagining that both children who like potatoes and those who don’t like spicy food would be able to eat it, as the thickness of the dish would also add to the umami of the potatoes. Q: The commercial is based on the worldview of Tomonari Sora’s song “Oni no Utage.” What were your thoughts when you first heard the song, and were there any points you kept in mind during filming? When I first heard it, I thought, “What a cool song!” and immediately added it to my playlist. The tones and rhythm of the Japanese instruments are so unique and catchy, and the more I listened, the more I wanted to move along with the rhythm. It was an addictive song. The song was playing in the background the whole time we were filming, and it was on repeat in my head, so I was sure it would appear in my dreams that night. Q: Please tell us about any current fads that you’re into. I quite like spicy food, and I prefer spicy foods over super spicy ones. When I go out to eat and someone asks me, “What do you want to eat?” I answer, “Thai food!” I love the heat of spices and cilantro so much that eating Thai food helps me blow away any fatigue and change my mood, so I eat it often. →Q: What’s your favorite Thai food? It’s a tough choice… I really love tom yum fried rice. It leaves a lingering spiciness in your mouth, but it’s so addictive that you just want to keep eating it, so I eat it often. Q: Your first photo book will be released in December of this year. What’s the difference between the commercial and the photo book? What are the points you want people to look out for in particular? This was my first time going to Greece for my photo book. Releasing a photo book was something I’d always dreamed of, but it was also a dream of mine to go to Europe, Greece, so I was incredibly happy to be able to make both of those dreams come true. I think the commercial had a strong vibe, paired with the cool music, but the photo book shows a more natural side of me, closer to my everyday self, simply enjoying a trip. I think I’ve been able to express a different side of myself than in the commercial, so I hope that every time you flip through the pages, you’ll feel like you’re traveling through the streets of Europe and Greece with me. I hope you enjoy both. →Q: What scenery in Greece left an impression on you? The agency I’m currently affiliated with is called Meteora, and it’s located in Greece, and it’s a magnificent clifftop monastery. The view from there is incredible, and when I stood on top of it, I was like, “What is this view? I’ve never seen it before…!” It was a very memorable experience. I haven’t seen any photos yet, but I’d be happy if we could enjoy it together. Q: Has there been a moment in the past year when you felt you have grown in particular, or experienced a change? I’m very happy that over the past year, I’ve met so many different people and been involved in so many different projects, and that these experiences have given me the opportunity to think about what I might do differently and to make the decision to do it. Originally, I was like, “Yes, I’ll try it,” when I was told, but when I said, “I want to do it,” everyone responded to that, and I made a lot of new
discoveries, like, “If I do this, it will be even better like this.” I think there will be more opportunities to learn more things in the future, and I felt like I was able to grasp that in the past year. Also, since I often went to the provinces, I was able to decide, “Let’s take this!” in preparation for the provinces, and I was happy that things went more smoothly.

The rich flavor of the potato combined with the equally robust seasoning creates a satisfying taste in each and every bite, making it the perfect “potato chip treat” for your everyday life. In August 2025, we undertook a full renewal of the brand, completely updating its concept, with the aim of further evolving it. To further promote the new “Pure Potato,” we are collaborating with the song “Oni no Utage.” “Pure Potato,” which allows you to enjoy the addictive flavor of domestically grown sweet potatoes, and singer-songwriter Sora Tomonari’s song “Oni no Utage,” featuring an addictive melody, have teamed up to launch a variety of addictive projects.

collaboration, has been played over 1 billion times on social media and ranked third in the 2024 DAM Karaoke Ranking, attracting a lot of attention, especially among young people. The product packaging incorporates the album cover and lyrics of “Oni no Utage,” expressing its addictive worldview and appealing to not only regular “Pure Potato” consumers, but also fans of the song. The flavor theme for this issue is “Sriracha sauce,” a condiment that has become a huge hit across the United States, with major condiment manufacturers in Japan rapidly commercializing it. Demand for spicy food, which has accelerated since the COVID-19 pandemic, is highly compatible with snack foods. By incorporating the popular condiment “Sriracha sauce,” we’ve created an addictive flavor characterized by the spiciness of chili peppers, the savory flavor of garlic, sweetness, and sourness. Sriracha sauce’s exquisite balance of spiciness, sweetness, and sourness makes it so delicious that even the most discerning person will be hooked once they try it. In addition, starting Monday, October 13, 2025, we will be implementing a “Potato Feast” initiative, increasing the quantity of four standard “Pure Potato” items (Okhotsk Salt and Rock Salt, Dark Nori Salt, Super Consommé, and Yuzu Pepper) by 10%, to boost the brand as a whole. *The scheduled availability period is from Monday, October 13th to Saturday, November 29th, but the availability period may vary depending on the store.
