A giant-sized Masashi Sada forgets the lyrics and saves Junretsu from a pinch. A huge thank you to the “Japanet Profit Return Festival” TV commercial has been released.
JAPANET HOLDINGS CO., LTD. Press Release: October 14, 2025 A giant-sized Masashi Sada forgets the lyrics and saves Junretsu from a pinch. The “Japanet Profit Return Festival” TV commercial, delivered with immense gratitude, has been released. Japanet Takata Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Sasebo City, Nagasaki Prefecture / President and CEO: Asahito Takata) will be holding the 27th Japanet Profit Return Festival starting Tuesday, October 14, 2025. The Profit Return Festival is a campaign in which Japanet expresses its gratitude for customers’ patronage over the past year, and will feature a lineup of popular products sold at special return festival prices. In addition, two prize contests are being held. We’ll be giving away “Yuko Yuko” coupons worth a total of 100 million yen, which can be used for stays at hot spring inns across the country, as well as a free invitation to Stadium City Hotel Nagasaki for 100 couples (200 people). This offer is open to anyone, including those who have purchased a ticket.

The three members of Junretsu sing while surrounded by giant home appliances, and there’s even a scene where Ushirogami is fanned by a giant electric fan. ■Junretsu’s Shirakawa “forgets” about the prize draw in the middle of singing. In fact, the commercial uses an episode from his own experience.

In the commercial, Shirakawa reenacts an old story from a Junretsu concert, where she got so nervous in front of the audience that she forgot the lyrics and sang the first verse three times. The scene where she forgets the lyrics flowed so naturally that it was approved for the take, eliciting laughter from the Junretsu members and staff. This is also discussed in the making-of interview, so be sure to check it out. ▼The interview footage is also full of highlights ■”I forgot the lyrics more than once, and we even had comedy-like mishaps on stage.” In the interview shown in the behind-the-scenes footage, in reference to the story of this commercial, the question is asked, “Do you ever forget the lyrics?” Sada answers, “More than once (laughs),” and shares an off-stage conversation in which he once tripped while holding a bouquet and disappeared behind the curtain. We’ll also see Ushirogami expressing concern for Shirakawa, who replies, “Lately, I can’t even remember the first verse of the song…” ■What would you like to see enlarged? “Salmon,” “bath,” “airplane,” “gold bar” With “enlargement” being the keyword for this commercial, we asked people what they would like to see enlarged. Sada’s favorite food is “salmon,” while the three members of Junretsu chose answers that reflected their personalities, ranging from more realistic topics like “baths” and “airplanes” based on their height to “gold bars.” ■ Junretsu’s Ushirogami talks about his newlywed life, revealing, “I gave him sneakers as a gift because I wanted to wear them together,” and includes a multiple-choice quiz In honor of the Profit Return Festival, we asked two questions. “How would you express your gratitude to your family?” To the question, “What would you do if you fell in love at first sight while shopping?” Ushirogami answered, “It was a gift,” and said, “I gave my wife, Yokoyama Yui, a pair of sneakers as a gift because I wanted to wear them together,” sparking newlywed talk, to which leader Sakai revealed his true feelings, saying, “That’s nice, newlyweds can get by with just sneakers…” When asked, “What would you do if you fell in love at first sight while shopping?” Ushirogami answered, “It’s an impulse buy,” and said, “We both buy what we like, and we don’t consult our wives,” to which Sada then commented, “I guess as time goes by, it will change to ‘consulting first’…” to which Sakai replied, “That’s it!” Enjoy the excitement of newlywed talk. ■CM Main Footage/Making-of Video

This three-member mood song chorus group is centered around former Super Sentai hero actors. The members are Sakai Kazuki (leader), Shirakawa Yujiro, and Ushirogami Shota. They made their major debut in 2010. With the goal of “dreaming of being a filial son to their parents on the Red and White Song Battle,” they steadily worked at hot spring facilities, attracting attention as “super bathhouse idols” and being featured on numerous television programs. In 2018, 11 years after the group’s formation, they made their first appearance at the 69th NHK Red and White Song Battle, and have continued to perform there for seven consecutive years. They will perform at the Nippon Budokan for the first time in November 2024. They will celebrate their 15th anniversary since their debut in June 2025. ■27th Japanet Profit Return Festival Overview ―――――――――――――――――― ▼Campaign special site
