In this commercial, “Investing with the Power of the World,” Mr. Saito and Mr. Ikeda, set against the backdrop of various parts of the world, address the various challenges that are currently prevalent in modern times, asking, “Are we okay with continuing as we are?” I ask. And while we are surrounded by blue light, emitting blue light from stock prices and transactions, we will send out the message of “Investing with the power of the world” as the key to surviving these turbulent times.
A commercial for Knockout Option starring Mr. Saito and a commercial for CFD starring Mr. Ikeda will also be released at the same time, both appearing from “inside a smartphone” where all sorts of information is flowing around.

In the making, pay attention to the creation of each person’s serious expressions.
The two perfectly expressed the worldview of the commercial with their gaze, facial expressions, and the way they spoke their lines. When filming solo cuts using projection mapping, staff members were impressed by the serious facial expressions of each person, including anger and sadness. In one scene, Mr. Ikeda smiles and says, “On the contrary, it makes me feel anxious” when the staff cheers for his perfect facial expressions.
The making-of movie contains footage of the two of them making full use of video technology and performing brilliantly during the shooting process, where various instructions were sent to them.

Interview with Takumi Saito
Q1: Please tell us your honest thoughts after filming the commercial and which scenes were most memorable.
A: IG Securities’ commercials have always had a modern, futuristic feel, but this time they are even more focused on the turbulent times of today.
I think it was an essential commercial that forced me to figure out how to survive.
Q2: Please give a message to Elaiza Ikeda, who was photographed on a different day.
A: Since we are really close to each other, we are like close relatives, so her strength as an artist is…
Since they are able to express themselves in any genre, the two of them will be able to support IG Securities in terms of advertising. I am very happy to have him as a partner who inspires me and a strong and wonderful companion.
Q3: Mr. Saito, are you currently making any “investments” in yourself? A: I am realizing more and more every day that my body, physicality, and creativity are directly connected.
I believe that being in good physical condition improves your mental health, which is connected to both your work and private life. I continue to invest in my physical health, keeping it in good condition, including my intestinal health.
Q4: Please give a message to everyone who watches this commercial. A: I think we are currently living in a turbulent era where various challenges are occurring and things are constantly changing. Of course I feel anxious, but I also find myself having the courage to look at myself and take a step forward in these times.
I will never forget this commercial.I performed this commercial in hopes that we can be positive in these times.
I would be happy if this was an opportunity for you.
Interview with Eliza Ikeda
Q1: Please tell us your honest thoughts after filming the commercial and which scenes were most memorable.
A: There were many things that surprised me about the technical aspects, but I was surprised by the values that IG Securities has and what they wanted to raise.
It was like nothing I had ever felt before, as the reality was expressed through the projection and our lines.
I was doing it while feeling a lot of pressure and nervousness. Q2: Mr. Saito and I shot on different days this time, but please give us a word to Takumi Saito.
A: I was also looking forward to the chemical reaction with Mr. Saito’s unique tempo and atmosphere.
I feel a little lonely, but when I use this modern technology to create a picture of the two of them together, it’s all over again. I think there will be a chemical reaction, so I’m looking forward to it. Q3: In line with the line in this commercial, “In order to survive in unprecedented times,” Mr. Ikeda, who continues to be active, is there anything you are careful about or are continuing to do in order to “survive” the industry?
A: Regarding how to deal with prejudice, of course it is important not to be prejudiced, but there are
I think it’s important to learn about the types of prejudices that exist. What is the fixed outline?
By learning that other people are thinking about you and paying attention to what you think,
I think we can have a sense of balance, so we can see what kind of values are accumulated in these turbulent times.
I think this way of thinking is good in a world where we don’t know anything. I think it’s important to just do what we’re doing now and not be afraid to try new ways.
Q4: There was also a message about “the power of the world,” but is there a country or place in the world that you would like to visit? A: I want to go to the ruins anyway. It doesn’t matter which country, but Japan also has wonderful architecture and culture.
Just as there are religions and cultures, there are also cultures and beliefs that countries have built around the world, and by learning about them, I wonder if we can communicate with people on a deeper level and be more sincerely considerate. I don’t think so.
In particular, I want to overcome altitude sickness and go to Machu Picchu. I looked at unexplained things and tried to clarify them using my own values.
stomach. Dreams are big.
Q5: Mr. Ikeda, are you currently making any “investments” in yourself? A: Is it time? When I was a student, I would just stay home on my days off and read books.
However, the busier I get, the more I value my free time. After all, work is all about output.
I feel like I’ll feel empty without input, so I try to stay active even on my days off.
I keep myself busy by going to see things, making things, and experiencing things.
Q6: Please give a message to everyone who watches this commercial. A: There are various problems happening in Japan and around the world right now. What you can do to survive in this situation,
I think this commercial gives people an opportunity to think about what they want to do, what they want to be involved in, and so on. Please take a look.
