Yoichi) is the fourth commercial of “Yoshitaka Sensei,” in which J:COM’s image character Yuriko Yoshitaka plays an elementary school teacher.
The new TV commercial “Super Fast Transfer Student” promoting “NET Hikari” will be aired sequentially from Saturday, September 14, 2024.
In this new commercial, Hikari Hayai, a transfer student played by Miyuko Ochii, appears in Yoshitaka-sensei’s class. “J:COM” through the transfer student who moves “too fast”
NET’ optical line speed. In addition, the fact that he quickly becomes popular at his new school expresses his desire for J:COM to remain a familiar partner in his life even after he moves to his new place.
* ■CM story*
One day in September, a transfer student came to Mr. Yoshitaka’s class. Her name is “Hikari Hayai”. The moment Yoshitaka-sensei pointed to the seat, everyone jumped to the seat! and instantaneous movement. Yoshitaka-sensei and the rest of the class can’t hide their surprise at how fast they are. Even after that, Hikari’s speed did not stop, and she completed quizzes at the speed of light as soon as the start signal was given, finished her school lunch in “super speed”, and closed the distance with her classmates at the fastest speed, and even changed schools. Even my boyfriend on the first day. As her name suggests, Hikari-san is “too fast” no matter what she does, and Yoshitaka-sensei looks stunned, saying “Too fast.”
The speed of J:COM NET’s optical line is humorously expressed through transfer student Hikari Hayai.
* ■Photography situation/atmosphere, etc.*
Miyuko Ochii, who plays the role of transfer student Hikari Hayai, appears for the first time this time, but from the first take she and Yoshitaka-sensei worked perfectly together! That’s not surprising, as this is actually the second time I’ve collaborated with Mr. Yoshitaka. Hikari’s setting of making friends at the speed of light was true, and it was impressive to see her adapting to the classroom with “super speed.” On the other hand, the students from the first round were not defeated either. This is the fourth installment, and they have become good friends even off camera. During the school lunch scene, we heard conversations unique to elementary school students, such as, “Is this kind of menu served at school?”
Also, since the shooting date was the day before Yuriko Yoshitaka’s birthday (photographed on July 21st), we had a surprise celebration with all the student actors. All the student actors were overjoyed today when they heard Mr. Yoshitaka say, “Let’s all eat cake after this,” in front of a birthday cake with a Yoshitaka-sensei motif. The cake was enjoyed by all the student actors. In an interview after the shooting, Mr. Yoshitaka was very pleased and said, “Because it’s a Yoshitaka-sensei series, even the student actors were able to congratulate me.”

* ■Performer interviews (Yuriko Yoshitaka, Miyuko Ochii)*
* ▽Please tell us your impressions of each other so far and what you think after working together today. *
Mr. Yoshitaka: I’m currently filming a taiga drama, and I was asked to play him as a child, but since we were playing the same role, we never met during filming. It felt strange. It’s like I’m looking at myself when I was little. I was looking forward to it because I had never stood at the same time to photograph the same work.
Mr. Ochii: When I met him once in Taiga, Mr. Yoshitaka talked to me, and I thought he was very cheerful and had great communication skills. I met her today at a commercial shoot, and she’s really cheerful, so I found it easy to get along with her.
Yoshitaka: Today is about the third time we’ve met on site.
* ▽What were your impressions after co-starring in the commercial? * Yoshitaka: It was amazing! I’ve never made a mistake.
Mr. Ochii: But Mr. Yoshitaka too…
Mr. Yoshitaka: I made a mistake, we spoke at the same time. I was surprised to think that today I was able to show off to everyone the results of my hard practice at home. (The fast-talking scenes) were precise and fast, as if a robot was speaking.
* ▽What did you keep in mind when playing the role? *
Mr. Yoshitaka: I think I was able to make it to the end without any worries or concerns, partly because I had known them for a long time. Mr. Ochii: As Mr. Yoshitaka said, once you talk to someone, you start talking like friends, which makes it easier. Hikari-chan was a bright girl, so it was nice to be able to talk to her and get her excited when we weren’t filming.
* ▽What do you find attractive about each other, and what did you learn from each other? *
Mr. Ochii: I’m a shy person, so I want to be like Mr. Yoshitaka, who can talk a lot.
Yoshitaka-san: 90% of the time I only say things that don’t matter (lol) Mr. Ochii: But I want to be like that. I’ve had people talk to me about it on set, so I want to emulate that.
Mr. Yoshitaka: I learned something too, that practice and effort pay off. Maybe it’s because I do this type of work, but I feel calm and mature. If I had met him when we were the same age, I think he would have hated me for being so nervous (lol)
I was able to listen to what the director was saying and what adults were saying, so I tried to talk to them as equals rather than from a child’s point of view, and I was able to talk with the feeling that the audience would understand, so I was very impressed.
* ▽Are there any episodes that left an impression on you during this commercial shoot? *
Yoshitaka-san: It seems like tomorrow is my birthday. I have experience receiving flowers after filming to say thank you for your hard work, but this was my first experience when about 30 energetic children came behind me and brought me a cake. For a moment, is this the afterlife? Was it a teacher at my school? That’s what I think. I thought that this experience was probably only possible because of the J:COM theme, so I am happy that I was able to experience it today. Mr. Ochii: I first got nervous when I was speaking so fast, and I was thinking, “What should I do? There’s so many cameras, it’s going to be dangerous.” I was relieved when the first line was over, but there was more to come.
Mr. Yoshitaka: It didn’t seem like that, it seemed like he was doing it with ease.
Mr. Ochii: Because Mr. Yoshitaka was there.
Mr. Yoshitaka: Really? I thought I was glad I wasn’t in that role (lol)
* ▽If you were to work together in the future, what kind of work and what role would you like to play? *
Yoshitaka: I hope it’s not the same role (lol)
Mr. Ochii: I definitely don’t want to play a role like this, but if we were to work together, I would like to have many opportunities to meet him.
Mr. Yoshitaka: That’s right. But I don’t want to be a teacher, it looks like it’s going to be difficult. Maybe it’s okay to switch places, whether it’s a teacher or a friend (lol)
* ▽From now on, I would like to ask you about the theme of the commercial. * * This is fast for me in everyday life! Is there such a thing? * Yoshitaka: I think the time from when I wake up to when I leave the house is fast. The manager calls me to wake me up 15 minutes before departure. How early do you wake up?
Mr. Ochii: Today I woke up to the alarm about 15 minutes before departure. Mr. Yoshitaka: We’re together (lol)
Mr. Ochii: Let’s leave the meal for later and get ready first. Mr. Yoshitaka: It smells the same (lol)
* ▽Hikari made friends quickly. *
* Mr. Yoshitaka has the image of having many friends, but do you have any stories about how you made friends when you were a child? * Mr. Yoshitaka: I was shy, but I didn’t think it was necessary to get along with everyone, so I found a girl I liked, asked her to introduce me to her friends, and then I started to spread out. I think so. As an adult, if you find yourself shy or unable to make friends, I think you can drink highballs and make friends (lol).
Will Mr. Ochii be able to drink alcohol in another 10 years? Let’s have a drink together.
* ▽What would you like to use the “super-fast internet” for? * Mr. Yoshitaka: I like games, so I’m happy when they’re fast, and when they say “Please wait a little”, I think my turn is over (I get worried). Are you using anything?
Mr. Ochii: I play a lot of games.
Mr. Yoshitaka: It’s important. If you fast forward to the beginning of a movie or video, it will stop. I hope that goes smoothly too.
* ▽Finally, Mr. Yoshitaka, this is your 20th anniversary in the entertainment industry. If you could tell us the secret, what would it be? *
Mr. Yoshitaka: Maybe it’s something to start doing when you’re in high school and not try too hard. After working hard, I thought it would be better to take time to pamper myself without overloading myself. I was tired after sprinting, so I walked and took it easy. That’s not helpful (lol)
