Today NTT DoCoMo announced their new winter/spring mobile phones models for the last half of their 2009 fiscal year. Of course there are going to be new commercials with the new models. Horikita Maki, Matsuyama Kenichi and Gekidan Hitori attended the announcement event to present each of their new commercials.
The theme for the new commercials will be "VERSION UP!" with Horikita’s edition being called the "STYLE Illumination" edition. The word illumination is already indicating that we are going to see some Christmas lights, but the warm and fuzzy feeling will even get topped by a supposed boyfriend of Horikita embracing her from behind. It’s a nice short scene that makes it difficult not to get jealous…
Back to the event, Horikita gained a lot of attention with her impressive and gorgeous blue sleeveless dress. In her hand she was holding the model of the STYLE series, F-02B, a phone that even adsorbs some kind of perfume. "That’s exactly the kind of phone a woman needs to express her own individuality." Horikita praised it on stage. "It has so many beautiful shining lights that make it impossible to loose your phone anymore. Just like this phone, I’d like to polish my charms as a lady as well." She continued.
The CM itself is easy to understand, so I won’t explain the story (watch the clip below). Overall there is a very nice athmosphere and her boyfriend embracing her from behind under some Christmas lights. "You really long for a situation like that, don’t you? The sparkling kind of athmosphere." The highlight of that scene is her expression when she’s getting hugged. In case you wonder about that young actor, his name is Kaku Kento. The filming was said to be awkward for both of them. Lucky him!
All 3 commercials will begin being broadcasted throughout November.

2010 New Year’s Postcard Web Short Movie
Here is Fujifilm’s short web movie to promote the annual New Year’s Postcard campaign. It’s 1min long and a must-see for any Maki fan, since it’s starring Maki and Maki only. Have fun!
Horikita Maki’s new dorama, probably
Ohara Masako of comedy duo Kuwabata Ohara wrote an entry titled ‘Tokujou Kabachi!!’ in her official blog (November 9th). She wrote that she will be making a guest appearance in the first episode. The entry was written after the actors met up for an introduction meeting. "Beginning with the main characters Sakurai Sho and Horikita Maki, the rest of the cast members which includes Nakamura Masatoshi and Asano Yuko were all gathered in full force." She also wrote about seeing Maki without make-up. "She still looks the same!! Too cute!!"
‘Tokujou Kabachi!!’, a manga that has been published in weekly magazine ‘Morning’ since 1999 was made into a drama ‘Kabachitare’ by Fuji TV in 2001. The popular series averaged 19.3% in ratings over 11 episodes. ‘Tokujou Kabachi!!’ is a continuation of ‘Kabachitare’ but this sequel is handled by a different station and a completely different cast so it remains to be seen if it would prove to be a hit for TBS as well.
Of course TBS wasn’t that fond with her leaking out their new projects before them, that’s why she eventually had to delete the entry about the new dorama.
