Today actress Aragaki "Gakky" Yui (21) presented the new commercial for the morning blend drink "Asahi 16cha".
Gakky started working as the image character for the drink last year and the newest commercial features the cute actress dancing around in a pajama to Matsumoto Iyo’s song "Sentimental Journey." She does a nice job of parodying the song and the choreography of the song. The stage for the PR-Event was prepped with a bed and Gakky sitting on top of it with 16cha and wearing a striped pajama. "For Yui, it’s 16cha in the morning~," the slogan of the commercial.
An interesting fact is that Gakky wasn’t even born ye when the theme song for the commercial became a huge hit in Japan. "I heard it in other commercial sometimes, so I didn’t completely feel out of place," she said with a smile. Matsumoto himself sent a video message and praised Gakky’s performance, "Her singing and dancing are perfect!"
The new commercial will be on air starting today.
