Akari Kito appears in Sakuma Strawberry Milk commercial

A web commercial titled "Sakuma Strawberry Milk 55th Anniversary: ​​Thrilling Update Mission," starring popular voice actress Akari Kito , known for her role as Nezuko Kamado in the anime " Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba : Kimetsu no Yaiba," has been released on YouTube. In the web commercial commemorating the 55th anniversary of the confectionery "Strawberry Milk" (Sakuma Confectionery), Kito sports a "Seiko-chan cut"-style hairstyle, dressed in a Showa-era idol outfit, and smiles in a room full of strawberries.

The web commercial is a modern homage to the commercial that was used when Strawberry Milk was released in 1970. The music in the commercial was provided by artist Zuma (Nijiiro Samurai).

To celebrate the 55th anniversary of "Strawberry Milk," Sakuma Confectionery will be running the "Tokimeki Update Operation" campaign from September 1st to March 31st, 2026. The campaign will feature content that is a collaboration between Strawberry Milk, which was released in 1970, and contemporary creators.

The "Tokimeki Telephone" project will also be implemented. By calling the phone number that appears at the end of the web commercial from "Tokimeki Telephone" on the "Tokimeki Update Operation" campaign site, you can experience connecting with "Kitou-san from the Showa era."
