Actor Mei Nagano appeared at Suntory's "Canned Highball Strategy Briefing & Torys New CM Announcement" held in Tokyo on February 13th.
Nagano, who was announced as the first new heroine of the "TORYS" brand in about 15 years, happily reported, "I've just turned 25, and this is my first time appearing in an alcohol commercial! I'm happy and honored to be joining such a beloved brand with so much history. I hope to spread the word about TORYS in a bright and fun way."
She said that he prefers to drink at home, and said, "I usually drink after I finish work and get ready for bed. I drink while watching TV and it makes me want to do my best tomorrow! It's a relaxing moment." She said with a smile that in the future, "It would be fun to invite friends over and have a lively time drinking Torys Highballs together."
During the Q&A session, Nagano was asked, "Please tell us if there is anything you would like to renew in 2025," in reference to the renewal of the Torys highball can. It seemed like the question was unexpected, and Nagano replied, "Eh?! If there is... can you answer that there isn't?", but the questioner asked her to reconsider, saying, "Please spare me that."
"Hmm," Nagano thought carefully, and finally answered, "I want to get a new bed frame." The questioner then went quiet, and Nagano said with a wry smile, "See, that's making the atmosphere awkward (laughs)! I tried really hard to answer because it seemed like not answering was no good!"
When the questioner pressed, "Why a bed frame?", she laughed and said, "It's a good story," and explained, "When I changed the mattress there was a gap. I've filled it with a blanket now, but it doesn't look good, so I'd like to get a new one."
