A new training scenario for the popular smartphone game "Uma Musume Pretty Derby," titled "Welcome to the Training Center! ~I've Started Paying Back~," was released on June 29th, and a TV commercial featuring JRA (Japan Racing Association) jockeys Yutaka Take and Christophe Lemaire began airing.
The commercial features a newly recorded song that pays homage to the hit song "Ramen Daisuki Koike-san no Uta" by the band Sharan Q, with jockey Christophe Lemaire passionately singing "Yutaka-san, Yutaka-san, I love you."
Jockey Yutaka Take slurps ramen with apparent enjoyment, and various versions of Take from past commercials also appear, conveying the rich flavor. Jockey Christophe Lemaire plays four roles: vocalist, guitarist, keyboardist, and drummer, sporting unique and eye-catching costumes.
On set, jockey Take enthusiastically declared, "I love ramen!", and during filming, he reportedly slurped the noodles with a smile, saying, "It's delicious." In the final scene, where jockey Lemaire enters the restaurant and is surprised by Take's ramen, he delivered a lively performance, and the filming wrapped up smoothly in a friendly atmosphere.
