UQ mobile “Film Shoot” VersionMikako Tabe, Mei Nagano

Mikako Tabe and Mei Nagano crack up after flubbing their lines! The “second daughter” makes a long-awaited return in the UQ Three Sisters commercial. UQ mobile’s new TV ad “Film Shoot” and behind-the-scenes footage.

In the UQ Three Sisters series, the middle and youngest sisters—Mikako Tabe and Mei Nagano—appear in the commercial titled “Film Shoot.” The music used in this ad is “UFO” by Pink Lady, a legendary idol duo representing the Showa era, whose name and sound resemble “UQ mobile.” Released in 1977, the song became Pink Lady’s biggest hit, along with its distinctive dance.

In the commercial, the shout at the beginning of the original track has its lyrics changed to “UQ” to match the company name.

Many people who listened to Pink Lady in real time when the song was first released can probably still perform both the dance and the song perfectly!

Calpis Water “Wholehearted Boy” VersionMei Nagano

Mei Nagano, Masami Nagasawa Calpis Water Commercial & Making-of: “With All My Might, a Boy” Version

This is a cover of ‘Zenryoku Shounen’ by Mei Nagano.

It’s a song that matches the clean, refreshing image of Calpis.

The original has a powerful, encouraging feel, but Mei Nagano’s version of ‘Zenryoku Shounen’ seems to have a delicate touch, doesn’t it? It feels like a song that would be great for everyone to sing at karaoke! It gives the impression of joyfully celebrating youth.

UQ mobile ‘Close-Up on Smartphones & Faces’ EditionKyoko Fukada, Mei Nagano

Kyoko Fukada and Mei Nagano appear as themselves! UQ mobile “Electricity Set Discount” TV commercial: “Close-up on the smartphone and face” version

In the commercial “Smartphone & Face Close-Up,” featuring Kyoko Fukada and Mei Nagano—eldest and youngest of the UQ Sisters—appearing as themselves, the upbeat dance-music-style track used is an original song made for the CM.

Even in the short runtime, the four-on-the-floor beat gets your body moving! The melody combines catchy energy with a cool vibe, and it’s so appealing it wouldn’t be surprising if it were sold or streamed somewhere.

It’s a number that makes you want to keep riding the beat long after the commercial ends.

Mei Nagano Asahi Calpis Brand 100th Anniversary “Graduation” TV Commercial

This is the “Graduation” commercial for Asahi Soft Drinks’ Calpis brand, celebrating its 100th anniversary, featuring Mei Nagano.

A high school girl leaves behind commemorative graduation art, and just as the mood turns sentimental, a chalkboard drawing announcing “We’re having a reunion” appears.

It’s the epitome of youth—a CM that perfectly suits Calpis.

The BGM is UA’s cover of Kenji Ozawa’s 1994 song “Lovely.”
