SECOM “Dream Showdown” EditionShohei Ohtani, Shigeo Nagashima
Shigeo Nagashima, a baseball player who appeared in SECOM commercials starting in 1990, and Shohei Ohtani, who is currently active in the Major Leagues.
It’s said that Nagashima once received an offer from the Majors, and if he had accepted it—and if their eras had overlapped a bit differently—this kind of dream matchup might have been broadcast.

Nagashima’s appearance from back then is recreated with CGI.
You’re curious how the showdown ends, right? The moment when their voices overlap in the tagline at the end is also moving.
