Perfect Suntory Beer “My Way of Drinking” 15-sec – Masato Sakai, Koji Yamamoto, Nao – Suntory CM

The three people enjoying beer deliciously while eating Genghis Khan (grilled mutton) at a restaurant are Masato Sakai, Koji Yamamoto, and Nao.

They’re fully enjoying their meal with the happy combination of meat, rice, and beer.

The reason they can enjoy it so much is that the beer they’re drinking has zero carbs! The BGM is “Dschinghis Khan,” in reference to the Genghis Khan dish they’re eating—a song performed by a West German group in 1978.

Suntory Green Tea Iyemon: “Savor Iyemon. Restaurant” VersionMasato Sakai, Kotone Furukawa

SUNTORY Iyemon TV Commercial: “Savor Iyemon. Restaurant” version, 15 seconds

This commercial depicts an exchange between Masato Sakai and Kotone Furukawa set in a restaurant.

When Sakai says, “Can I get a white?” Furukawa recommends a chilled Iyemon tea, replying, “The green is better than the white.” When Sakai responds, “That’s impossible,” the other customers all turn to look at him at once.

With a flustered expression, Sakai wonders if he’s the one saying something strange.

It ends with Sakai, still bewildered, clinking glasses with Furukawa while holding a wine glass filled with Iyemon.

It humorously conveys that Iyemon is a perfect companion to meals.

SUNTORY Iyemon TV commercial: “Savor Iyemon. Don’t just chug it.” 15 seconds

This commercial has a distinctive atmosphere, with a memorable exchange between Kotone Furukawa and Masato Sakai.

Furukawa plays a ryokan attendant in Kyoto, while Sakai plays a guest.

Speaking in the Kyoto dialect, Furukawa points out to Sakai—who has visited Kyoto many times—that he’s never tried Iyemon tea, which flusters him.

Near the end, she offers him an Iyemon, and Sakai appears ready to drink it, but he never lets go of his tense expression.

The quiet conversation carries a taut undercurrent, and the interplay between the two is strangely addictive.

McDonald’s Japan Samurai Mac: “Savor the grown-up deliciousness”Masato Sakai, Ryuya Wakaba

McDonald’s Samurai Mac Commercial “Enjoying a Grown-Up Deliciousness” 30 seconds

This commercial features Masato Sakai and Ryuya Wakaba as a boss and his subordinate, depicting their bond and the presence of McDonald’s that has supported them.

In a scene where Sakai and Wakaba exchange words as they leave the company, it conveys their perspectives on how they will walk through the rest of their lives.

It pairs the mature taste of the Samurai Mac with a mature way of living, delivering a positive emotional message.

Open House “My Home Man Collaboration” EditionMasato Sakai, Kaoru Okunuki, Chinatsu Yui Fujimoto

[Open House] TV Commercial – My Home Man, Cooperation Version (30 seconds)

In this series depicting Masato Sakai as a “My Home Man” protecting his under-construction dream house from kaiju, the battle with the monster continues this time as well.

Now that the house is finally taking shape, the kaiju fights back more fiercely, and just when things get dangerous, there’s an unexpected twist: his daughter appears, suddenly grown to giant size.

It’s moving to see the daughter—who had been rebellious toward her father until now—speaking to the kaiju, but the tone also turns comical when the monster bites her arm and head, causing her to get angry just like her father.

Sakai’s ineffably bewildered expressions are another delightful touch that will make you laugh.

SoftBank commercial Shirato Family Mystery Train: “Rei Kikukawa’s Interrogation” 30-second version

This is a SoftBank commercial that incorporates a parody of the Hazuki Loupe ads.

It’s one entry in the “Shirato Family Mystery Train” series, where Rei Kikukawa is questioned by a detective played by Masato Sakai.

In it, Kikukawa steps on a smartphone left on a chair and lets out a little “Eek!”, and she recreates elements from her Hazuki Loupe appearances, saying lines like “Lovely” and “I love it.” It’s a playful CM that shows the fun spirit of both SoftBank and Hazuki Loupe!

Open House My Home Man “INNOVAS” EditionMasato Sakai, Ryuji Akiyama

[Open House] TV Commercial – My Home Man: INNOVAS Edition

This commercial features a surreal world where Masato Sakai grows gigantic to protect his own land.

In this episode, while he fights to keep monsters from entering the plot where he plans to build his home, a commercial featuring Ryuji Akiyama can be heard.

As he battles with a single-family house in mind, he hears information that a condominium is also an option, and his face shows confusion.

The lightly spoken narration, his seemingly exaggerated look of surprise, and the battle with the monster together create a comedic atmosphere through their abundance of information.
