[Lottery Commercials] Popular Ads and Historic Commercials Summary [2026] (61–70)

“Loto-motachi Appears” VersionTsuyoshi Kusanagi, Goro Inagaki, Shingo Katori

Loto Series: The Loto Friends Debut

This is the Lotto 6 lottery commercial “Loto-motachi Appear,” featuring Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, Goro Inagaki, and Shingo Katori.

The three wear outfits with numbers that represent their names and chat about them.

Since Lotto 6 is “a lottery where you choose numbers,” they talk fondly about numbers and whether their names really work as numbers.

Inagaki is Goro, so 56—very simple, they say.

Katori is Shingo, so 405, but Kusanagi points out it’s a stretch to read the zero as an “n.” And Kusanagi himself is Tsuyoshi, so 244.

When he says, “Isn’t that perfect?” the other two can only agree, and he dubs himself the “Loto-motachi Bancho.” It has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it? Loto-motachi Bancho!

“Loto Friends Circle: Cleopatra” EditionGoro Inagaki, Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, Shingo Katori

Loto 7: The Circle of Loto Friends – Cleopatra Edition

This is a commercial for the Lotto 7 lottery that aired starting in June 2018.

It features three former SMAP members—Goro Inagaki, Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, and Shingo Katori—who now perform as Atarashii Chizu (New Map).

In the ad, Cleopatra is turned into the number sequence “9008106” and certified as a “Roto-motachi” (Lotto buddy).

There’s a sharp quip that if you read the number 6 as “ra,” then Inagaki Goro’s 56 would be “Gora,” right?

“Samurai: Year-End Party Mini A” version (now on sale)Koji Yakusho, Haruka Shimazaki, Miwako Kakei, Nora Hirano

3 commercials: Year-end Jumbo Lottery CM, Haruka Shimazaki, Koji Yakusho, “Samurai: Year-end Party” version

This is the 2018 lottery commercial, “Samurai: Year-End Party.” Koji Yakusho plays a samurai who time-travels to the present day.

He joins a hot-pot year-end party with Haruka Shimazaki, Miwako Kakei, and Nora Hirano.

It’s a period-drama gag when Koji Yakusho is surprised by Miwako Kakei taking charge as the ‘nabe bugyō’ (hot-pot magistrate).

Inspired by someone fanning themselves with lottery tickets spread out like a folding fan, Nora Hirano breaks into a bubbly Juliana dance, evoking the 1980s.
