I thought the CM was filmed BEFORE he dyed his hair black...but it looks like he had his hair temp colour sprayed or something for the CM,ne. You can see that his hair is shorter than when he was doing Butai, and underneath the blond, you can see dark hair...the styling is different, too...

I actually really like this hairdo and the colour on him...cute...

I especially like it when it is all messed up wearing the headphone when he is recording LOL

Ohno's Voice

 This time, I have really done a lot of things~in one day (laugh).

Still photo shooting for the poster, filming of the ad(CM), and recording of CM song!

That's right. This time I am actually singing the CM song.
The actual song itself is only 10seconds long or so, however, this song was a little difficult as there was almost no place for breathing , and key was quite high as well.

However, it was an easy song to remember, so even after recording  has finished, the tune was going around in my head, making me sing out the tune (laugh).

Also, this time, this CM song can be downloaded!
Please check out the CM as well as my song.

Jun's Voice

This CM's theme is family and mobile phone.
It is me also, but I think men are not really good with speaking with own father over the phone. It is difficult to be oneself (express honest feelings/to be graceful ).

This CM depicts such a businessman.
Being a little tired ...calling his father...but cannot come up with the words and being frustrated with himself ...

However, he feels relieved by one word spoken by his father at the end...

I think to play such a story (about tired businessman calling his father), facial expression and body language are very important, so,  I was very concentrated during the filming.

The character could be a reflection of my self, too. I thought I should call my father every now and then after I finished filming,

after working 9am - 11pm plus 1 hour each way travel from my client's office...am feeling a bit delirious *laugh* but was elated after finding the update on AU site...yay! Translation may be a bit off...but general meaning is correct, I think,ne!

Connect easily (?) value for money
Simple 9 (kyu) 8 (hachi) 0 (maru) is here~

Thanks to mikyuko, I found out that it is really meant to be "Gu" not "Fu"...I swear it sounds more like "FU"!
Also...I have no idea how to translate Otokuni Gutto Tsunagareru...since it does not really mean anything *laugh* "gutto" can mean "grip" or "tight grip" or "grab" or "very" or "extremely" or "a lot" and can add meaning to other words when put together, depending on situation...I think...maybe someone can help? Please?

The sign says "Sukida (I like you)"

The sign says "Gomenne (Sorry)"

The sign says "Arigatou (thank you)"

It says:
New Fee Plan
Simple 980
Born

and bottom left hand side  box says:

Satoshi: Dekita~ (it's done~)

So cuuuuuuuuute~~~~~~xxx

Female reporter: this song's title is "daijina kaiwa (important conversation)"
Once you listen to it, it's hard to forget the tune...

The song has a message /theme and it is  "with simple but heartfelt one word, people can connect...and we want people to connect"

Female reporter: ah~ the warmth is felt from the tune~
Hatori reporter: The song reflects Ohno-kun's character...

Female reporter: really reflect (Ohno-kun's character) so well~
Hatori reporter:really reflect (Ohno-kun's character) so well~

Hatori reporter: Well, after all, he is the leader...although it was decided with rock paper and scissors...

大野智、ソロでＣＭソングに初挑戦

Ohno Satoshi, Solo CM song First Time Challenge

2008年6月9日（月）05:07
9th June, 2008 05:07am

５人組、嵐のリーダー大野智（２７）が８日、ａｕの新料金プラン、シンプル９８０の新ＣＭに出演し、ソロでＣＭソングに初挑戦。
On 8th June, 5 member group Arashi's leader, Ohno Satoshi (27) appeared on AU's new fee plan, SINPLE 980's new  commercial and  for the first time, took on a challenge of solo CM song.

このために作られたオリジナル曲「だいじな会話」で、♪プルルル　プルルル…と弾むような歌声を披露する。
You will be able to listen to his bouncy/buoyant voice, singing  "♪pururururu pururururu" to the original song "daijina kaiwa (important conversation)"  which was composed especially for the CM.

あす１０日から全国一斉オンエア。

The CM will be shown all at once nationally starting from tomorrow on 10th.

*NOT YET CONFIRMED* so don't get too excited...

However, several fans have reported sighting NEW AU advertisement on Tokyu train line train doors. the Ad used to be NinoAi version.

Sightings of this new OhMatsu version ads started on /around 4th June, 2008.

In some train carriages, NinoAi ads are starting to be replaced by OhMatsu version.

OhMatsu version ad features both Ohno and Matsumoto's close up face shot where they have AU  mobile phone on their ears.

Beside Ohno's photo, it says:
『本当に大事な会話は、たいていシンプルだから。』
The most important conversation is usually Simple.
『シンプル980誕生』
Simple 980 is born. (Simple 980 is a new AU mobile plan it is simple and monthly fee is 980yen I think...)

Beside Matsumoto's photo, it says:
『24時間、365日、家族はほんとの味方だから。』
24hours a day, 365days, family is always on your side. (Probably for Shovel/Shaberu series CM)

NOW...the important part...apparently, the ad also states:

『大野智さんが歌うシンプル980のうた"だいじな会話" 着うた配信中』

Simple980 song "important conversation" sang by Ohno Satoshi -ringtone available for Download

Not much information yet...all I could figure out is that Oh-chan will be in Simple980 version CM and he is meant to sing a song called "important conversation" solo and it will be available free for download for AU mobile customers for the limited time...

No news about if it is going to be sold as CD or anything like that...

It seems that it is going to happen (since the do have advertisement stating it) but the news is not yet confirmed at this stage.

I sure do hope this news its true and someone kind will upload "important song" on the net so I can listen to it...xxx
I cannot wait for the TV CM~~~!

I am gonna be soooooooooo disappointed if this is a bogus info...
I nearly did not post this thinking what if it is not for real~~~!?
But I have done the search and there were not many, but few fansites mentioning sighting of this new version ad in trainline...and those fans were not related as in not linked or whatever...so I would say...TRUE,ne!

Fingers crossed...xxx
