The latest “Au no Santaro” features the characters in anime-style

A new CM of the popular “Au no Santaro” series of KDDI commercials is out and this time it features Urashima “Ura-chan” Taro (portrayed by Kiritani Kenta), Momo-chan (portrayed by Matsuda Shota) and Kin-chan (portrayed by Hamada Gaku) sees Daikokuten walking with tail (voiced by Arakawa Yoshiyoshi).

The commercial was made in anime format because the characters were not able to be close together due to the novel coronavirus, so it was chosen to do the CM in anime format.

Kiritani Kenta said of doing a voice-over, “It was difficult because I couldn’t see my face and talked only with my voice, which was difficult.  I am currently spending time at hoime, but I also value the time I’m doing nothing.  Things are getting better and better, so let’s practice good safety measures and do our best”.

Matsuda Shota said, “This time, this is the first anime CM in the five years I have been working on this CM series.  It was the first time in a long time that I performed voice-over, so I tried with a fresh feeling.  Recently, I have been spending time at home, I’ve been thoroughly cleaning the house, something I didn’t really care about.  Everyone has been having  a tough day, but I’d be happy  if you could feel better by watching a Santaro CM”.

The commercial is titled “Tanuki no Shitai” for au PAY.
