Interview translation:
Q. What are your thoughts on your first TV commercial appearance?
Tak: Since it’s our first time, I didn’t know what to expect, so I was a little bit surprised by the speediness of the crew as well as their planning. I enjoyed it.
Koshi: The location of the filming was a place where there’s nothing at all. We have been to such places before, but there have been a lot of staff members and because of that it turned out to be a very pleasant experience and I’m thankful for that. Thank you very much.
Q. What do you think about the fly-by shot?
Tak: I was really surprised by that one. I didn’t think they would come so close. I bet I look so surprised there that perhaps you can’t use that scene.
Q. About the song in the commercial “Sayonara Kizu Darake no Hibi yo”
Tak: First we talked about [the commercial] and had a look at the storyboard. When I composed the song, I felt it had to be speedy and fresh and the like. That’s what I realized.
Koshi: Before we actually went into the studio, we bought Pepsi and while drinking it – this is real, by the way – we composed the song in the studio. Also this is our first try at doing something like this and a part of last year was dedicated to our solo projects, so I think the link between our solo and our band works is well done because we were able to go back to producing songs as a band right after that.
Q. A message to the fans
Tak: It’s the first time we’ve done something like this and I think this song turned out great. Please look forward to checking it out! Thank you.
Koshi: A lot of people have put their work into this song, so I think it’s a wonderful piece of work. Please look forward to checking it out!
Details About Pepsi Nex CM
News There are a few facts that have been left out in the previous post. It is actually B’z first appearance on a TV commercial. They will perform their song “Sayonara Kizu Darake no Hibi yo” throughout the commercial which is shot in the wilderness. The two will be accompanied by model Leyna Kagami. (actually her name is “Reina” not “Leyna”, but Japanese can choose their English names…)
Now that Pepsi’s site has also been updated, you can watch the making of the commercial there. You will be able to hear more parts of the song – with singing, too. I have it right here for your convenience:
