Starring Hiroe Igeta, New TV Commercial for "Blendy®" My Bottle Stick, 'Pop! Sing & Dance' Edition, Released from April 9, 2026 (Thursday)

Ajinomoto AGF, Inc. (President: Norihito Shimamoto; hereinafter, Ajinomoto AGF) will begin airing a new TV commercial, the 'Pop! Sing & Dance' edition, for its "Blendy®" My Bottle Stick series starring actress Hiroe Igeta nationwide from Thursday, April 9, 2026. The commercial will also be available on the official AGF YouTube channel. The "Blendy®" My Bottle Stick series features stick-type drinks for personal bottles that can be made instantly with water. Since its launch in March 2024, the product has been supported by customers for its surprising ease and deliciousness, receiving very high praise from those who have tried it, with subscribers to its mail-order service increasing at more than double the pace of the company's average product*. To convey the refreshing convenience and taste of this product to more customers, we have created a new TV commercial with the tagline, "Instantly ready, refreshingly fragrant, my bottle tea." In this TV commercial, set on an office rooftop, Ms. Igeta and her colleagues, holding "Blendy®" My Bottle Sticks and personal bottles, perform a well-synchronized dance to the tune of the famous classic 'The Entertainer,' which everyone has heard at least once. The dance, set to lyrics originally arranged for the TVCM, is so cheerful it makes you want to get up and move. It expresses the product's key feature: "Delicious tea can be made in a snap! with just water and a stick." In conjunction with the broadcast, a making-of video and a special interview showing the behind-the-scenes of Ms. Igeta's TV commercial shoot will be released on the official Ajinomoto AGF YouTube channel. Please watch this exclusive footage, where you can see Ms. Igeta talking about what she wants to start new this spring. *According to Ajinomoto AGF research
