AGC Co., Ltd. (Representative Director and President: Yoshinori Hirai / Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) will begin airing AGC's new commercial "Let's Experiment! AGC / Glass Core Edition" from Wednesday, April 1st.
In this new commercial series "Let's Experiment! AGC," in addition to actress Suzu Hirose, popular comedy duo Ozwald also appears, following last year. Teacher Suzu Hirose and Ozwald's two assistants, as scientists dispatched to AGC, actually test various materials and realistically demonstrate their "amazingness." The commercial highlights the amazingness of AGC's materials revealed through experiments, the reactions of Suzu Hirose and Ozwald as they take on the experiments, and the perfectly synchronized dance performed by the three in their second year of collaboration. This time, the material is AGC's "glass core," which leverages its technological capabilities as a glass manufacturer to create fine holes at narrow intervals in thin glass substrates. Faced with the surprising fact that countless holes form a picture, the three's reactions are unstoppable, and with comical movements, the line "The holes are tiny!!!" also pops out.
As it was their second year of collaboration, the filming set was amicable throughout. During the dance scene, the three happily practiced together, and Hirose-san called out, "Please don't make any mistakes (laughs)," and even when there were bloopers, the filming proceeded smoothly with smiles and repeated dancing. In the interview, behind-the-scenes stories were shared, such as Ozwald's Ito-san calling Hirose-san "Suzu-sama" in this commercial, as well as episodes related to "something they are intensely focused on" in connection with "glass core" and new beginnings, as the commercial started airing on April 1st.
### Filming Episode
Appearing in AGC's new commercial "Let's Experiment! AGC / Glass Core Edition," following last year, were actress Suzu Hirose and comedy duo Ozwald's Shunsuke Ito and Yu Hatanaka. The three, dressed in lab coats, took on the filming in a full-fledged laboratory setting with experimental tools lined up and a large microscope. From the storyboard explanation stage, the atmosphere was harmonious, with a sense of perfect teamwork unique to their second year together.
The good relationship among the three was also evident during breaks in filming. The scene started with Hirose-san's lines. Her lines while holding the glass with fine holes, called "glass core," were perfect from the first take. After a test, they immediately went into the main shoot. The three's interplay was spot on, and it was an OK in no time.
Hirose-san, who practiced her lines even when the camera wasn't rolling, was truly the cool "Teacher Suzu." On the other hand, in comical scenes where she cheerfully danced with Ozwald, who played the assistants, the three burst into laughter while watching the monitor. Throughout, Hirose-san couldn't help but laugh at their constant comedic banter, which was like a skit.
To convey that the holes are smaller than a strand of hair, in a scene where Hatanaka-san pulls Ito-san's hair, Ito-san resisted, saying, "Stop it!" Then, in response to Hirose-san's line, "It supports the future of semiconductors!" Ito-san immediately retorted, "Don't pull out my future (hair)!" which brought a big laugh to the set.
And the climax was the "AGC Dance" performed by the three. They repeatedly practiced, confirming the timing of the choreography. To the staff's comment, "Hirose-san is perfect!" Ito-san, who was the only one whose timing was off, immediately joked, "Isn't Suzu-sama too fast?" When the staff told them to "enjoy it without being bound by convention," Ito-san replied, "I'll believe you!" After several takes, they finally got an OK from the staff, and Ito-san looked relieved.
The excellent chemistry of the cool researcher and the lively assistants.
