★ Making-of and Interview Footage (Excerpt)

The making-of and interview footage for this commercial, titled "Always ColleWE even during filming?! They also talk about players they expect to perform well!", is also released.

As Mr. Arita said, "It's the best kind of set where I don't feel guilty playing 'ColleWE' so much," you can enjoy footage of Mr. Arita and Mr. Yamazaki enjoying "ColleWE" during breaks in filming, and hear them talk about the players and countries they are focusing on for the soccer world tournament.

Q. Which country are you currently paying attention to in soccer?

Arita: As someone who has become more knowledgeable about soccer because I like "ColleWE," it's definitely Japan. This is because truly monstrous (strong) player cards for Japanese players haven't appeared in "ColleWE" yet. As Japanese players get stronger through world tournaments and other events, that will be reflected here (in "ColleWE" player cards), so I'm very interested in who will become a monstrous player card.

Yamazaki: Looking ahead to future world tournaments and the future, it's Norway. The main players in the deck I've built in "ColleWE" are also Norwegian players. It's "ColleWE" that makes you feel like, "I want my main players to perform well!" That's why I'm paying attention to Norway.

Q. Which players are you focusing on in the game?

Arita: I'm paying a lot of attention to Yamal. He's a young player in his teens, and monstrous (strong) player cards haven't been released yet. I'm collecting Yamal's cards, but I haven't encountered a card that makes me say, "What is this card?!"

Yamazaki: For me, it's Messi. While there are many young players, I want a great card that feels like "a card of memory." It's the opposite phenomenon from Mr. Arita. Something like, "Wow, I got an amazing card! Thank you!" at the end.

Q. Please give a message to everyone starting "ColleWE".

Arita: "ColleWE" is a game that even a 50-year-old like me can easily start. And yet, I regularly play against regular people in the middle of the night. I've met various people in the game, and since becoming a "Chief ColleWE Officer," I've also participated in real events. Let's play together. It's definitely fun.

Yamazaki: First, please start playing "ColleWE" and download it. You'll...
