Double Higashi's First CM Appearance Since Moving to Tokyo! GAPOLI's New Web Commercial to be Released from April 1st (Wednesday)!

The smartphone app 'GAPOLI', operated by Sammy NetWorks Co., Ltd., will celebrate its 3rd anniversary since its service release on Saturday, March 28, 2026. To commemorate this, new web commercials, making-of videos, and interview videos featuring GAPOLI's promotional ambassadors, the comedy duo 'Double Higashi' (Shoi Daito, Ryosuke Higashi), will be released sequentially starting Wednesday, April 1, 2026.

New Web Commercial This web commercial humorously depicts the appeal of GAPOLI with a "school" theme. The setting is a fictional school called 'Gapoli Gakuen'. Higashi of Double Higashi plays the role of the teacher, and Daito plays the role of the student, with their unique fast-paced banter enlivening the work. Mr. Higashi, playing the teacher, enthusiastically explains the mechanism by which GAPOLI allows users to enjoy games and get good deals. The highlights are Mr. Daito's reactions as he is drawn into Mr. Higashi's explanation despite his initial confusion, and the duo's interaction. The commercial is structured to convey the message "Play smartly, get great deals" through comical expressions. Please take a look.

<Comments from the performers> Higashi: It was difficult this time because I was deeply immersed in the role. I was happy because I had never slicked my hair back before! Gapoli is an online game center, and it's great that you can play, and above all, you can exchange items for products, so I hope everyone buys various products at Gapoli Mall and starts their new life! Daito: It was fun to do things I don't usually do, like wearing a school uniform. Higashi has been playing Gapoli for a long time, so I hope he exchanges his items for products soon. Double Higashi: We are in our 13th year, and Gapoli is in its 3rd year. We are moving to Tokyo from April, so we will be closer to Gapoli's headquarters, and we want this year to be a year of even greater leaps!
