During this shoot, we carefully captured moments when Ms. Hayashi looked directly at the camera, making them more captivating and memorable. After sharing the situations in advance, Ms. Hayashi herself creatively adjusted her acting, adding depth to the story. We feel that we were able to bring out new expressions that have not been seen before in both scenes. Also, please pay attention to her beautiful hair, which gently sways in the soft light. The way a person's impression changes with different expressions is also one of the highlights.
【Production Intent】
The concept for "Yanagiya Anzu Oil" in 2026 is "The strength to believe in your 'likes' is pure." The planning background was to be a presence that gently supports and accompanies those who value the strength to believe in their own 'likes' and can choose what they 'like.' We hope you can feel a glimpse of such everyday youth, where people who have their own 'likes' are somehow captivating.
