Eiji Akaso and Omoinotake star in new Bourbon Alfort commercial
Actor Eiji Akaso and the three-member band Omoinotake have made their first on-camera appearance together in a new television commercial for Bourbon’s ‘Alfort Mini Chocolate’. While the two have collaborated for three years—with the band previously providing only written songs for the brand—this new campaign, titled ‘Ano hito mo Alfor-to to’ (That person is also an Alfort member), features them appearing together on screen.
The commercial features the song ‘Orbit’, a new track written by Omoinotake specifically for this campaign. The production utilized LED virtual production technology to create realistic visual environments. To commemorate the collaboration, a special live performance of ‘Orbit’ will be released on Bourbon’s official YouTube channel.
During the shoot, Akaso expressed excitement about meeting the band, noting their impressive presence when performing. Members of Omoinotake shared their joy at finally meeting Akaso in person, mentioning they had often composed music with him in mind.
