Actor Ryusei Yokohama attended the Fujifilm "instax "Cheki" New Product Launch" held in Tokyo on August 19th, along with Hirose Suzu, who co-stars with him in a commercial. When Yokohama, who is currently filming the 2025 NHK Taiga drama "Berabou ~ Tsutaju Eika no Yumebanashi" in which he plays the lead role, joked, "I want to link up with my co-stars with (the new product) 'Link3,'" the venue was enveloped in an awkward atmosphere.
Hirose laughed and said, "It was a total flop," and revealed, "I asked him backstage, 'Please say it like that,' and he did."
He continued by giving a message of encouragement to Yokohama, who will be turning 28 on September 16th, saying, "You have an image of being a serious person, and if you say something that you normally wouldn't say, everyone gets quiet, so from the time you turn 28, I'd like to see you try to make people laugh and make them laugh."
At the event that day, Yokohama and Hirose actually took photos using the new functions of the Instax in a pop set prepared at the venue.
The smartphone printer "Cheki" that can print images from a smartphone onto card-sized Cheki film, "instax mini Link 3," will go on sale on September 5. The new commercial "Excitement Links" starring Hirose and Yokohama will be broadcast nationwide from September 7.
