Actor Mizushima Hiro donned a ninja costume and attempted staged combat in the upcoming CM for "Mobage", a mobile game site. In the CM, while sitting in a train, Mizushima finds a "Mobage" icon on the shirt of the plump man standing in front of him. When he presses the icon, he is transported into the world of the site's new smartphone game "Ninja Royale", which came out on May 12th.

The CM was filmed on an actual train, in between the train's normal route. Mizushima commented, "Like expected, it was hard when there's shaking. The time was also limited so I was nervous, but the filming ended without a problem and (I'm) relieved."

In the last CM, Mizushima was transported to a strange world after touching the "Mobage" icon on an elderly man's forehead. In the ninja world this time, the actor challenged staged combat for the first time. He remarked humbly, "I was tired, maybe because I lack stamina, but the staged combat teacher taught very carefully, so I think I managed it."

The director praised Mizushima, saying, "(He's) fast at remembering the moves. The dangerous feeling (of being cut by the opponent) was there. Excellent. What you'd expect!"

The new "Mobage" CM will be out on May 27th.
