Actresses�Sasaki Nozomi, Nagasawa Masami, Takei Emi, and professional golfer�Ishikawa Ryo will be starring in Lotte's Mother's Day campaign CM "Mother's Day 2012".

The CM is a part of Lotte's annual "Mother's Day Ghana" campaign that has been airing every year since 2003. With 8,000 red carnations in the background, Sasaki, Nagasawa, Takei, and Ishikawa will each express their feelings of gratitude toward their mothers with 'Ghana Milk Chocolate'. The background music is 'Taisetsu na Hito',�provided by rock band Rake.

Ishikawa reflected on the CM shoot saying, "I challenged myself at the shoot imagining that my mom was really on the other side of the camera." In the CM, he delivers a message to his mom saying, "Usually, I'm not able to say things honestly... so this year is this."

Meanwhile, Takei says, "The times I laughed together with my mom. The times we cried together. They're all my treasures. This..."

During an interview after the CM shoot, Takei recalled memories of her mom, sharing, "I'm from Nagoya, so when I came to Tokyo from Nagoya, I came with my mom and left my dad behind. At that time, my mom and younger sister came with me just for my work. It made me remember the time I cried with my mom in the shadows, saying 'let's do our best together'."

Sasaki seemed embarrassed to express her feelings on camera and sent out a message in Akita dialect. Nagasawa expressed, "When I become a mother, I'm going to boast to my children. About mom."

Lotte's new Mother's Day CMs will air nationwide starting April 22nd, but you can check them out on Lotte's official website!
