Actress�Amami Yuki and pro golfer�Ishikawa Ryo have been chosen as new CM characters for "XYLITOL Gum" (Lotte), and Amami showed up at the press conference held on February 7th.

Unfortunately, Ishikawa is currently in the United States, therefore, he made an appearance through a video message. �Ishikawa confessed about his impression of Amami, "Because of her dramas, I had a bit of a scary image of her." �Amami answered, "I'm not scary~. �I want to tell him directly if I have a chance to meet him...but what would I do if he still thinks I'm scary..."

In the CM, Amami plays a news anchor, and although they co-star in the CM, the shoots were held�separately.

The new CMs, "Naze, Tokuho ka? Version" and "Tsuyosa no Himitsu Version", will start airing on February 14th.
