Actor Masato Sakai plays a banker for the first time since the 2013 hit drama "Hanzawa Naoki" (TBS), in a new commercial for Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation released on October 25th. Sakai plays a banker who draws out customers' concerns with a nod and a smile, and commented that he's "a completely different banker" from Hanzawa, who has a catchphrase like "I'll pay you back twice as much!" The commercials feature two versions: "Someone You Can Talk About Everything With (A Couple's Dream)" and "Someone You Can Talk About Everything With (A Parent's True Feelings)." In the "Married Couple's Dream" version, Sakai plays a banker, silently listening intently to the story of an anxious elderly woman who comes to him for advice. Sakai's smile gradually softens the woman's expression, and she opens up. In the "Parents' True Feelings" episode, Sakai is giving advice to an elderly gentleman he knows about his retirement benefits, and the conversation gradually turns to retirement, with the gentleman letting out something he has never confided to anyone before: "I don't want to be a burden to my son and his wife." Sakai's smile makes the gentleman look relieved and he says, "I feel a little better now," brilliantly playing the banker who opens up to others with just a "yes." Sakai says, "When I played the role of a banker before, it was a completely different character, but through playing this role, I realized there are really many different types of banker roles." The commercial will air nationwide from the 25th.
