The clip below includes the first three CMs that have been already aired – Ohno, Sho and Aiba versions:
Doesn’t the ending for Ohno’s felt like a cliffhanger, love Jun-kun’s reaction! Maybe there will be a part two ne? Also, the Sho’s and Aiba’s ones were mecha cute. I would love them to clean my house and do my laundry once in a while. Just having them smile makes my day a bit brighter.
Making of was also released:

Arashi member Sho Sakurai and Jun Matsumoto made their appearance on the CM production press conference of mobile phone brand “au” in Tokyo. When Sakurai went on the stage, he said: “*+?@^\…” something so mysterious that no one could understand. However, Matsumoto continued saying: “*+?@^\…” and kept audience’ mouths wide open. In fact, it was the “reverse word” which was reversed from the normal-ordered speaking. What Sakurai and Matsumoto just said were: “Hello everybody, this is Sakurai/Matsumoto.” Two versions of the new CM were setting in a motel, and it was the first time to say all the lines in “reverse word” in a CM. Sakurai commented: “It felt like I was speaking a foreign language. And I enjoyed the CM shooting while imaging what I was saying.” To Matsumoto, who has more lines than Sakurai in the CM, “It’s quite difficult because I had never heard about this kind of word. Sometimes it was just frustrating. But it was fun anyway.”
The new CM will be on air from May 30th. A “reverse video” will be also available on au’s official website from June 5th.
Sakumoto are so cute, did you see them on the bed?! Love Jun-kun outfit btw! XO Finally, they are enable to incorporate gyakukaiten into mainstream TV. Now, all they need to let the masters (Ohmiya) take over and show us their power of the reverse language. I sure miss those D no Arashi days, doesn’t it give you an urge to rewatch them now?
