■ “(What are your memories of club activities?) I was really keen to join the volleyball club, but in the end I joined the Leaders instead. The activities of the Leaders were my club activities.” (SUZUKA)
A special edition of the web commercial “Youth is Heart-Pounding” for Bourbon’s new product in the “Fettuccine Gummy” series, “Fettuccine Gummy Shine Muscat Flavor” (on sale September 24th), starring the New School Leaders, has been released.
■ Story
Suddenly, SUZUKA appears from the cleaning supplies closet in the classroom, shouting “What is youth?”. Then, RIN, KANON, and MIZYU appear from various places in the school, such as the music room, art room, and science room, shouting “What is youth?”, and the four of them move around the school while dancing. They feed the teachers, students, and even the human body model one after another with Fettuccine Gummy, making them “swoon”. When they reach the music room with a rotating mirror ball, at the end, not only the new school leaders but also the students who are “swooning” start dancing together, and they strike a pose in unison, shouting “Sweet and sour fruity! Bourbon Fettuccine Gummy!” The original song and dance are both powered up, appealing to the charm of “Sweet and sour fruity Fettuccine Gummy”.
■Highlights
New School Leaders, who have gained popularity for their powerful, sharp dance moves and overwhelming singing voices, continue to appear in this web commercial. As with the previous one, popular music producer yonkey has also produced the song for this one. The song from the previous commercial has been remixed, and the dancers perform to the original, more powerful song. Keep an eye out for the powerful four who run out of the classroom and move freely around the school, including the music room, art room, and science room, as well as their powerful dance, which was completed on set with the input of New School Leaders.
■ Filming episodes
This was the second time that Atarashii Gakkou no Leaders appeared in a commercial for “Fettuccine Gummy”. This time too, they arrived on set with bright smiles and energetic greetings, bringing energy to all the staff. As soon as the cameras started rolling, they switched to concentration mode and approached the shoot with agile movements and sharp dance moves. Their movements were unwavering for even a moment, and they showed a professional attitude.
In between takes, the members looked relaxed and were seen enjoying the new Shine Muscat flavored product. At the same time, their service-oriented attitude, always attentive to those around them, was also evident, as they proactively talked to the staff. The filming proceeded in a calm atmosphere from start to finish, due to their outstanding teamwork, which highlighted their friendship, and once again the charm of the New School Leaders was on full display.

MIZYU:That’s right. BOUNCE BOUNCE! SOUR SOUR! Something like that.–In the web commercial, you were seen feeding people around you “Fettuccine Gummy” and dancing on stage, showing your free-spirited side. What kind of students were you actually?
MIZYU:I felt free.
