After filming, the two looked back on how difficult it was to film this scene, but they were satisfied with the result, saying, “The costumes, the angle of the bodies, making sure you could stick out your index finger without covering it, and the timing of when the two of you put your hands together…It was perfect.” It seems that it has become.

■Meguro Ren & Sakuma Daisuke interview
Q. How did you feel when you were chosen to appear in the “LINE: Disney Tsum Tsum” commercial?
Sakuma:I was happy. Huh! Tsum tsum! That’s what I thought (laughs). I was playing it a lot, and my mother was also playing it all the time, and the other day when I opened it (Tsum Tsum), my mother was above me in the rankings… First of all, I want to surpass my mother.
Meguro:I was happy that the two of us were able to shoot the commercial for Tsum Tsum, which has been loved for a long time and is celebrating its 11th anniversary.
Sakuma:January 29th marks Tsum Tsum’s 11th anniversary, and our debut date (Snow Man) will be our 5th anniversary on January 22nd, so I thought it would be nice to have an anniversary so close to ours. I hope we can celebrate together.
Q.What is your favorite Tsum in “LINE: Disney Tsum Tsum”?
Sakuma:I’m Maleficent. Because she was unrivaled for a while in Normal Maleficent.
Meguro:It’s a very strong image.
Sakuma:I really like it and still favor Maleficent.
Meguro:I really like Buzz Lightyear, and using Buzz as a Tsum is my favorite.
Sakuma:The atmosphere is buzzy today too.
Meguro:I’ve been conscious of this since I left home.
Sakuma:Is that why? I almost called him “Buzz” by mistake today (lol).
Q. How do you feel after filming the new commercial?
Sakuma:It was fun. It was a commercial with quite a lot of movement, like jumping, jumping, and crouching. I don’t think people will notice because I don’t sweat on my face, but I was able to sweat a lot.
Meguro:There were times when the two of us would breathe in sync, but there were quite a few moments where we would take a break at this particular moment, or even if we hadn’t decided or talked, our breathing would somehow be in sync with each other.
Sakuma:Without saying anything, swish! Since they all squat at the same time, you can really see the bond between the members.
Meguro:It felt like we were all in the same group after all, and it was a lot of fun.
Q.Are there any surprises that you were happy to set up or surprises that you were happy to set up?
Meguro:I don’t know if he was happy, but Fukka-san (Tatsuya Fukasawa) is coming to my house. Before that, without telling Fukka-san, Raul and Shoppy (Shota Watanabe) were also coming, so before Fukka-san came, Raul hid in our bathroom and Shoppy hid on the balcony. When Fukka-san returns from the bathroom, Raoul and Shoppy are there…
Sakuma:That’s scary (lol).
Meguro:I don’t know if everyone was happy, but it was fun for everyone.
Sakuma:What should I do… Let’s talk about Fukasawa again. When I turned 20, (Fukasawa) surprised me with a bottle of wine from the year I was born as a birthday present. (Fukasawa’s) birthday came two months earlier, and even though we were two months apart, I felt like he received a very adult birthday present. I was so happy with that surprise that I imitated a friend who didn’t know Fukasawa and did the same thing.
