In this edition, following the first "Expressway Renewal Project" edition, Mr. Gaku Hamada will appear as the father of a family of three, so that you can feel closer to NEXCO EAST 's efforts through everyday scenes spent with your family. I made it.
Please see the TVCM from our corporate information site / CM gallery.

Mr. Gaku Hamada will appear as a father who cares about his family, following the first installment.

Mr. Gaku Hamada, who plays the role of a father who stops by the service area for a break during a drive on a weekend trip with his family. Looking at the people who spend their time in the service area and the staff of NEXCO EAST, he mutters, "So, are you calm?" Please enjoy Mr. Gaku Hamada's natural and life-sized expression, and the friendly interaction like a real family following the first installment. Please also pay attention to Mr. Hamada's comical expression, which is a little frustrating when his daughter talks to a boy who is meeting for the first time.
In addition, the NEXCO EAST staff who appear in the commercials are actual employees of our group.
