SoftBank Mobile New TV Commercial The Ostrich Club promotes "Smart Ne" with their "boiling water stunt"

SoftBank Mobile began airing a new TV commercial titled "Boiling Water" from the "Shirakawa Family" series on February 28th, ahead of the launch of its new "Smart Discount" service starting March 1st. The new service offers a fixed monthly discount on mobile phone charges when customers bundle their mobile phone (excluding some handsets) with fixed-line services like "SoftBank Hikari" provided by the company.

The commercial features regular members like Masato Sakai and his father, plus the three members of the comedy trio Dacho Club. The trio plays a family visiting a SoftBank shop, interacting with staff members Aya (played by Aya Ueto) and Mr. Yoshida (played by Kotaro Yoshida). They promote the "Smart Discount" (Suma-ne) service through their signature hot bath skit. What fate awaits Ueshima Ryuhei, the trio member who always ends up falling into the bath?

Details of the service and the commercial can be viewed on the official website ( http://www.softbank.jp/mobile/special/smartnebiki/ ).
