"Dan Mitsubachi" also makes an appearance "Your Pinch! Episode" Grand Prize

 

Mitsubachi Insurance Group, which operates approximately 170 walk-in insurance shops nationwide, held the award ceremony for the "Your Sting! Episode" Grand Prize at Ebisu Garden Room in Tokyo on March 5th.

The company is currently airing a TV commercial featuring talent Dan Mitsu dressed as a honeybee. "Dan Mitsu-bachi" delivers sharp jabs like "To those neglecting their insurance or their wives" and "To the decline in gentlemen who promise lifelong protection." The company invited the public to submit episodes inspired by these jabs. From 1,327 entries, the Grand Prize winner was selected and announced with an award presentation on the day.

 

At the start, President Shunji Yamazaki stated, "With so many companies and products offering insurance, it's easy to put it off. We advise on 'how to choose, how to review, and how to utilize' insurance. Please visit our store." Appearing in bee-themed attire, Dan Mitsu shared an anecdote from her own experience filming a movie: "During filming, I got a little sting when an actor took longer than me to do their makeup!"

The grand prize went to: "I cooked a special meal for my dog, wishing him a long life. When I came home saying 'I'm back,' he just microwaved his food. 'I got a little jab at my wife, who's kinder to our dog than to me!'" The winner, Tetsuya Sato from Chiba Prefecture, received a prize of 380,000 yen (380,000 yen) and a trophy shaped like a bee's stinger, fitting the company's theme. Sato remarked, "I just submitted something from daily life. Last night was just like the entry," prompting laughter throughout the venue. The commercial can also be viewed on the company's website ( mitsubachihoken.com ).
