[About the Campaign]

In spring 2025, in addition to the “2024 logistics issue” (*3), rising fuel costs have also contributed to increased moving expenses. This period is considered financially burdensome for those starting a new life. In response to this situation, GMO Internet has launched two campaigns to help those planning a move take advantage of more affordable options.

In addition, applications for 10 Gig fiber-optic services under “GMO Tokutoku BB Hikari” have increased more than fourfold year-on-year (*4), and demand is expected to continue growing. We encourage you to take advantage of this great opportunity during the campaign period.

(*3) A logistics issue in which transportation capacity declines and logistics costs increase due to regulations on overtime work for truck drivers implemented from April 2024.
(*4) Based on our research. Comparison of application numbers between the end of December 2023 and the end of December 2024.

■Interview with Arisa Sakamaki (excerpt)
—This is the third “GMO Tokutoku BB Hikari” commercial! How has the response been?

I’ve received a lot of feedback from people around me. In the second web commercial, I was happy to challenge myself with singing, which I love, and since the third one has a different atmosphere from before, I’m excited to see everyone’s reactions.

—Was there anything memorable during the shoot?
One highlight is how I wave a blue cloth to make it look like I’m controlling it. I’m happy that I was able to contribute to creating a new image for “GMO Tokutoku BB Hikari.” As a behind-the-scenes story, I was actually covered in static electricity along with the cloth, so it was quite thrilling! That made it even more fun!

—“GMO Tokutoku BB Hikari” is known for its speed. What is something you are confident in when it comes to speed?
I was in the track and field club in junior high, doing sprints and long jump, so I’m confident that I’m fast at running!
