First delivery, first camping trip, first holiday—and the nerves of a first attempt at parallel parking. Nagisa Saito races through the possibilities of owning a first car in Tokio Marine Direct’s new web-commercial series, announced for a progressive rollout beginning October 23, 2026.

The actress addresses the viewer through an open car window, letting one imagined outing tumble into the next. Repeated references to first experiences give the dialogue its brisk rhythm, before the commercial turns to the campaign’s subject: choosing car insurance for the first time.

Two approaches to a first-time question

The announcement highlights Hatsu My Car, Omedetou, a congratulations-on-your-first-car commercial built around that succession of milestones. The supplied campaign artwork shows Saito in yellow leaning toward the open window, with blue-and-white advertising graphics laid over the photograph.

A second commercial, Direct tte, Nandarou? — Hajimete no Direct, starts with a different question: what does direct insurance mean?

Here, Saito takes the role of the person asking for an explanation. The advertiser introduces dealing directly with the insurance company and completing quotations and contracts online. The two spots therefore give her different performance tasks: an energetic run of imagined experiences, followed by a question-and-answer introduction to the service.

Where to watch

Tokio Marine Direct names its official Instagram, TikTok, X and YouTube accounts as distribution channels. The announcement specifies releases beginning progressively on October 23, rather than simultaneous availability everywhere. Fans can find the campaign through the advertiser’s official commercial gallery.

The campaign arrives alongside Saito’s television work. The announcement identifies Jotei, which began broadcasting on Yomiuri TV on October 22, 2026, as her first starring television drama. She previously debuted with =LOVE in 2017 and played Ruby Hoshino in the 2024 live-action Oshi no Ko adaptation.
