The camera takes the place of a companion in Sony Sonpo’s new Hinatazaka46 commercials. Nao Kosaka, Yoko Shogenji and Kaho Fujishima speak directly toward the viewer, while the unseen scene partner’s voice is deliberately left out.

The car insurer announced a nationwide rollout beginning October 16, 2026, for its Anata no Tonari ni. campaign—roughly, “By Your Side.” The series addresses people choosing car insurance for the first time, with four versions dividing the service introductions among the three members.

Three different kinds of company

Sony Sonpo describes Kosaka’s role as quietly reassuring: someone who shares a moment and offers steady support. Shogenji brings brighter, forward-looking encouragement, while Fujishima’s scenes emphasize shared laughter and surprise.

Their individual commercials also have different subjects:

  • Nao Kosaka: Accident-report reception available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
  • Yoko Shogenji: Customer support.
  • Kaho Fujishima: Support from a dedicated representative.

A fourth version brings all three together to introduce the advertiser’s Triple Unlimited message.

According to the company’s production account, the scenes principally use viewpoints from the driver’s seat or an adjacent seat. Hairstyles, clothing, dialogue, expressions and movements were varied to give each performer a distinct character within the shared premise.

The released campaign images echo those differences through yellow, lavender and pink layers. One brings the trio close to the camera; another places Kosaka inside a car as Shogenji and Fujishima lean toward its open window. Three separate publicity portraits accompany the commercial imagery.

Where to find the commercials

Sony Sonpo names its official YouTube channel as the viewing destination, with the new commercials being released progressively. Its announcement also outlines plans for original content featuring the three members on the official Sony Sonpo X account.
