Meiji Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Bunjiro Yao) will begin airing a new CM for the 'Meiji Oishii Milk Series (Milk Coffee/Milk Tea)' nationwide from Tuesday, March 31, 2026, featuring actress Aya Ueto. The highlight of this CM is Aya Ueto's gentle yet firm line, 'If it's a latte, it's milk,' which conveys the importance of milk directly to the heart. During the shoot, Ueto actively tried to show the package in the best way, and when the perfect cut was captured, the staff applauded, creating a bright atmosphere. Ueto's natural communication with the staff helped ease the tension on set. [CM URL: https://youtu.be/q87-x5w7s7Q]. In an interview, Ueto shared that she enjoys milk by steaming it to create foam, preferring to 'eat' rather than just 'drink' it during her alone time. She also offered a message of support to new graduates, encouraging them to rely on colleagues and work at their own pace.
