Mino Monta kissed by pair of sexy ladies in new Lotte commercial

37 Comments

While long used to being the center of attention, TV host and newsman Mino Monta, 65, could not hide his delight when he found himself in between two sexy ladies as part of the promotion for Lotte’s new turmeric energy drink “Nomitomo.”

Monta sings and dances with model-turned-actress Natsuko Nagaike, 24, and actress Miro Ebato, 23, in the commercial before receiving a kiss from both of them. The trio showed off the song and dance at a PR event in Nihonbashi, before the lovely ladies each planted a kiss on Monta’s cheeks. Monta appeared quite pleased, saying: “I’m glad I was born.”

Monta - rumored to be one of the biggest drinkers in Japanese show biz - said he was a good choice for promoting Lotte’s new revitalizing beverage. He spoke of how he has drunk with sumo wrestlers, and wanted to take on Mongolian yokozunas Asashoryu, 29, and Hakuho, 24.

He also diverged to tell a tale of how he once mistook his neighbor’s house for his own when he came home after a big night out. “I opened the door and there was a beautiful woman standing in the hallway, which is when I realized I had made a mistake,” he said. "But don’t tell my wife I said that.”

The new commercial airs from Monday and the drink costs 200 yen.

LOL. A binge-drinking TV presenter-come-comedian. Just what I need in the morning.

As for the women, nothing sexy in this pic, and why are they wearing purins on their heads?

A drunk TV talento gets kissed? Why is this news?

I hope the chicks were paid well, they deserve it. Probably had to have their lips scrubbed and sanitized after the shoot.

It would have been much better to have a large photo of the two young women than seeing that fool's smiling face.

The kind of joke that comedians back home would have come out with in the 1970's. it says a lot that he comes out with crap like that and is still famous and popular.

Funny!

The guy may be a schmuck but you can't deny his line. After receiving that manner of dual kiss, I'd be glad I was born, too.

Nomitomo rhymes with Yaritomo.

Funny that this guy has lasted so long in the biz, taking on yokozunas and whatnot.

who would want to kiss that? yuck!!!!!!!!

I cannot kiss Monta even if they pay millions for that. Maybe he is the only Japanese man I find unattractive, he looks like zombie in his morning show.

0 ( +0 / -0 )

Yes it may all be true. But he's in the Guiness Book of Records for most appearances on a show run consecutively and there must be some reason he was tolerated for all those years.....isn't there? I don't watch TV so I don't know about him in particular but...

don't lie. I would kiss him for millions. as for the girls that kiss for money, that did not include a real woman like you love.

"Nomitomo"

As Mino Monta proves, drinking this results in gaining friends. Young, attractive female friends!

"I opened the door and there was a beautiful woman standing in the hallway, which is when I realized I had made a mistake. But don't tell my wife I said that."

I'm guessing his wife already knows about that.

To all Brits: am I crazy, or is this guy a dead ringer for a Japanese Bob Monkhouse???!

kirakira - Hope you don't mind an American responding to your question. I wouldn't say Mino Monta is a dead ringer for Bob Monkhouse. There is a passing resemblance, though.

Mino Monta - yes, you are the man!

Japanese TV entertainment 2009 is American TV entertainment 1969. All the comedian duos are a rip-off of Martin and Lewis.

Not at all Sarge, just didn`t think anyone outside the UK would have heard of him. Or hoped anyway. Not one of our proudest exports...!
