　Daiichi Kosho Co., Ltd. will air a new commercial starring five members of SUPER EIGHT as an ambassador for its commercial online karaoke DAM from April 17, 2025. This commercial uses a new song written as a tie-up song.
　 To commemorate this, a media announcement was held on April 16 to announce the appointment of DAM Ambassadors and the unveiling of the new commercial.

　 At the event, all members of SUPER EIGHT (Yutaka Yokoyama, Tadayoshi Okura, Shingo Murakami, Ryuhei Maruyama, and Akihiro Yasuda) dressed in costumes from the commercial shooting took the stage. At the opening, Mr. Murakami said, "It's been a long time since the five of us shot a commercial, and each member has their own highlights, and the finish is perfect for the bright image of SUPER EIGHT."

　 Next, in the commercial-making video shown on the big screen, a scene appeared in which Mr. Yokoyama and Mr. Yasuda hugged many times. When asked by the MC, "Don't you usually have the opportunity to hug each other?", the members all replied, "We do it every day. We all came out together before we left today!" He excited the audience.

　 In addition, the tie-up CM song this time is a new song written by "Buchi ★I GOT IT" (read: Buchiagari). When Mr. Okura explained the key points of the new song, saying, "I've been trying rap-style songs for a few years, and I have a song about it, but this is the first time I've used 'Bump-up' itself as the title," Mr. Yokoyama said, "I'm happy that the rap-style songs that I play live are seeing the light of day.

　The theme of the talk session that followed was "karaoke". In response to the question, "Who is the top batter when you go to karaoke with the members?", Mr. Murakami replied, "I think there are a lot of Maru (Maruyama-san). They create an atmosphere with exciting songs."
　 As for Tori, she said, "We all sing and we all leave," and showed off an episode of friendship that is typical of SUPER EIGHT.

　Furthermore, while each member answered "How do you want to liven up karaoke and DAM in the future?", Okura replied, "We will do a DAM performance!" Mr. Murakami was impressed by the brilliant idea, saying, "I think it will be exciting because you can create many corners using DAM functions such as scoring," and he seemed to deeply sympathize with Mr. Okura's idea.

　 Finally, as a DAM ambassador, Mr. Yasuda said, "The four new microphones are groundbreaking! I hope that you will be able to cheer up and get excited with the DAM as the only choice," and the plan was to end the event coolly, but suddenly Mr. Maruyama began to lie on the stage, and when he kneaded "I don't want to go home!" as if it were the main commercial, the members responded with the usual phrase, "That's a bub," and the venue was filled with laughter.
