YMO in Pocky ad?

See the full gallery on posterous

On my way back from Japan last week I stayed in a hotel in Fukuoka. An ad came on the TV that featured members of the Yellow Magic Orchestra. I grabbed my iPhone but only managed to grab the last few seconds.

Here are some stills I captured from the ad. That looks like Yukihiro Takahashi on the left and Harry Hosouni on the right but is that Ryuichi Sakamoto in the middle?

I like to hope it isn't.

The product incidentally is a fake-chocolate dipped pretzel stick known on Japan as a Pocky and in Korea as a ppeppero (빼빼로). They are thoroughly nasty.
