Sit in a Car and Look at Things: Part 9: Sit to the Future
(Paid Gig – ¥13,000)

Great Scott! We're back!

Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads. In fact, we don't even need a car. Just a car seat, a few cameras, and someone willing to make a complete butthead of themselves for science.

That's where YOU come in, McFly!

The mission is simple. First, you'll undergo a quick 3D body scan. Don't worry, nobody's trying to steal your DNA to create an evil clone of you in 2055.

Next, you'll sit in a car seat in a room, follow instructions on a screen, and act out various driving situations using facial expressions and body movements.

Surprise! Panic! Frustration! The look on your face when you discover your mother had a crush on you in high school!

No acting experience required. Just a face, a body, and the ability to overreact on command.

And when it's all over, you'll walk away with ¥13,000.

ONE POINT TWENTY-ONE GIGAWATTS?!

No, Biff. Thirteen thousand yen. Try to keep up.

Your Mission Through Time:

Dates: October 26 – November 18 (weekdays)
Times: 9:30 / 13:00 / 15:30
Duration: Approximately 2 hours
Pay: ¥13,000

Wanted: 16 Time Travelers

186–195 cm: 3 people
176–185 cm: 7 people
146–155 cm: 6 people

IMPORTANT: We're looking for first-time participants in this specific two-hour session (short body scan + acting out scenarios in a stationary car seat). If you've done other Sit in a Car jobs, that's perfectly fine. You just can't have participated in this particular one before.

YOUR FUTURE IS WHATEVER YOU MAKE IT. SO MAKE IT A PAID ONE.

🎬 CASTING CALL – MALE, 20s–40s

Looking for a male talent in his 20s–40s for a series of three 15-second cinema commercials for an automotive-related organization in Mie Prefecture.

Not looking for the typical model type! We want someone with character, expressive reactions, and a good sense of comic timing.

The commercials feature humorous, exaggerated movie-style situations, so we're looking for someone comfortable with slightly over-the-top acting.

Project Details

Media: Cinema advertising (3 × 15-second commercials)

Screening: Movie theaters in Mie Prefecture only

Usage: 1 year, scheduled to begin January 2027

Audition: Wednesday, October 28, from 3:00 PM in Nagoya (video audition also possible)

Shooting: November 17, 18, or 19 (one shooting day)

Location: Mie Prefecture
All three versions will be filmed on the same day.

IMPORTANT: You must be available for at least TWO of the three proposed shooting dates to allow for a weather contingency.
Interested?

Sit in a Car Part 8: Sit Hard with a Vengeance
(paid gig)

The franchise nobody asked for is back.

You've probably heard the stories—and somehow they're all true. Get paid to sit in a car and make faces.

Have you ever made dramatic expressions at your friends? Or at random strangers who *definitely* deserved it? Congratulations. You may already be qualified.

Your mission begins with a quick, anonymous 3D body scan. Yes, it sounds like the opening scene of a sci-fi thriller with just a dash of *Fifty Shades of Grey*. Relax—it's completely legitimate.

Then it's time for the main event.

You'll climb into a car seat, follow prompts on a screen, and act out different driving scenarios using your face and body movements while cameras record everything. Think of it as a 90-minute audition for *Whose Line Is It Anyway?*—except the only thing you need to improvise is your eyebrows.

The scenarios range from everyday driving reactions to wildly exaggerated expressions. The staff keeps the music playing throughout the session—and they'll even take requests—so it's surprisingly easy to forget you're essentially being paid to professionally overreact.

Mission Details:

Duration: Approximately 2 hours
Dates: July 23 - Aug 18 (Weekdays)
Times: 9:30~ 13:00~ 15:30~
Pay: ¥13,000
Height requirement: 176–195 cm

Yippee Ki‐Yay!
