Ayase Haruka takes over downtown Tokyo in Akko-chan promotion

Posters of Ayase Haruka as Akko-chan dressed in 13 outfits have taken over trains and the premium advertising space in Shinjuku Station as a run-up to the opening of movie 'Himitsu no Akko-chan'. Thirteen media outlets online also each covered the promotion with a different photo. HImitsu no Akko-chan is a manga by Akatsuka Fujio but the movie version is an original story. In the movie 10-year-old Kagami Atsuko uses a magic compact, which can transform her into anything she wants, into a 22-year old university student. Her love interest is played by Okada Masaki. The movie opens on 1st September.
