BURN -Fumetsu no Face- Promotional Car Rolling Out in Tokyo?

Posted by Arthuro

According to this blog, a promotional car with the BURN -Fumetsu no Face- cover printed on it will roll out in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area on the day the single is released. The entry on the blog further notes that KOSE is also promoting by broadcasting their commercial (which features BURN -Fumetsu no Face-) on TV and showing them on monitors in stores. Nonetheless, it is a rare to see a promotional car being rolled out for publicity purposes. One way or the other, it will offer considerable publicity to KOSE's new products.

We may get pictures of the car on the day of the release.

Stay tuned for more!
