Members of ℃-ute, Morning Musume. ’15, Juice=Juice, ANGERME, and Country Girls appeared at Hello! Project Hina Fest 2015 in ninja cosplay in support of Nin Tsuku. AKB48 has been in too many game campaigns to remember! However, it seems that things are just beginning to heat up!

Starting on June 13, 2015 the voting period to decide who would be the “image character” for the mobile game Avabel Online (ASOBIMO Games). Candidates for this campaign are: SUPER☆GiRLS, PASSPO☆, THE Possible (from July 8, 2015 Ciao Bella Cinquetti), UPUPGIRLS (KARI), and DIANNA☆SWEET. Voting will continue until July 12, 2015 and is done through the Avabel Online mobile app. Listed in alphabetical order are the 5 groups and their commercials for the campaign.

If you are not pleased with the results, you know what you must do! Vote!


Voting is simple! Open the Avabel Online app and go to the SHOP. Go to EVENT and pick the group you want to vote for and vote!

The voting option is only available on the Japanese version but, this is not a problem as long as you switch the language of your device to Japanese before you open the application. Here is how to switch your device to Japanese so you can vote.

In order to change it back to English (or whatever other language your device may be using), follow these steps.

Just remember that you need to switch your device to Japanese in order to vote as the option is not available in other regions. As if that wasn’t enough, there is also a Psycho Pass promotional campaign going on right now! In addition to the winning group getting to be the image character for the game, there might be some special easter eggs added to the game that only true fans will understand.
