BABYMETAL’s (Japan) PR is back to work!

BABYMETAL has started many PR initiatives in Japan this month!

Family Mart Elevator Girl promotion

Family Mart’s across Japan play a clip of Elevator Girl every hour between minutes 44 and 45 (Yon-Yon!). There are over 15000 stores nationwide.

This campaign seems to have ended, with a one week period, from Tuesday, May 14th to Monday, May 20th.

Truck in Tokyo promoting Yokohama Arena

On Monday, May 20th people started spotting a truck driving around Shibuya & Shinjuku in Tokyo, mostly Shibuya crossing, with Yokohama Arena ads around it. It plays Elevator Girl, Starlight, and Distortion.

Unlike previously, it does not announce anything about the show (via the speakers), only plays music.
