Panasonic LUMIX FX37 Campaign

Ayu’s latest campaign for the Panasonic LUMIX FX37 digital camera has been unveiled on the official Panasonic site. A commercial should be expected in the next few weeks. It is unclear at this point whether or not it will feature a new song.

Ayu’s now officially the face of Wacoal designer lingerie. According to Sanspo, the campaign features Ayu modeling the Wacoal designs with the tagline “TRUST ME”, and it will be used to introduce the brand to Asian markets. Not coincidentally, it will also coincide with Ayu’s tour of Asia beginning in September.

Wacoal lingerie distributed in Japan in conjunction with Peach John (a Japanese company now owned by Wacoal). Peach John president Mika “Mama” Naguti is a good friend of Ayu’s and was present during the campaign’s shooting.
