Cosplay Sells: Bears and Backpacks

Monday 1 December 2008 @ 1:04 am | By Ivan 'Nahu' Lozano 4 Comments

Its been a while since we last examined proof of the 1st rule of Japanese marketing: cosplay sells. Its still true though, it even sells backpacks, or bear suits, I’m not sure it matters. Here we have Becky, an anglo-japanese idol, promoting backpacks while cosplaying as a polar bear. Perhaps Coca-Cola could learn a thing or two about marketing with polar bears from Japan.
