At the outset, Masanobu Tomatsuri, Head of Domestic Sales for the Digital Home Appliances Business Division, explained that the 4K TV market has grown significantly since last year. He noted that growth is expected to accelerate further as 4K and 8K undergo trial and practical broadcasts via BS satellite broadcasting, leading up to the global sporting events in 2020. "The new product achieves 8K resolution while being 4K, delivering the highest picture quality in AQUOS history. We will promote it under the key message 'Beauty lies in the details,' " he stated, revealing the company has engaged singer/model Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, known as an icon of Cool Japan.
