Lotte TV Commercial Featuring Mao Asada Supporting the Sochi Japan Team

Lotte, an official partner of the Japanese Olympic Committee (JOC), is airing a TV commercial for its "Ghana Milk Chocolate" featuring figure skater Mao Asada to support the Japanese Olympic team at the Sochi Olympics.

The theme is "Everyone's Feelings, to the World Stage." Actresses Masami Nagasawa, Emi Takei, and Konomi Watanabe unite their voices saying "Deliver it to Mao-chan!", and their feelings transform into a red ribbon that gracefully wraps around Asada as she glides across the ice rink. The three send their cheers: "With Lotte sweets, Go for it! Nippon!"

The special website features this commercial, along with the "Message Ribbon" edition and behind-the-scenes footage. Additionally, Lotte is implementing an initiative where a portion of Ghana Milk Chocolate sales proceeds will be used as funding for developing young athletes through the JOC.
