Hypnosis Mic Track Used in Animated Ad Featuring Kei Nishikori
posted on by Lynzee Loveridge
A song by the rapping idols of Hypnosis Mic was recently featured in an advertisement for Japanese consumer financial services company JACCS. The company sponsored pro tennis player like Kei Nishikori gets animated on the court while the Hypnosis Mic track "Hypnosis Mic -Division Battle Anthem-" booms in the background.
JACCS has sponsored Nishikori since at least 2013. He's repeatedly appeared in animated commercials and Manga Cross-over events and is a personal favorite of Prince of Tennis creator Takeshi Konomi.
Hypnosis Mic's first full album Enter the Hypnosis Microphone is slated for release on April 24. The group earned the top spot as the most popular voice actor Twitter account in Japan for 2018. The project has multiple manga tie-ins, a planned mobile game, and successful live events under its belt.
The project collaborated with the King of Prism spin-off series for an April Fool's joke. The collaboration video is extending beyond its April 1 premiere and will be screened in theaters in Japan from April 3-7 before the King of Prism: Shiny Seven Stars- film.
