[09.11.12] T-ara Becomes the Ambassadors to Japanese Anime 'Evangelion: Breaking'
T-ara, the chart-topping girl group that collaborated with Supernova for 'TTL' have been appointed as the ambassadors to the Japanese Anime Evangelion: Breaking.
The 6-member girl group was appointed to represent the series as their members resemble the characters Ray, Asuka, and Mari in appearance.
The Evagelion series has been extremely popular in Japan, and its also made waves in Korea. Therfore, there was a lot of deliberation that has taken place in order to appoint a feasible ambassador.
Previously, SS501 also became the ambassadors to the first Evangelion movie, Evangelion: The Beggining as their popularity and Japan and Korea have sky-rocketed ever since.
'Because of the T-ara members' resemblance to the pilot characters of Evangelion, Ray, Asuka, and Mari, we believe that T-ara is the most qualified celebrities to represent Evangelion' said S&S, the company responsible for the domestic release of Evangelion.
With this statement, all T-ara members happily accepted the proposal to be the ambassadors to the anime.
T-ara member Boram was said to resemble the character 'Ray' because of her hairstyle. Young Kim Taehee, Jiyeon was said to resemble Asuka because of her charming cute looks. Finally, because of her long hair and strong looks, leader Eunjeong was said to resemble the character of Mari.
The Evangelion: Breaking promotions have been pushed farther a little later because T-ara has a packed schedule this November because of their upcoming mini-album release. However, during that time, T-ara and the companies will be meeting upon the details on how premiere will go and promotions.
Evangelion was derived from the Japanese anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion from 1995, and ever since, it's become quite a phenomenon.
Evangelion: Breaking is set to be released on December 3rd, 2009.
