For roughly a year Izu Mito Sea Paradise has featured artwork of the Love Live! Sunshine!! stars on the exterior of their structure. The older artwork panels, featuring Uranohoshi Girls' High School finest in their 「Koi ni Naritai AQUARIUM」 costumes, have been updated. The new panels feature the same costumes (the PV for the song takes place at Izu Mito Sea Paradise), but now each Aqours member holds their personally associated sea creature mascot—from shark to shirakansu. Lovable Izu Mito Sea Paradise mascot Uchicchi, whose panel remains, tweeted these photos of the new panels recently.
@Saito_Shuka:
This ended up being late but
On Day 2 I jumped out, ran, and spun like whooosh
You guys at Osaka were the best.
I wanna come back again. Takoyaki is so tasty.
Next up is Fukuoka. Pollack roe... 🤤
Felt like time flew by really fast this time
Treasure your time and the little moments you have.
Awashima Marine Park's lovable walrus mascot, Uchicchii, plays dual roles by both promoting the park through their role in the Love Live! Sunshine!! anime, and also by promoting the anime at various locales in the Numazu region.
Here Uchicchii tweets photos from the Izuhakone Railway station. As we wrote in Aqours IRL 「HAPPY PARTY TRAIN」 starts running April 8, 2017, the train wrapping collaboration began this month. Uchicchii stands near Aqours character cutouts wearing their 「HAPPY PARTY TRAIN」 costumes, and points out gacha items related to the collaboration.
@Regrann from @uchicchii - "For me, despair is not a goal, or a set of principles, or a lifestyle, or even an instinct... It's what defines me as Junko Enoshima! It's just my characterization! That's why I'm able to pursue despair with such purity!" . . #cosplayer #cosplay #monokuma #triggerhappyhavoc #danganronpa #danganronpacosplay #junko #enoshima #junkoenoshima #enoshimajunko #junkocosplay #junkoenoshimacosplay #enoshimajunkocosplay #videogame #videogames #sdr2 #superdanganronpa2 #anime #animecosplay #wig #animegirl - #regrann
Can you tell me all myuse and aqours image girl? Like riko and umi for sevel and rin and hanamaru for sega. Is there more image girl beside them?
Myuse…I assume you mean µ’s? :^)
I unfortunately don’t know too much about µ’s image girls since I missed a majority of the promotions by the time that I joined the fandom (late 2015~early 2016). I only heard about things like the LL x Pizza Hut campaign after it had already ended.
I do know that Maki was voted as the poster girl for Watering Kissmint, and was featured in their CM along with “Angelic Angel” as the BGM. She’s the only µ’s image girl I know of besides the ones you already listed.
For Aqours:
Yoshiko was voted as the image girl for Numazu Gamers. She got a special illustration, which ended up as a Promo UR in SIF. Aikyan also got to be honorary manager for a day!
Hanamaru won the poll for Dengeki G’s cover girl back in the winter, and was featured on the February 2017 cover. I actually saw this exact issue when I was browsing a bookstore in Korea (I was abroad until February 2017), and had to heavily restrain myself from weebing out right in front of my cousin. :’)
You was voted as the LisAni girl, and was featured on its cover. Shukashuu was also featured in a video to thank the voters and shill the magazine, haha.
You also happened to win first place in the Winter Vacation election for a Promo UR on SIF (the heavily joked-about bikini snowboarding one), which was given out as a login bonus to celebrate 30 million players worldwide. Though, I suppose this isn’t really an image girl thing.
Unofficially, Hanamaru (and by extension, King/Kinchan) is connected to Noppopan promotions. After all, Hanamaru munched on Noppopan in the anime, and Kinchan is always picked to tear into a pack of it during niconamas.
Another unofficial connection would be You as the poster girl for the aquariums in the Numazu area, thanks to “Koi ni Naritai AQUARIUM”. You and Shukashuu are heavily associated with Uchicchii of Izu-Mito Sea Paradise in particular (just look at how many times Shukashuu mentions Uchicchii on her blog/Twitter account). I mean, it’s clear that even Uchicchii plays favorites - he personally wished You-chan a happy birthday, and IIRC Uchicchii was wearing a You-chan badge in one of the live SIF events he was a guest in.
If y’all know of any others, please feel free to add to this!
