Actress Mikako Tabe (Kimi ni Todoke, Liar Game: Reborn, Sailor Moon musical) transforms into "Cyborg 022" for a new set of web commercials for the Japanese temporary employment agency Staff Service on Sunday. The character Francoise Arnoul of Shōtarō Ishinomori's Cyborg 009 manga and anime appeared in the first set of surreal commercials on January 10, but she now hands the baton over to Tabe.
