Lawson Convenience Stores' Vocaloid Mascot Sings, Dances for Oden Dish
posted on by Lynzee Loveridge
The LAWSON convenience store chain began streaming two music videos on Monday. Both songs are part of the store chain's campaign for oden, a popular Japanese food in the winter months. The videos feature LAWSON's official Vocaloid mascot Akikoroid-chan singing "Oden☆My Life" and "Hokahoka Oden no Uta."
"Oden☆My Life" was written by Vocaloid composer samfree ("Promise," "Megu Megu☆Fire Endless Night," "Luka Luka★Night Fever") and animated by WakamuraP (Hatsune Miku's "Tell Your World" music video).
"Hokahoka Oden no Uta" was written by Vocaloid composer Yuuyu ("Tengaku," "Clover♣Club," "Shinkai Shōjo") and animated by Takuya Hosogane (The Tatami Galaxy ending animation) and Shingo Yamashita (Baccano!, From the New World, Birdy the Mighty: Decode).
The store chain streamed a video earlier this year for the official song for the store's fried chicken.
LAWSON's mascot Akiko-chan received a synthesized Vocaloid voice makeover last August to become Akikoroid-chan. Akikoroid-chan acts as a navigator for LAWSON's niconico channel, and she also acts as the company's spokesperson on more than 10 different social media services including Twitter.
