(Head Office: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director and President: Yoshio Suzuki, hereafter H.I.S.), it will launch a campaign in which travelers can win the opportunity to be made into animation characters and appear in RED GARDEN, an animated TV series produced by GDH's group company, GONZO K.K.

[ About RED GARDEN ]
You'll never truly treasure your life, until the day you lose it! That's the lesson four schoolgirls in contemporary New York learn when their encounter with a cruel and brutal hidden world results in their untimely deaths - and their resurrection as vampires, blessed with a chance to escape death, but cursed with a shadowy half-existence where they must fight on behalf of their new masters even as they watch their old lives slipping away from them. Provocative and intelligent, RED GARDEN is a striking new direction for animation.
