Already available online, the commercial will begin broadcasting in on terrestrial TV in Japan on September 05, 2016.
In the TV spot, Akane (played by Yuki Uchida), Peasuke (played by Kengo Kora), and Taro are bemused when Arale-chan temporarily trades in her trademark overalls for a pleated skirt.
Actress Ayami Nakajô plays the role of Arale-chan, the super-powered but near-sighted robot girl from Akira Toriyama’s gag manga and TV anime Dr. Slump, in a new TV spot advertising a line of pleated skirts from clothing maker GU.
