Oreimo star in a reasonably priced Demio

The third-generation Mazda Demio (Mazda 2) facelift with the new SKYACTIV-G engine was here since June. There were commercials of it starring world soccer superstar Yuto Nagatomo. But here in Chiba, Japan, it was not enough to satisfy the craving of the new Demio SKYACTIV model. There was a print ad for Chiba Mazda dealerships that has the new, 30km/L, Mazda Demio SKYACTIV and (gasp) the main character of the controversial light novel and anime Ore no Imouto Ga Konna Ni Kawaii Wake Ga Nai (日本名：俺の妹がこんなに可愛いわけがない), Kirino Kousaka!

People from Chiba, Japan are complaining how did that happened. An Oreimo star for a reasonably priced Demio? We can't help it. A star of a reasonably priced car is born. That print ad served the point. Would that work? Remember, the Demio SKYACTIV sell very well in Japan.

I think most from Chiba would say "I'm sorry Nagatomo-san, I want Kirino Kousaka to be on that ad!"
