Lipton appoints Kou Shibasaki as image character

The singer said all the usual things, such as how the tea refreshed her and how she always has some during breaks when she is singing or on a film set because it gives her energy.

LOL!!!! Sounds like the reporter is blowing off her lame comments too. "She said all the usual things...) hahaha, thats hilarious!

Miss Lipton’s Limone Tea? Is that her really standing there? Or is that a cardboard cut out?

either cardboard cut out or still foggy outside !

Sweetened tea is very bad tasting. Limone is one of the worst products on the market, together with the morning/afternoon tea in a bottle.

There's enough sugar in a bottle of Lipton tea to send half a dozen OAPs cartwheeling around, whooping, so I'm not surprised it gives her energy (allegedly). Bad picture, though. Kou's a real cutey.

She should have had kept that bad-ass look from Battle Royale...

I think it is a cardboard cutout too.

Why her?! For Lipton, I assume they could bring someone that her Lip-Tone was attractive! The lips on this lady look awkward!

An image character??? So not even a person any more? That's a shame because as others have said she is cute.

Loved her in "Galileo." Not too bad of a singer, either.

i didnt recognise her. i have this permanent image of her with princess leia-buns and a big strange poofy dress (i think it was from when she was on himitsu no arashi).

but meh. id buy lipton tea whether or not she was promoting it.

"I have this permanent image of her with princess leia-buns"

Where'd you get that image?

Was she wearing a gold bikini too?

as my comment clearly states, it was from her appearance on himitsu no arashi.
