Kumiko Goto becomes Kirin beer goddess

She keeps getting hotter with age.

Worship the goddess of beer. I like that(but will I like the beer?)

can she go up against Sugimoto Aya in the All-Japan Cougar Pagent?

She looks a lot older than 35. Third category beers are not nice. A sign of economic hardship that they are so popular perhaps.

The Romans had Bacchus, Japan has Kumiko Goto. I think she's a vast improvement. Hopefully she doesn't get surly and violent like Bacchus.

I saw the posters with her for this new 'beer' yesterday on the train. She definitely looks older than 35 these days...

Finally! Thank God(dess)! Finally a beer with 'hard water' and 1000 mgs of Magnesium per liter. Just what I was waiting for! Cant wait for a fourth catagory of fake beer to come out...

Sorry but I don't think this is a picture of Goto Kumiko. I think this is Nakayama Miho.

A quick google search confirms it IS Nakayama Miho..good one PeaceWarrior.

Moderator: It is Kumiko Goto. You can see the promotion for the ad at http://www.kirin.co.jp/brands/1000/gallery/index.html

I wish they wouldn't use the word "BEER" because beer it isn't.

i know some men drink anything that is labelled alcohol. Then they come and post on JT. After a few drinks they can see this woman as a goddess too.

Wow, this commercial checks all the boxes for "creative" here in Japan. We have the silly sun and sea imagery. We have the required celebrity. And, we have the western music/song. Well done. By the way, who comes up with these insipid names anyway -- Kirin 1000 Endless Clear? How can a product that is yellow.gold in color be clear?

Thanks for the link Moderator. You are quite right.

If Kirin wants to make me drink beer, they have to use in the CMS somebody cool, handsome, intelligent, like for example Hiroshi Abe, Ken Hirai, Kotooshu, Aran.

Sure does look like Miho Nakayama. Did they post the wrong picture?

What kind of beer goddess offers third category beer?!?!

bestest beerist

I love Kumiko san...and Miho chan too ! I remember when i saw the first time Miho in Waratte ii tomo with Tamori san, she was 15 years old, cute and now she is a very beautiful lady, living in Paris... Kumiko san too, a little younger than Miho, was very cute and when she got married with Alesi, i was jealous !

Actually, I must admit I am wrong after seeing the poster on the Hibiya-sen earlier.

Ultradude -- Actually, you are correct. I saw it as well going to/from Roppongi and Hiroo. Can't say it made my mouth water for this product. But then again, I would rather drink almost anything than a "3rd-category" beer. That is an oxymoron as far as I am concerned.

what constitutes as a beer goddess?

Is this about beer or about Goto? Goto . . . where? The deep blue sea? Or the realm of intoxication?

What kind of beer goddess offers third category beer?!?!

Obviously, one that needs third-category beer goggles to see.

This is Nakayama Miho

I tried a can of that. It'll be my last can of that.
