Atsuko Maeda the former AKB48 member has been featured in an advertisement for the upcoming Pokemon Movie, it’s 16th movie titled “神速のゲノセクト ミュウツー覚醒” (ExtremeSpeed Genesect: Mewtwo Awakens).
Along side the main movie is the more light-hearted Pikachu short film,” ピカチュウとイーブイ☆フレンズ”(Pikachu and Eevee Friends).

Maeda has been promoting the Pikachu shorts for sometime now, including voicing the introduction to a trailer in April, but this is the first time she has made an appearance for the CM.
She appears with long time Pokemon fan Shoko Nakagawa aka Shoko-tan. Shoko-tan for the upcoming movie will also be providing the voice to one of the Pokemon, Nymphia appearing in the movie while Maeda will be doing the narration in the Pikachu Short film.
The 16th Pokemon movie will open in Japan’s Cinema on the 14th of July 2013. But I’m really looking forward it as with every other years~
Btw, Pokemon Movie 16, is the one featuring the new form of Mewtwo.
