The TV anime of the manga “Medalist” (author: Tsurumaikada), which is currently being serialized in “Monthly Afternoon”, will begin broadcasting on Saturday, January 4th! To commemorate this occasion, we jacked up Tokyu Plaza Omotesando Omokado and posted a “podium advertisement on ice.” The stairs are likened to a podium, and the top step is painted gold to represent a gold medal. By combining a 4m long giant poster and 34 steps into one, the main character Inori appears to be running up to the top of the podium, creating an impressive visual! Please try to find the angle that fits perfectly! The large copy written on the stairs reads, “I want to be the strongest in this place that I want.” It depicts the passionate story of the main character Inori and other girls who risk their lives on figure skating with the aim of winning the gold medal. The surrounding mirror surface is also designed to resemble ice, in keeping with the figure skating manga, and the characters’ serious acting scenes and passionate lines are interspersed. 〈Publication information〉 ■Publication location: Tokyu Plaza Omotesando “Omokado” entrance ■Publication location: January 6th (Monday) to January 12th (Sunday)
