Why?



Fair question. I've made some basic audience assumptions. These are:

- people who buy Japanese candy also like other Japanese items

- people who buy Japanese candy also like the Japanese culture

- people who know about Japanese candy are within a certain age range.

- people within that age range that know about Japanese candy have also purchased some

- people who enjoy the Japanese culture that fa within the age range of those who like the candy may also potentially enjoy Japanese pop culture

- people who enjoy that pop culture enjoy consuming media about it

- people who enjoy consuming the media have adopted newer platforms (YouTube vs tv).

- most of these people are male

A show with a cosplayers who talks about Japanese candy in a memorable way seems to fit these assumptions.

Why a female cosplayer? Sex sells.


It's possibly good marketing.
