AKB48 Sets World Record 

AKB48 set a world record on February 28 by having their “Asashi`s Wonda Coffee Morning Shot” commercial aired 90 times in 24. The promotion features 90 different members of AKB48 with their own solo commercial’s, each one was aired once within a 24hr period nationwide.
By the way the promotion is ongoing so it`s well past 90 airings now.
On a personal note ,I have not timed it , but it feel like an AKB48 endorsement airs on some channel every program break , regularly .Every time you turn around there is an AKB48 member promoting a product.
