Koyuki, right, and Haruka Ayase

Koyuki, Ayase swing into action for Viera TV ads

Wednesday 03rd September, 10:46 AM JST

Actresses Koyuki, 31, and Haruka Ayase, 23, got to experience some action scenes in their new ads for Panasonic’s Viera TV sets and Diga Blu-ray recorder. The two appear in scenes “copied” from the Chinese historical epic film “Red Cliff.” In the ad, Koyuki flies through the air.

“I had to do a lot of training for wire action at the studio. I really enjoyed it,” she said. Ayase, who appears in the ads as Koyuki’s sister, said: “I’d like to be the active girl next time rather than the gentle sister.”

The three new TV ads will air from September 5.

Why do you people persist in running this bollocks as if it were news - it isn't!

Yes but we enjoy the pictures.

Gloobey - the pics are nice, but I think everyone would be happier if they just posted the pictures instead of trying to make it seem like a "story" has broken.
