and will also be shown on the very festival on the June 30th at 1:45 pm. And
after the shows Viz Pictures and Viz Media (as the distributor) will be

Takeshi
Kaneshiro was representing the product in Japan and is the model for the
company. He has made some video commercials for the JT and shooting for the ads
which are on the big boards and Supermarket windows in Japan these days. Both of the tea
products from JT are sugar free and no calories, which is seemingly very
important for those who would like to buy it.
