Otomachi Una x Tenryu Hamanako Twitter Campaign

From today until June 25, there is a Twitter campaign giveaway from Otomachi Una to let winners become “godparents” of the upcoming train with Una’s images on it! See below for how to enter.

  1. Follow Otomachi Una’s official Facebook page so that she will be able to direct message you.
  2. Then either:
    A) Simply retweet the above tweet, or
    B) Hashtag it with #ウナラッピング名付け親 and tweet it along with your name

    ※You can do both if you would like to, but you can do either one only once. Don’t cheat and use multiple accounts

Among those who simply retweet the tweet, two will be selected to win an alarm clock with Otomachi Una’s voice (by Aimi Tanaka) uttering lines like a train conductor, and 2 daylong passes for the train with Una decal.

The same will go for those who retweet with the hashtag and their names.

The entry period if from June 21 through June 25, and winners will be contacted in early July. The alarm clock and train tickets will then be shipped sometime in September.
