30 idols to fight for justice & healthy diets in Kagome vegetable juice ad

Japanese idol group AKB48 will begin starring in sentai-themed commercials for Kagome vegetable juice on June 9. 30 of the group were transformed into Balance Sentai Veggie Rangers for the commercials for Yasai Ichinichi Kore Ippon drinks.

In the commercials, AKB48 in "mysterious 'sentai Yasuhiro Nightow designed the costumes.

Kagome sold its vegetable juice in the United States, although its English website only displays its sauces now.

For the past two years, the group appeared in annual advertising for Kagome as the vegetable-themed "Yasai Sisters" (Vegetable Sisters). Rino Sashihara will play the comical "Veggie Ranger Robo."

In an unrelated development, Tokyograph Noel Gallagher commented on his May 25 appearance on the Music Station television program with AKB48.
