[GAIJIN UPDATE] Sadako Serves Shakes To Surprised Customers

Sadako Serves Shakes To Surprised Customers
Producers behind "Sadako 2 -3D-", sequel to a 2012 Japanese horror film of the same title, found an interesting way to promote their new movie. Namely, making the main source of evil Sadako work as a manager for one day at the Ikebukuro Lotteria fast-food point. As you do.
With her usual getup - face hidden under black long hair and dressed in a white gown, the vengeful spirit was popping out of a frame, serving cursed Ramune-flavored (blue lemonade) milkshakes decorated with black straws and trying to grab overcurious onlookers. It was a hot summer day, and customers, although surprised, accepted cool drinks, some bravely, some with hesitance.
Sadako 2 -3D will be released on 30th of August. Seto Koji and Yusuke Yamamoto will reprise their roles as Takanori Ando and Kiyoshi Kashiwada, respectively.
For now check out Sadako at work.
