The mega girl band AKB48 is now plugging bicycle safety.
In the video linked above, the girls are riding and dancing, gyrating and screaming:
Check BAA! Anshin Check! Anzen Check! Jitensha Erabi ha BAA, Check!
Check BAA! Peace of Mind, Check! Safety, Check! When choosing a bike, register with BAA, Check!
BAA is the Bicycle Association Approved seal the singers point at on the stem of the bike. This is a form of insurance one can buy in Japan.
If that didn't convince you, there is more: in the video below AKB48 is doing a public service announcement.
Following scenes of the girls riding around on bikes in the studio dressed in their high school uniforms, the interviewer asks them where and when they cycle. "A sweets shop, 7-11." "Back home in Oita."
No, this is not an April Fool's joke.
