If there’s any trend our posts in the past couple of years have shown, it’s that the Japanese can and will personify absolutely anything.
From Gum Boys to anthropomorphized swords to cute girls inspired by intestinal bacteria, Japanese creators have wowed us again and again with their desire and ability to turn just about anything into anime-style mascots.
New to join the ranks of the countless handsome characters inspired by random things are these fancy young men modeled after various cocktails, scheduled to make an appearance in thousands of smart devices this coming fall with the launch of a mobile game app titled Cocktail Prince, produced by geechs Inc.
▼ Get drunk on their song and dance in “Making Love!!”.
The six main characters fronting the show are:
▼ Martini (CV: Takuya Eguchi)
▼ Salty Dog (CV: Junya Enoki)
▼ Tequila Sunrise (CV: Nobunaga Shimazaki)
▼ Tom Collins (CV: Takashi Kondo)
▼ Emerald Mist (CV: Makoto Furukawa)
▼ Moulin Rouge (CV: Junichi Suwabe)
