Ranking 8th in AKB48�s 3rd Senbatsu General Election, Itano Tomomi has been chosen to promote the popular foreign drama �NIKITA� on TV CMs. They�re appealing to fans by dressing Itano up in a sexy red dress, similar to the one the drama heroine wears.
McG, responsible for �Charlie�s Angels�, was in charge of remaking the hit movie �La Femme Nikita� (directed by Luc Besson) into a drama. Maggie Q, known for her action skills in �Mission Impossible: III� and �Live Free or Die Hard�, plays the beautiful assassin Nikita.
Itano commented, �Director McG also came to see AKB48�s performance. Maggie Q is a strong action star and she�s totally cool, so please check this out!�. The CM�s image song is called �Come on!� and is the the B-side to Itano�s second single �Fui ni�.
Warner Home Video explained the reason why Itano was chosen as the image character,�Because NIKITA has a 'strong, beautiful and stylish' female image which fits Itano and she has a connection with McG, we felt that Itano Tomomi would be the best match�.
The �NIKITA� first season Vol.1 Blu-ray and DVD will be released on June 15th.
