On March 5, it was revealed that actress Karina will be the face of Takara Shuzo�s new alcoholic gelatin beverage �Carina� and that she will �appear in a new CM for the drink.

This is a new type of a liquor drink, as they've created a new texture with the gelatine. Three flavors � Mango, Peach, and Umeshu � will go on sale starting March 26. The drink is marketed towards women and thus, uses the name �Carina�, the Italian word for "pretty", as the product�s name.

Karina spoke excitedly about her name and her face being used for a new product: �I was shocked [when I found out] that the drink�s name is the same as mine!!� But, to be honest, I was quite elated!�� She commented about the product saying, �It is a new type of alcoholic beverage that you shake before drinking it, so I think it would be fun to drink this at parties?�

Her CM will be broadcast starting in April.
