On January 20th, actress Kiritani Mirei attended a press conference for Gunze's "Body Wild" as a new image character.

"Body Wild" is Gunze's underwear brand that both men and women can enjoy. Aside from Kiritani being chosen as the new image character, Gunze decided to produce a special limited edition Valentine's Day underwear.

Kiritani commented, "I was very honored to receive the news about becoming the image character! Shinohara Ryoko-san, whom I've looked up to, was the first image character, so I'm very happy to become the 11th."

She continued, "Men who think about the fashion of their underwear are wonderful! I want to support things like that. To celebrate the Valentine's season, we made underwear as gifts. We made both 'honmei' (real) and 'giri' (obligatory) underwear!"

In Japan, women give men chocolate and other gifts on Valentine's Day. The chocolate gifts come in two different types:�honmei choco and�giri choco. Honmei choco is given to the person a woman has romantic feelings for, while�giri choco is usually given to male coworkers and bosses out of obligation.

Recently, a new type called�tomo choco is becoming popular among women. This is when a women gives chocolate to their female friends.

Body Wild's honmei underwear�has a simple design with a heart print on one side. Kiritani explained, "I thought it would be nice to be able to deliver your feelings to your 'honmei' in a casual manner."

Finally, Kiritani said, "Just like how girls give boys chocolate, give underwear!", and wrapped up the event.
