The TV anime of the manga “Medalist” (author: Tsurumaikada), which is being serialized in “Monthly Afternoon”, will start broadcasting on Saturday, January 4th! In commemoration of this, we jacked Tokyu Plaza Omotesando Omocado and put up a “Podium Advertisement on the Ice”. The gold medal is expressed by making the stairs look like a podium and the top tier is gold. A huge poster with a total length of 4m and a 34-step staircase overlap each other, making it a powerful visual that you can see as the main character, Inori, runs up to the top of the podium! Please try to find the perfect angle on the spot!

A large copy on the stairs is “I want to be the strongest in this place I wanted.” It expresses the passionate story of girls who bet their lives on figure skating, including the main character, Inori, aiming for a gold medal. The surrounding mirror surfaces are designed to match the figure skating manga, and are scattered about the characters’ serious acting scenes and hot lines.
