KANAKO Appears in Commercial for Horse Racing Festival.

KANAKO has been chosen to appear in the new "BREEDER" commercial for Japan's premier dirt horse racing festival, the JBC (Japan Breeders Cup), which began airing on September 17, 2025.

The JBC is a major event to be held on Monday, November 3 (a national holiday) at both Funabashi Racecourse in Chiba Prefecture and Monbetsu Racecourse in Hokkaido. KANAKO takes on the role of storyteller, conveying the allure of the festival.

In the commercial, KANAKO dons an elegant and chic outfit, embodying the passion of breeders and the prestige of the JBC. Set against a fantastical backdrop of light and shadow, her dignified expressions and gentle gaze communicate the breeders' fervent devotion to the races.

Earlier in April, KANAKO was appointed as the official ambassador at Funabashi Racecourse, one of the JBC venues. Since then, she has showcased its charm through commercials such as the "Horse" and "Park" editions.
