Sep 11 (Japan Today) - American songstress Katy Perry is known around the world for her hit songs, extravagant costumes, and her bad blood with fellow singer Taylor Swift. Here in Japan, though, the 32-year-old performer is becoming known for her love of local reed diffusers and fabric softeners, thanks to a new commercial being broadcast to television screens around the nation from 8 September.
Laundrin', which bills itself as a "fabric and air care brand" has teamed up with the well-known singer to promote their new line of reed diffusers and fabric softeners, which were released in stores around Japan on Sept 1.
The new commercial comes hot on the heels of Perry's latest studio album "Witness," which was released in June.
In the ad, Perry can be seen returning home to her mansion, where she breathes in the scent of her palatial surroundings before stripping off and changing into a comfy pink robe. Perry's song "Act My Age" can be heard playing throughout the short clip.
The star then gives us a display of her pancake-flipping prowess at the end of the video.
In addition to the new commercials, the makers of Laundrin' are also featuring Perry on their social media accounts, showing three sides of the singer in the roles of celebrity, musician, and all-American girl-next-door.
