Citizen Watch Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nishi-Tokyo, Tokyo / President: Yoshitaka Oji, hereinafter Citizen) celebrates its 50th anniversary this year since launching the world's first analog light-powered watch in 1976. A special video has arrived featuring Ryoga (Ryoga Funatsu) and Yuki (Yuki Murata) from the highly-discussed main dancer & back vocal group 'Chotokkyu' (Bullet Train), who join the 'Eco-Drive Club' to enjoyably learn about Citizen's 'Eco-Drive', which converts not only sunlight but also faint indoor light into electricity to drive the watch. In the special video released today, 'Chotokkyu Ryoga & Yuki join the Eco-Drive Club!? Super learning about Citizen!', they will learn about the numerous watches Citizen has introduced to the world over its more than 100-year history since its founding in 1918. Through interactions with a senior member of the Eco-Drive Club, the two absorb knowledge while being amazed. There are also scenes where they are overwhelmed by unreasonable requests from their senior. You can watch it from the special content site below.
