TBS and Yamazaki Bread are working to release two limited edition confectionery items in conjunction with the launch of the autumn 2013 drama "Ando Lloyd ~ A.I. knows LOVE? ~" which stars Kimura Takuya and Shibasaki Kou. The drama is due to begin its run from 13 October at 9pm on Sundays. On the first O.A. day, the items Kinako Agepan (Roasted soy bean flour fried bread) and Kinako Cream & Tsubuan will be available for sale at all supermarkets and convenience stores nationwide.

In the drama, the Kinako Agepan is featured as a favourite food of Matsushima Reiji (Kimura) and is an item which links him to his fiancee Asahi (Shibasaki). As for the Kinako Cream & Tsuban, it is featured as a staple lunch pack item for Reiji's research centre.

In the past, TBS had also released a Curry Bread (Karee Pan) in 2007 when Kimura starred in the drama "Karei Naru Ichizoku" and it sold 1.05 million pieces on the launch day alone. Total sales broke the 30 million units mark.
