Card con

In a bid to beguile fawning and fleeceable customers, UFJ NICOS has released a new credit card featuring singer, actress and all-around ‘idol’ Asami Abe.

However whilst the inclusion of the 21-year-old’s name may well be enough to entice many fans, the card’s main allure is the chance to speak to Abe-san herself. Yes, for those willing to forgo economic security and ratchet up a ridiculous amount of points, their dream girl will be kind enough to indulge in a little one-on-one chit chat.

But it won’t be over dinner or a nice long coffee. No, instead it’ll be a rather less intimate affair; namely on the telephone — for a measly 5 minutes.

Which isn’t much to smile about.
