A Clarion Girl is a Japanese
campaign girl chosen to represent the
Clarion car audio products in
television and print
advertising campaigns. A new representative is chosen annually, and many careers have been launched or enhanced due to being selected during the annual contest. The Clarion Girl campaigns began in 1975 with the selection of
Agnes Lum as the first Clarion Girl.
Setsuko Karasuma,
Masumi Miyazaki, and
Renhō were chosen in following years. As of 2002, Clarion stopped selecting one per year, and began working jointly with
Fuji TV, expanding into
internet advertising.
