Tom Hanks is all over at the subway Nagoya Station. He is on the promotion posters for the movie "Angels & Demons," which was released on May 15th in Japan. Some posters have covered almost all the wall of the subway station and others have been on the pillars for at least 10 days (as of May 17th). The following pictures taken on a weekend show how Tom Hanks have been watching subway passengers and grabing their minds. Since the subway Nagoya station is literally packed with commuters (e.g., office workers and students) on weekdays, you can easily imagine that greater numbers of passengers are exposed to his movie promotion EVERY day. Some of the passengers eventually watch the movie. How effective this promotion technique is!
On Weekdays, the area indicated by the yellow sign (i.e., the sign just above Tom Hanks' poster) is where only women can go aboard the car (called women-only car) of the subway. This women-only car is available during morning and evening rush hours so that women can have a comfortable subway ride.
This picture shows how empty the platform becomes after everyone is on board on weekends. On weekdays, however, the platform is constantly packed with passengers waiting for the next trains, which run every 4 minutes.
