The Marui Group — which owns and operates department stores and other retail shops in Japan, has just released a new animated commercial series that stars Maaya Uchida and Takahiro Sakurai as voice actors for the female and male leads. The catch? Sakurai’s character is not human, but a cat!

The series is entitled “Well-rounded Happiness from a Kitty”. The story revolves around a female office worker named Mari and a cat named Oi (both names are a play on words for the name Marui), trying to find their way to happiness.

Joining Marei Taso and Sakupyonpyon are other A-list voice actors such as Tomokazu Sugita, Shuka Saitou, and Yuu Serizawa. Marika Kouno and rookie star Shunsuke Takeuchi round out the cast.
