Creamy Mami is known as a pioneer of the new marketing strategy, now known as “media mix”.^[4] The anime was used to promote a new, unknown idol singer. The real idol singer, Takako Ōta, acted as an idol singer (Creamy Mami) in the anime. The opening theme Delicate ni Suki Shite was her first song in the real world too. Even though Ohta was a new singer and not a trained voice actress, she voiced Yū/Creamy Mami, with great success. The anime Creamy Mami has become famous and Ohta gained popularity that still exists today.
