Lawson, a popular convenience store in Japan, has an exciting game for their Twitter fans! Here's how it works: If you follow Lawson on Twitter and share a special message with the hashtag "Fried Chicken Boy is Sneaky", you could win a QUO card worth 10,000 yen. What's a QUO card? It's a special card in Japan you can use to buy things with.

But there's more! Lawson has also released a funny promo video. In this video, the famous actor Tomio Umezawa visits Lawson. He's wearing a bright pink and yellow aerobics outfit. At the store, he meets Orin, a well-known singer. She's dressed like a Lawson employee. She tells him: "Our regular chicken is full of protein. It's like getting half your daily protein just from this!" Tomio is amazed. Suddenly, he starts dancing with four other men, all in colorful clothes and with big moustaches.

So, watch the video, join the fun on Twitter, and you might just win!
