Public Relations
There was a public relations campaign held between October 2009 and January 2010 by The Planetary Society and JAXA, to allow individuals to send their name and a message aboard Akatsuki. Names and messages were printed in fine letters on an aluminum plate and placed aboard Akatsuki. 260,214 people submitted names and messages for the mission. Around 90 aluminum plates were created for the spacecraft, including three aluminum plates in which the images of the Vocaloid Hatsune Miku and her super deformed figure Hatchune Miku were printed.

Famous quotes related to public relations:
“The rarest of all things in American life is charm. We spend billions every year manufacturing fake charm that goes under the heading of ‘public relations.’ Without it, America would be grim indeed.”
—Anita Loos (1888–1981)
