Why it matters for anime fans
Hamamatsu is where Nadeshiko grew up before moving to Yamanashi, and the JR Central collab builds its audio around Nadeshiko and Ayano camping in their hometown. The festival is the reason to go in November; the collab gives you a reason to ride out to Lake Hamana until the end of December.
What you can see and do
- The free content area. Stage events on both days, open to everyone during opening hours.
- Audio on the shinkansen. On the Tokaido Shinkansen, audio you can only play on board: three characters, Nadeshiko and Ayano among them, chatting on the way to Hamamatsu.
- A carabiner for listeners. Play the on-board audio and you can collect an acrylic carabiner, one of three designs at random.
- A digital voice rally. Checkpoints at Hamamatsu, Takatsuka, Maisaka and Bentenjima stations.
- A panel display at Bentenjima Station. In the waiting room of the station nearest Nagisaen, 1 October to 8 November.
Collect the collab gifts at Animate Hamamatsu, on the 4th floor of the May One station building (10:00-20:00). On 7 and 8 November, some can also be collected at the Jamboree.
