Product overview Title: B-SIDE TRIP HIROSHIMA MIYAJIMA-LINE Product: Cassette tape (with pamphlet and QR code for playback on smartphone) Price: 2,500 yen (tax included) Release date: Friday, October 31, 2025, sales begin at 10:00 AM Website: https://b-sidetrip.com Product concept “B-SIDE TRIP HIROSHIMA” focuses on lesser-known attractions (Side B) hidden in the shadows of major Hiroshima tourist attractions (Side A), such as the Atomic Bomb Dome and Miyajima and Itsukushima Shrine. The goal of this product is to attract tourists from both within and outside the prefecture to the region, revitalize the local economy, and create a sustainable tourism model. The main content is a 60-minute cassette tape featuring guest tourists with little connection to Hiroshima. They explore the city from a fresh
perspective, enjoy interacting with local residents, and engage in personal conversations not often discussed on TV or YouTube. Purchasers will tour each spot with the guest tourist’s audio as their guide, reliving the local culture while viewing the same scenery. By presenting the product in the analog format of cassette tape*, we propose new value to an information consumption society that tends to be confined to the digital realm, and provide an experience that can only be obtained with this product to our core target audience of people in their 20s and 30s. * A SONOCA serial code is also included, so you can play it on your smartphone. Product Details For this first installment, we welcomed the two Long Coat Dads as guest tourists, and filmed on location along the Hiroshima Electric Railway Miyajima Line from Hiroshima Electric Railway Nishi-Hiroshima Station to Hiroshima Electric Railway Miyajimaguchi Station. Side A of the cassette tape features footage of the duo visiting four spots along the line that evoke the culture and history of the area, enjoying local cuisine and tastings at a distillery in their most authentic style. Meanwhile, side B features footage of the duo riding the streetcar, chatting candidly about their past, present, and future, under the theme of “Long Coat Daddy’s Journey.” In addition, the pamphlet accompanying the cassette tape was designed by Daisuke Kano of NEUTRAL COLORS and printed using a Risograph printer. It expresses the worldview of Old meets New products.
