Kumamoto Castle was heavily damaged by the Kumamoto Earthquake in 2016, and its castle tower was finally restored in 2022, attracting not only the residents of Kumamoto Prefecture but also domestic and international tourists. However, its stonewalls and Uto Yagura (turret) are still severely damaged, and it is estimated that it will take about 30 years to restore the castle to its original state.

In collaboration with Kyushu Industrial Transportation Holdings, three Kumamoto-born idols in the series – Naho Ebihara, Ranko Kanzaki, and Miho Kohinata – have been featured in the campaign in the hope that it will help support the reconstruction of Kumamoto Castle.

Two wrapping highway buses depicting the three idols will make a round trip between Kumamoto and Fukuoka twice a day from March 1 to May 8, 2023.
