It was announced on December 10th that Yukirin will be voicing all the announcements aboard the buses, streetcars, ferries that are used frequently by tourists within the Kagoshima prefecture. Her announcements will be used starting mid December until the end of March.
Yukirin’s announcements will be available from departure to arrival on the Airport Limousine from the Kagoshima Airport to the City, Sightseeing Tram “Kagoden”, JR Kyushuu Sightseeing Train “Ibusuki no Tamatebako”, Sakurajima Ferry “Yorimichi Cruise”, etc etc.
The announcements were recorded at the end of November. There are 13 versions, each about 1.5 to 2 minutes long of various tidbits about the transportation or the place. Yukirin also introduces herself and provides recommendations on food of the places. She was appointed Satsuma Ambassador of the Kagoshima Prefecture in July of last year.
