Promotional Material and Stamp Rally

On the day of the live event, normal travelers and tourist who traveled to Sasebo would arrive to find out that many locations today would be displaying KanColle content all over. This especially applied to some of the major burger joints located near the Sasebo Naval Base where the main part of the attraction was taking place.

Around various locations, there were images of Ise, Akagi, Shigure, Isokaze, Suzutsuki, Yahagi, Asashio and Akatsuki that were used to help promote the event. Historically these Kanmusu are closely affiliated with this event due to the fact their original ship counterparts were built in this location.

In addition, people who took a tour via bus would be surprised when they hear Shigure come on the speaker when it reaches a particular location to give them a guided tour about the location they were in[1]. And in addition, noted about some of the attraction in the area while trying to convince the tourists to go check them out.

Finally, there was also a stamp rally that took place where people have to go visit 4 of the major Sasebo burger joints in the area to earn a stamp from each store. Once you collected all the stamps you would be rewarded with a Shigure Clear File. In addition, eating at one of the burger joints also netted you additional KanColle merchandise which included illustrated cards and coasters which varied depending on the store.
