No.16-031 July 28, 2016 <Kyary Pamyu Pamyu 5th Anniversary x Seibu Railway> Project “SEIBU KPP TRAIN” to Start Operation on the Shinjuku Line From July 30 (Sat.) Limited-time Special Movie to Be Released on a Special Site As a part of the <Kyary Pamyu Pamyu 5th Anniversary x Seibu Railway> project, Seibu Railway Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Tokorozawa City, President: Hisashi Wakabayashi, hereinafter “Seibu Railway”) will start operation of the SEIBU KPP TRAIN, a special train currently operating on the Ikebukuro Line, on the Shinjuku Line from July 30 (Sat.). Operation of the SEIBU KPP TRAIN on the Shinjuku Line was decided based on Seibu Railway’s desire to offer a wonderful time to customers using the Shinjuku Line, through the SEIBU KPP TRAIN decorated with Kyary Pamyu Pamyu’s popular songs. The SEIBU KPP TRAIN will operate in the area where Ms. Kyary Pamyu Pamyu was brought up. The 9000 series cars, which are used for the SEIBU KPP TRAIN, are normally operated only on the Ikebukuro Line. It will be for the first time in about 15 years that these cars are to be operated regularly on the Shinjuku Line. We hope passengers will have a great time using the SEIBU KPP TRAIN, which will operate for a limited time until September 29 (Thu.). Furthermore, to celebrate its launch on the Shinjuku Line, Seibu Railway will release a special movie on a special site for a limited time only. The movie shows a series of activities undertaken until completion of the SEIBU KPP TRAIN including the departure ceremony. This project commemorates 100 years of Seibu Railway, as it looks forward to the next 100 years, and five years since the debut of Ms. Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, as she looks forward to the next stage of her career. In the tie-up with Ms. Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, who comes from a neighborhood along the Seibu Lines, this project also aims to create colorful and rich images of the Seibu Lines, and to foster civic pride (affection and pride for Seibu Lines) among people living in areas along the Seibu Lines and its customers.
