Shogakukan-Shueisha Productions announced on August 31 that Tsumugi Wenders from 'Summer Pockets' is now the tourism ambassador for Ogijima in Kagawa Prefecture. The appointment coincides with Tsumugi's birthday and the 'Ogijima Lighthouse Summer Pockets Festival vol.4,' which includes a 'Lighthouse Candle Night' recreating a birthday scene from the game.
The appointment was announced by Shogakukan-Shueisha Productions on August 31, with a press release detailing the collaboration between the Ogijima Tourism Association and 'Summer Pockets.' A newly drawn illustration by Yūnon Nagayama and a newly recorded special voice from the cast accompany the announcement.
August 31 is Tsumugi's birthday, and the game includes a scene where that day is celebrated with candles. The festival's 'Lighthouse Candle Night' recreates that scenery at the Ogijima Lighthouse, which served as the model for the lighthouse in the game. The festival also includes the 'Ogijima Lighthouse Opening' and a 'Special Talk Event.'
A quiz rally runs on the island until September 30, with courses divided into 60, 90, and 120 minutes. Participants visit anime-related spots and receive course-specific bonuses, including trading cards, smartphone wallpapers, tenugui, clear files, and exclusive distribution content.
