Today, August 3rd (Saturday), STU48, which is based in the seven Setouchi prefectures, boarded the Setonaikai Kisen “SEA PASEO”,
We enjoyed an elegant night cruise on the Seto Inland Sea together with our fans.
The boarding started with a welcoming from the other members. The departure was signaled by a countdown from Akari Fukuda, the first mate for the voyage.
At the photo spot, a photo session was held with the ocean as a backdrop, and Ozaki Serika called out to fans, “Welcome to ‘SEA Parsley'”, and Kurushima Yuka called out, “Welcome to Night Kurukuru”, using a play on her nickname. On the second floor deck, a bingo tournament and merchandise corner were set up, where the members sold merchandise while enjoying talking with the fans, and on the third floor deck, they had a great time playing with the fans in a “cornhole” game, a sport that originated in the United States. At the end, a DJ party was held on the Seto Inland Sea, where members sang, danced and made a lot of noise, led by DJ AKRINGO (Fukuda), and the excitement was high, with the audience shouting, “Thank you for the best night!!” It was an event that was fitting for the sea idol STU48, reminiscent of the STU48, with the gentle sounds of the Seto Inland Sea and an elegant cruise where you could feel the wind and waves.
Night cruises are also planned for the future, and the “Shima Tabi Cruise” which departs in the morning is also planned.
What is “SEA PASEO”?The ferry, named “SEA” (sea) and “PASEO” (promenade in Spanish), was created with the concept of a floating park on the sea, expressing the fun of strolling along the route and the feeling of a park on the sea, as “a park for everyone to enjoy traveling on the Seto Inland Sea,” something that has not been possible with previous ferries. It runs on a regular route between Hiroshima, Kure, and Matsuyama.
