GDH K.K ("GDH"; HQ: Tokyo; President: Shinichirō Ishikawa) announced today that, in cooperation with Nippon Travel Agency Co., Ltd. (HQ: Tokyo; President: Akira Kanai) and Akihabara Nishiguchi Shopping Street Promotion Association (Offices: Tokyo; Director: Shusuke Yamamoto), using an original Solty Rei animation created by group company GONZO K.K. ("GONZO"; HQ: Tokyo; President: Koji Kajita), GDH will hold an event called the Akiba Shoshinsha Q-sai Tour.

The Akiba Shoshinsha Q-sai Tour is intended for people who are interested in hot spot Akihabara but do not know where the things are and is one day event to introduce Akihabara. Since the character that appears in Solty Rei is used as an image character for the Akihabara Nishiguchi Shopping Street Promotion Association, GONZO and the association are collaborating under the umbrella of an Akihabara area vitalization project called the MOTTO AKIBA PROJECT and Nippon Travel Agency will plan and execute the tour. In this tour, GONZO shows a Solty Rei preview and allows people to visit the GONZO production studio, which is not usually open to the public. This is the first package tour in Akihabara area fully backed by the Akihabara Nishiguchi Shopping Street Promotion Association.

GDH will proactively promote GONZO animations and provide services to GONZO animation fans to energize the animation market.
