K-ON! Houkago Tea Time Wrapping Train けいおん! 放課後ティータイム ラッピング電車
K-ON! けいおん! is a manga/anime series about 5 highschool girls forming a band called Hougako Tea Time (hereafter HTT) 放課後ティータイム. 2 TV anime series and 1 movie were produced. To commemorate the fifth anniversary of the TV anime series, the K-ON! Houkago Tea Time Wrapping Train けいおん! 放課後ティータイム ラッピング電車 will be operating in Keihan Ootsu Line 京阪大津線 between 2014.10.06 and 2015.03.31.
The main characters are Yui 唯, Mio 澪, Ritsu 律, Tsumugi 紬, and Azusa 梓.
Shiga-ken Ootsu-shi 滋賀県大津市 - Keihan Ootsu Line 京阪大津線
The photos were taken either at Ishiyamadera station 石山寺駅 or at Oumijinguumae station 近江神宮前駅. The train consists of 2 cars, the northern one and the southern one. Since the train line is basically a north-south straight line, the orientation of the train will not change.
In the middle of the shooting, I bumped into the previously covered (April 2014) Chuunibyou demo Koigashitai! Ren 中二病でも恋がしたい! 戀 (hereafter C2BR) wrapping train.

The nearest train stations are Ishiyamadera station / Oumijinguumae station 石山寺駅/近江神宮前駅 of Keihan Ootsu Line 京阪大津線.
