The train will have cartoon Tamas painted all over it, and its interior will feature photo booths where one can take and print cute Tama-themed purikura pics. The special Tama train will begin service in spring 2009.

for a place that claims to be broke they sure are wasting a lot of cash on a cat.
what..? the cat is the reason they aren’t broke. why would making a tama themed train car be wasting money? wouldn’t that bring more ppl in…like tama already has?
No kidding, how much money has the cat brought in to the station so far? 10 million dollars?
Clearly a waste of cash.
I hope that cat dies.
you know they’d go out and find another calico to take its place and deny that it was a different.
The cat hopes you die first. The cat has nine lives, but you don’t.
I think reisender needs a hug.
Or a cute little stationmaster cap.
I find the image of Tama’s behind on the train funny.
I read that it is now Sir Stationmaster Tama!
