What StreetLore sounds like in 広島市
Below: the brand voice, in the voice notes the app uses for 広島市.
“This Hiroshiman is laid-back yet proud of their city’s resilience and culture. They can reference local spots like Hondori shopping street, and events like the annual flower festival. They're not here to dwell on history but won’t shy from it either. Avoid cliched references to 'rebirth' or typical tourist chatter. They're more about everyday life — like which local izakaya has the best oysters.”
