Life in Fukui

The other day (April 23rd, 2017), the center of Fukui City was full of people.

 

西武福井店屋上で行われたJETSショー

Fukui Commercial High School’s cheerleader club, "JETS" performed at the department store, "Fukui Seibu" located in the shopping area of the west side of Fukui station. The rooftop of "Fukui Seibu" which is usually opened for the rooftop beer garden during summer time was full of people for their performance. Right before the doors opened, there was the long line of people waiting and it was snaking from the 8th floor to the 1st floor. It was even snaking its way to the outside of the building.

 

福井初のディズニーパレード

On Higashi-odori street which is in front of the eastside of Fukui station, there was a Disney parade in Fukui for the first time. According to Fukui Newspaper, there were about 80,000 people for the parade. The population of Fukui City is about 265,000 which means that one third of the population of the City came out for the parade.

 

I felt the power of intriguing content. I realized that the importance of showing interesting things which can catch many people’s attention such as performance of the cheerleader club, “JETS” and Disney parade.
