“Chihayafuru” (Animated TV show associated with Fukui)

Last week, Awara City in Fukui Prefecture was heating up with the animation event.
Some popular voice actors appeared on a talk show.
The 2000 tickets were sold out within two minutes.
Awara City is kind of a holy city for the fans of the animation.
I heard that the voice actors spoke Fukui dialect in their lines
as with vibrato at each end of words.
Also they enjoyed Fukui’s famous local sake “Kokuryu” and the hot spring in Awara as well :) (H.S)
