The Enjoy the Power of Language event began in Hachinohe City, Aomori, surrounded by snow.
Toshio Machinaga, an active journalist, was asked to be the MC, and former announcers Motoyo Yamane and Miho Nakai were asked to do the reading. In addition, children who attend the Morino Otogi-kai, a reading group that has a tradition of over 100 years in the area, performed a heartfelt rendition in the southern dialect of an old tale that has been passed down from generation to generation in Hachinohe.
