Firstly, special thanks to an anonymous Japanese-speaking friend who graciously proofread the following translation.

Beginning with my first translation entry, I present a brief message from An-chan (Inami Anju, seiyū of Takami Chika of Love Live! Sunshine!!). The source is from an edition of Walker 2, which featured guides on anime pilgrimages to Numazu and Hakodate.

Wanting to discover more wonderful places in Numazu!

Source text

I am really happy to have returned to Numazu for the Fan Meeting Tour! We told the audience there that we’re back, and they warmly replied, “Welcome back!” I suddenly felt the welcoming atmosphere of that Fan Meeting Tour session.

Recently, Osezaki – where some of us went to once – has become one of my favourite places! It was nice to be able to dive there and discover the wonders of Numazu! Since young, I have liked the seas, and found marine sports to be so amazing that I have always wanted to apply for a license! [laughs]

We want to continue to seek out the wonders of Numazu, and convey their appeal! Therefore, I am really thankful that everyone, together with Aqours and Numazu’s people, shares a mutual love for the city.

Thank you very much for always supporting us! Please continue to support us from here on too!

Notes

Osezaki is a cape in Nishiura, west of Uchiura, Shizuoka Prefecture. An-chan, Rikyako, and Suwawa were once featured in an edition of DIVER, wherein they talked about their journeys in Osezaki (see the translation by Team ONIBE).
