Gate One Inc. announced that from Tuesday, January 6, 2026, a new program “Nanashi Academy Dialect Research Group” will start airing in FamilyMart stores (except some regions). This program features talents from “Nanashi Ink,” which has popular VTubers, and allows viewers to learn about different regional dialects in a fun quiz format.

Introducing Regional Dialects in a Fun Quiz Format Nationwide

“Nanashi Academy” has been airing since 2024, and this “Dialect Research Group” adds further charm, showcasing the depth of the Japanese language. The program progresses with lively interactions between members and a quick-paced quiz format to offer viewers new discoveries of words from across Japan. This program offers a new experience combining learning with entertainment.

Official X Setup and Coordinated Campaign with FamiPrint

Along with the start of the program airing, the official X is also set up, sending out airing information and highlights. Campaigns that can be participated in by following and reposting are also planned. Additionally, the sale of original bromides coordinated with FamiPrint has been announced. Sales will run from 10:00 AM on Tuesday, January 6, 2026, to 11:59 PM on Monday, January 4, 2027, making it a must-see event for fans.

Expanding the World of “Nanashi Academy”

“Nanashi Academy” is deepening ties with other programs and is set to appear on “Familypay Otoku Discovery.” Through such multifaceted approaches, the charm of “Nanashi Academy” will further expand. Additionally, from the stores with FamilyMart Vision installed (store installation information), regional and entertainment information is delivered, providing new value to customers visiting FamilyMart.

Impressions and Prospects

This new project is highly appreciated as an attempt to provide opportunities to learn about regional cultures, not just entertainment. By introducing regional dialects in an enjoyable way, it promotes interchange between regions through media and plays a role in deepening understanding of diverse cultures. Expectations are high for the further development of “Nanashi Academy.”
