The Hirosaki Keizai Shimbun's 2020 PV (page view) ranking No. 1 was an article about the apple farmer's farming vehicle "Bage".

The articles ranked 1st and 2nd were both about apples. The 1st place "Bage" is an open car with the roof of a light truck removed, and introduced that the post of Twitter account "F apple farmer" attracted a lot of attention on the net.

In second place, Twitter account "Barter" posted a photo of apples filled with 100% honey, and introduced that more than 130,000 retweets and about 820,000 likes were received. Apples with too much honey had poor storability and had no taste, so they were thrown away, so apple farmers responded, "Why buzz?"

The third place is an article about the heavy snowfall on February 9, which tells us that the amount of snowfall in Hirosaki for 72 hours exceeded that of Sukayu, which is known as one of the most heavy snowfall areas in Japan.

The 4th place "Moai Shokudo" is a Chinese restaurant that opened even in Corona, and the 8th place pizza restaurant "Pizzeria Mia" opened during the state of emergency. In 10th place was an article telling that the renewed Ito-Yokado Hirosaki store "Loft" and "MUJI" opened.

The 5th place "Too Free Calligraphy Exhibition" ranked in for the first time in 2 years. Since the theme of the work was the name of Yuru-chara, I also retweeted "Funassyi" and Kuroishi's Yuru-chara "Nyango Star". The 6th place reported that the average height of the apple girl was 170 cm, and the 7th place introduced that the giant clay figurine monument at Kizukuri station had 7 colors, literally "bright news". I told you.

Due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, the Hirosaki Cherry Blossom Festival and the Hirosaki Neputa Festival were canceled this year, making it an unusual year. The influence of Corona is expected to continue next year, but the Hirosaki Keizai Shimbun wants to deliver news that will be as lively and energetic as possible, focusing on the topics of town news and the Internet.
