Obviously, being born and raised in Kyoto have certain advantages.

Then again, I have a thing for Kyoto accent, it tend to make me all warm n' fluffy inside

*cough*Hisakawa Aya*cough*

Hisakawa Aya is from Osaka and is renouned for her Osaka-ben in the industry, and yes she can swap easily between the dialects.
