Welcome to The Avocado’s weekly discussion of Japanese pop culture! I hope to have the energy for something more substantial next week, but for now it’s more Kana Nishino (西野カナ) partly because I’ve been living exclusively on a musical diet of her, &TEAM, and Mrs. GREEN APPLE the last couple weeks to survive. And also I saw this “Summer Song Selection” playlist on her YouTube, and with summer coming to an end where I live it felt like the right thing for the last August thread of the year. Enjoy!

And, as always…

What have you been watching/reading/playing/eating/listening to lately?

Happy Wednesday! 🍙
