Weekly Japanese Pop Culture Thread (June 3, 2026)

Welcome to The Avocado’s weekly discussion of Japanese pop culture! I went to a temple festival yesterday, and it was in the news! This was after we left, but still, pretty neat. If you want to learn about the festival, check out the article and video here. Or you can just look at the few pictures I managed to take.

And, as always…

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

Happy Wednesday! 🐺
