Welcome to The Avocado’s weekly discussion of Japanese pop culture! It’s my last week in Japan so I’m going to be incredibly lazy and use the same header image I created for the Day Thread to celebrate Fuma’s birthday and show off some of the birthday cafes I went to (not all, just SOME). But the videos are different! In case you missed it, I got to sing happy birthday to Fuma on Sunday along with an arena full of fans, the other members of &TEAM, and my two friends, so it was basically the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I’ll be back home soon, so I can share all the stories and photos and cry about how I wish I never had to leave Japan.

And, as always…

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

Happy Wednesday! 🐺
