The nostalgic, lo-fi charm of Trooper Salute graces the cover of this week's newsletter. Their latest EP, which channels the spirit of early Soutaiseiriron, leads a lineup full of comebacks and contrasts.

We also dive into FCO. (the psychedelic garage return of Tempalay's leader), explore D.A.N.'s 14-minute conceptual journey, and get cozy with Rachel's (chelmico) melancholic Christmas track. Finally, in our "Closing" segment, a reflection on AKB48's historic 20th Anniversary concert at the Budokan and the poignant image of Minami Takahashi needing oxygen backstage—a reminder that eras change, even if the spirit remains.

今週のニュースレターの表紙を飾るのは、Trooper Saluteのノスタルジックなローファイ・アート。初期の相対性理論を彷彿とさせる彼らの最新EPが、今週の特集をリードします。

さらに、FCO.（Tempalayフロントマン）によるサイケデリックなガレージサウンドへの回帰、D.A.N.の14分間にわたるコンセプチュアルな旅、そしてRachel（chelmico）が贈るメランコリックなクリスマスソングも紹介。最後に「The Closing」では、日本武道館で行われたAKB48結成20周年記念コンサートを振り返り、舞台裏で酸素を吸入する高橋みなみの姿を通して、時代の移り変わりと変わらぬスピリットについて想いを馳せます。

To complete the look, The Duchess of Cambridge wore a pair of Fenix golden pumps by Aquazzura, O’Nitaa earrings first worn during the tour of Pakistan tour and her citrine cocktail ring.
