Welcome to “This Week in Nishinomiya,” where we look back at the openings, closings, and trending stories in Nishinomiya covered this week (4/15-4/21) on “Nishi2 (Nishinomiya Tsushin)”!
The line for “アイスはじめました。”, which opened on the 14th, was incredible. Maybe because they were offering a 300-yen opening special, the line stretched nearly 100 meters.
“うなぎ割烹 善” has opened near Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi. It looks like they’re closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, and open for lunch and dinner (in two seating times).

Something That Changed at Nishi2 This Week
This week’s update comes from the recently rising
.Inside is Shacho @ Nishi2
There are two updates this week.
Shachomi’s Wig Got a Refresh
To get through our cold winter YouTube livestreams, I wore this:

A new character named Shachomi appeared, wearing a long-haired wig for cross-dressing.
It’s fine in winter, but there’s no way I could get through summer like this.
I’d probably end up with heatstroke.
So…

I renewed the wig into a bob!
This is what I look like, but yes, I’m an old guy. I’m planning to wander all over Nishinomiya in this look for interviews through spring and summer!
