Welcome to “This Week in Nishinomiya,” where we look back at the openings and closings in Nishinomiya covered this week (9/23–9/29) on “Nishitsu (Nishinomiya Tsushin),” along with other topics that got people talking!
Hanshin manager Okada and players were waiting at Naruo・Mukogawa-joshidai-mae Station
Life-size panels of Manager Okada and player Chikamoto were installed at the station, and I’m guessing people seeing them for the first time were pretty surprised. They looked really realistic. Speaking of which, it seems panels of Manager Okada, Iwasaki, and Umeno have also been set up at Mukogawadanchi-mae Station starting today～.
There were lots of baby rays in the Shukugawa River
In a pretty unprecedented, “strange local sight” kind of scene, there were a lot of baby rays in the Shukugawa River. The Shukugawa is quite shallow, so the fact that they were ocean fish, rays, and babies all at once made the whole thing feel pretty chaotic lol

Something That Changed Inside Nishitsu This Week
There are two things this week.
We changed Shachomi’s icon
When we went to the Nihonsakari tasting event last time, a reader told us that the blond-haired icon 
was better than the black-haired one 
, and I kind of thought so too, so we changed it～. I’m usually out and about with blond hair, and my voice is male too, so I think I probably stand out a fair bit～.
前回は椅子があって、根が生える人が多くて回転が良くなかったけど、今回は立ち呑みスタイルで、いい感じ。

I tend to show up at alcohol-related events fairly often.
A huge number of stink bugs appeared
Recently, right around when the nighttime temperatures got quite a bit cooler, a huge number of stink bugs appeared.
There are two here, but there were many more.
A lot of them were flipped over like this.
One of these even got into our office. Maybe it liked bright places, because it was energetically flying around toward the lights, but by the next day it was gone. Maybe it got cold because the air conditioner was on. I looked for it, but couldn’t find it. If I spot it again, I’ll post a photo here.
And with that, stay tuned.
