I understand this is an image of Natsuki Shinomiya from the mobile video game “Shining Live”, in a level called “Fairy Tale Concerto”

With the coming of the solstice, warm, sunny weather has been unleashed throughout our homebase of Vancouver, BC, and I can see that the weather has been on the mind of our programmer Bruce, who curated a playlist of songs from the sunny side of the street to appear on this week’s hour-long episode of CFRO’s weekly Accordion Noir radio broadcast. If your Apple or Android podcast subscriptions (strongly recommended!) haven’t alerted you to its availability yet, you can enjoy listening to it as digital audio courtesy of the Internet Archive. Here’s its playlist!
