Coconuts are a hot topic due to national policy.

The Japanese government has been forced to deal with soaring rice prices due to a shortage of rice on store shelves that has persisted since late last year.

The Minister of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries, who was replaced as a result of this problem, is attempting to lower market prices by releasing a large stockpile of rice.

Rice reserves held by the government in case of crop failures include rice harvested the previous year, the year before, and even three years ago.

In Japanese, rice harvested last year is called "co-mai ('co' means old and 'mai' means rice)," rice harvested the year before is called "co-co-mai," and rice harvested three years ago is called "co-co-co-mai."

This time, the government has decided to release even the stockpiled rice harvested three years ago, and the phrase “co-co-co mai” has been seen in the news and articles every day.

Mononofus who see this all seem to recall the "coconuts" of MCZ, calling out “co-co-co...” repeatedly, and many comments linking rice and MCZ have been seen on social media.
