Tonight's theme is a picture theme with a text explanation. Please see the resources.

The round being 777, I wanted to have an element of "luck" to the theme. We've done luck as clovers before, and loud slot machines are limiting in inspiration. In my research, the Tanuki kept showing up. While they are a real breed of dog, they're often depicted in a mysterious, supernatural context and are considered extraordinarily lucky if all white. They're also considered tricksters - an element of mischievousness to their luck. Quickly review this article but give yourself time to write your song, and best of luck! 🍀

You'll know the Tanuki when you hear it :) This was fun!
