Something very beautiful today! 凱風館 is the name of an aikidō dōjō, and it's read Gaifūkan.

凱 means victory or victory song. It's read かちどき, やわらぐ, ガイ, or カイ. It's only used in proper nouns, so you should be fine if you can just remember it vaguely (e.g. that it looks a lot like 嵐 storm with the components rearranged). In this style, I like how the bottom left radical 豆 (bean) looks just like the hangul (Korean letter) 효 hyo. And, because I can sound out hangul but don't know any Korean, I've just now learned that 효 can mean filial piety, which in Japanese is 孝 (radicals: 耂 old + 子 child), read コウ or キョウ. So there's your bonus fact for today!

風 means wind, air, style, or manner. It's read かぜ, かざ-, フウ, or フ. The word 凱風 [がいふう] used here is a not-very-common noun meaning southerly wind.

館 means building (especially large building), mansion, or palace. It's often used as a suffix for types of buildings or building names. It's read やかた, たて, or カン.

The concept of Station Idol Latch is so hilarious to me that I can’t stop thinking about it and I’m gonna purposefully get myself obsessed because I think it would be funny but also I’m gonna single handedly curate the English speaking fanbase
