Ummm.....What's Onigiri ? I've heard of it many times. But have no idea what it is.

I love tuna.
ツナ、おいしいよね。
Onigiri is a rice ball.

lol Oh yeah, I remember now. I should have known.....

What is the typical filling for a rice ball? How is it made? Do they just take the filling and compact rice around it?

You sort of compact the rice first, into a lopsided ball, then make an indentation and put the filling into that. Then you sort of wrap the rice around the filling, shaping it into a round or triangular shape.

Oh I see now. It's a pretty basic procedure. I heard some say tuna. Is that a popular filling? I have also seen jelly inside a riceball. Is that common? Or it could have appeared to be jelly. And could easily be something else.

I`ve never heard of jelly..... Are you sure you`re thinking of onigiri and not mochi? I can imagine jelly in mochi, but never in an onigiri.

Personally, I don`t like tuna ones. The tuna gets weird and the whole onigiri gets funkily soggy.
