    [Book Review] Librarian, Hardships

    This is a simple and heartfelt narrative about the everyday lives of those in the librarian profession 📚. If you’re hoping for a book with endless powerful prose or captivating entertainment that you can’t turn away from, ‘Librarian, Hardships’ isn’t it. The author doesn’t exactly have a knack for writing with flair. Personally, I don’t…

  • From Young Dreamer to Metal Enthusiast, Live Wire

    From Young Dreamer to Metal Enthusiast, Live Wire

    Particularly, the chorus ‘Now this fluttering heart…’ meshed with the guitar riff, sends adrenaline rushing through your veins. If the air pressure of this guitar riff could burst my eardrums, I’d gladly let it. Anyone might find themselves thinking, ‘If my eardrums must burst, let it be to this guitar riff!’ What a beautifully foolish…

  • Inside Out 2 Wasn’t My Thing

    Inside Out 2 Wasn’t My Thing

    I remember being absolutely enchanted by Inside Out 1. The whimsical idea that independent entities control our emotions and that these dynamics determine how we express our feelings—it’s a bold and unscientific imagination. But the plot was so intricately woven that despite the biological inconsistencies, I was utterly absorbed in the story.

    ‘Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage’ and the Basics of the Author

    I’m the type to mercilessly set aside books that don’t grab me, almost a dropout enthusiast. Sometimes, I wonder if I read just to find books to abandon! My meter’s always maxed out to the right, and I’ve never been the kind to think, ‘Maybe it’ll get better’ with warm optimism. That’s what makes Haruki…

    Why Faces Get Bigger

    ‘If you look closely, the eyes, nose, and mouth don’t change much. It’s the edges of the face that expand. At first glance, you might think the features are becoming more central, but really, it’s the outer area that’s growing.’

  • What We Talk About When We Talk About Love – Raymond Carver

    What We Talk About When We Talk About Love – Raymond Carver

    It’s rare to see more than three people conversing in a typical novel, and the reason is simple: it’s tough to construct such scenes in writing. Many stories are linear simply because that method makes writing easier.

  • Love Wins All IU

    Love Wins All IU

    IU’s new song ‘Love Wins All’ dropped yesterday. 🎶 I loved seeing IU and V in the music video, the piano intro, her crackling vocals, and the cloud-walking verse. But personally, I adored the song introduction released alongside it the most. 🌈

  • Owls Soar at Twilight

    Owls Soar at Twilight

    You can write anytime, but it’s essential to wait until the story bubbles up inside you, until you can’t help but write. Like a shopkeeper waiting for rain, a farmer waiting for harvest, or a fisherman waiting for the float to move, you need to wait for all the ideas to clump together into a…

  • How Many More Full Moons Will I Witness?

    How Many More Full Moons Will I Witness?

    At the book’s end, there’s an epilogue by Masafumi Suzuki, who interviewed Ryuichi Sakamoto for this book. While I tried to remain composed reading the main text, this part broke my heart.

  • ‘The Roundup 3’ and ‘How Do You Live?’

    ‘The Roundup 3’ and ‘How Do You Live?’

    Speaking of which, the advice to always show up when you like someone is so true. Initially thought Don Lee was destined to play villains forever (sorry!), but the more I see him, the more he seems like a masterpiece actor.
