Music from Murakami World

A variety of music titles appear in Haruki Murakami books.
Story keeps going as if it is a common word.

A song from 'Norwegian Wood'.

For Christmas I bought Naoko a Henry Mancini record with a track of her favorite, "Dear Heart". I wrapped it myself and added a bright red ribbon.



-Japanese-

村上春樹の本にはたくさん曲名が出てきて、
まるで誰でも知っている日常の単語のようにさらっと流してストーリーは続いていきます。

「ノルウェイの森」より

クリスマスには僕は直子の大好きな「ディア・ハート」の入った
ヘンリー・マンシーニのレコードを買ってプレゼントをした。
僕が自分で包装して赤いリボンをかけた。

Momoさん、こんばんは。
改めて村上春樹を読んでみました。
『もし僕らのことばがウィスキーであったなら』と『国境の南、太陽の西』の2冊です。今後も読まずにいなくて良かった。おそらく2,3日中にシングルモルトを手に入れていると思います。

Kazuyukiさんも村上春樹がお好きで嬉しいです。Jazzと美味しいものが欲しくなりますね。彼の独特な世界は小説とは少し違う・・濃厚な時間が楽しめます。

Hiking @ Mt. Fuji

Pictures of Mt. Fuji where one of spiritual places in Japan. You can drive to halfway up the mountain. It's about two hours hiking course from there. Many people like to try climbing up Mt. Fuji. It's a popular way that people spend a night at a co ttage and start around 2am to see sun rise at the top, however I have never tried it. R einforcement work is under way as mountain slope is sliding down. I didn't make any effort, instead I just felt autumn there. It was a clear day after rainy days that took off orange osmanthus petals. Fujisan with rainbow Rain cleanses us and brings next season.

Folding Keyboard Ryudo

Today is Aquarius new moon. Write down 10 wishes on the paper or note. Handwriting is key. This is folding keyboard, the maker is Ryudo. I was interested, but hadn't had long years. Because I have laptop. But we don't bring computers daily, do we? So I started to think, if I had that, I might write more often... Before buying it, I investigated which keyboard was the best as there were so many kinds. First of all, It has to be light, otherwise, it will stay at home. And thought of the place where I mostly would use... it would be on a train, not a cafe as I commute long hours every day. So it has to be small and quiet.  I don't want to bother others. If I use a keyboard on my bag when I seat, my iPhone needs to place to stand, Ryudo is compact, ideal typing and has a stand. It's not very strong but enough to hold my iPhone 7 plus. One thing I cared was that Ryudo was battery powered not chargeable. So I looked over all ot...

Edo Sushi Sasaki

Sushi Sasaki @ Ginza People in Edo started to have Sushi and a restaurant started using fresh fish. 'Edo' means old Tokyo during from the 17th to 19th centuries where used to be a city of Samurai, and Osaka is for merchant at the time. Uni (Sea urchin) And NOW, Sushi chef in Osaka cut up a fish from stomach but chef in Tokyo do it from back. Because Harakiri (commit ritual suicide by disembowelment) is avoidable for Samurai, and Hara wo waru ('Breaking stomach' means heart to heart talk) is high end spirit for merchant. That's what the chef at Sasaki talked ^^. Sake Ebi (Prawn) Toro (Fatty Tuna) Anago (Conger) Uni (Sea urchin)
