I'm only just now reading your review of In The Miso Soup and I think, if you're not totally soured on Murakami (or at least the past 3 months have settled your distaste), that his novel Coin Locker Babies is more your speed. Its been years since I read it, but ugh it was sooo good!! The twist is much better, too. Also it's only available in English, so no chance to poorly translate your native language lol
Oh I'll give it a try! The premise looks interesting. Yeah my main problem really was the translation (the silly twist i can forgive lmao) and I generally enjoyed the characters and the more uncomfortable/distressing themes he explored
we consider it to be a dodged bullet i guess... hopefully that girl switches studios in the future so my sister can get tattooed by her lmao
felt you at the movie sounds... reason why i dislike watching them :-- (
It's worse if you go to a theatre and someone has decided the gunshots should be at their real-world volume. No one brings ppe to the movies though (or do they?)
I swear I don't understand why that type of sound design is so in rn it drives me mad, and yes god forbid youre at the cinema
