Japanese Books With Cats

"The Guest Cat" by Takashi Hiraide (trans. Eric Selland)

An author and his wife move into a new house and start getting visits from their neighbor's cat.

"The Travelling Cat Chronicles" by Hiro Arikawa (trans. Philip Gabriel)

Nana the cat is on a road trip with his person, Satoru. He doesn't know where they're going or why, only that they are visiting Satoru's old friends.

"The Cat Who Saved Books" by Sosuke Natsukawa (trans. Louise Heal Kawai)

Bookish student Rintaro Natsuki is about to have to close his late grandfather's bookshop when a magical talking cat named Tiger enlists his help to save the world of books.

"If Cats Disappeared from the World" by Genki Kawamura (trans. Eric Selland)

Our narrator's days are numbered as he finds out he is going to die. His only solace is his late mother's cat Cabbage, until the devil shows up and wants to make a deal.

"I am a Cat" by Soseki Natsume (trans. Graeme Wilson and Aiko Ito)

Written from 1904 through 1906, Soseki Natsume's comic masterpiece, I Am a Cat, satirizes the foolishness of upper-middle-class Japanese society during the Meiji era. With acerbic wit and sardonic perspective, it follows the whimsical adventures of a world-weary stray kitten who comments on the follies and foibles of the people around him.

"Oh Tama! A Mejiro Novel" by Mieko Kanai (trans. Tomoko Aoyama and Paul McCarthy)

Oh, Tama! takes the reader deep into the haphazard lives of Natsuyuki, the protagonist, and his loosely connected circle of dysfunctional acquaintances and family. Trying to keep some semblance of order and decency in his life, working as an occasional freelance photographer, Natsuyuki is visited by his delinquent friend Alexandre, who unexpectedly entrusts him with his sister's pregnant cat, Tama. Despite his initial protests, Natsuyuki accepts his new responsibility and cares compassionately for Tama and her kittens.

"She and Her Cat" by Makoto Shinkai and Tsubasa Yamaguchi

This is the story of Miyu, a woman who lives alone with her cat, Chobi. As Miyu navigates the world of adulthood, she discovers both the freedom and loneliness that come with living independently, and Chobi learns of the outside world through her actions. Time drifts slowly for Miyu and her cat, but the harsh realities of the world soon catch up...

"A Man and His Cat Vol. 1" by Umi Sakurai

Convinced he will never find a home, an "ugly" pet shop cat is thrilled when a man comes in and falls in love. These are their adventures together.

Stardom 2024 predictions a la "3 Count"

If you guys haven't seen the WrestleTalk series "3 Count" I highly recommend it. Basically, it's predicting something, or looking back on something, and describing it in three words or less. I wanted to use that format to give my Stardom predictions for 2024. I can look back on these next year and see how many I got right :) Feel free to comment your own or give your thoughts!

Some of these are a little more lacklustre than others. For example, I had nothing for Ruaka to do XD You'll see that a bunch, ones that have the vibe of "creative has nothing for you".

Some of these might be '''controversial'''??? I don't know, but it's all meant in good humour, so please don't @ me with slander cos you disagree with me XD I don't think the Stardom/wrestling community is like that at all honestly, it should go without saying, but nevertheless :)

2023 was a tricky year for Stardom, so I'm hoping for some great improvements and more awesome content in 2024!

The Who's Who of Hipipo

("Open Image In New Tab" highly recommended!)

one of my favourite scenes in "Osomatsu-san: The Hipipo Tribe and the Glistening Fruit" was the climactic chase featuring cameos from many reoccuring and one-off characters (some of whom also appeared in the film's opening) from all three seasons of the anime - some well-known among fans of the franchise, others not so much.

[harapeveco]

If we ever get a knk anime (lmao as if) I just hope no one at the studio even dares to cast Takahiro Sakurai, Yuichi Nakamura, Hiroshi Kamiya, Jun Fukuyama, Daisuke Ono and Miyu Irino as voice actors I swear if someone even thinks about it I’m personally going to Japan and stop them myself…oks maybe I’ll give a pass to Jun Fukuyama bc I think his voice would fit Dancer mostly if he does a funny one but he’s on thin ice
