This video is a collaborative conversation with Harunobu Okuno, a Japanese culture enthusiast and MC of the popular YouTube channel "Reiji Yamada's Young Sunday," which covers topics related to manga, anime, and culture. Starting with a talk about Yasunari Kawabata, about whom Murakami became interested after watching the Young Sunday program and who even went on to create his own work, the two discuss the evolution of Japanese literature from the Edo period to the present day, and the newly discovered context of intersections. ▼Yamada Reiji's Young Sunday @reijinoyoungsunday ▼Murakami Takashi Instagram / takashipom ▼Murakami Takashi X https://x.com/takashipom ▼Kaikai Kiki main homepage https://www.kaikaikiki.com ▼Table of contents0:00 Opening2:10 Why talk about Kawabata Yasunari11:44 About Kawabata Yasunari13:35 Modern and post-modern novels18:08 Nervous system literature and armpit odor literature21:18 How have novelists responded to the modern era27:11 What is the other world genre?31:15 The three elements of light novels37:04 The path to the birth of light novels47:29 The three elements of the Narou genre52:24 Distribution number ranking54:59 The unknown greatness of "TenSura"1:06:24 What era did light novels begin in? 1:10:14 Light novels are a revival of Edo literature1:11:44 The destiny of Japanese literature beyond the modern era1:18:24 The twists created by the uniqueness of the Japanese language1:25:52 Breaking away from literary isolation1:33:24 Towards an era when light novels can win the Nobel Prize1:36:47 Ending #Takashi Murakami #Kaikai Kiki
