Haruki Murakami distribution title: https://www.audible.co.jp/ep/haruki-murakami [Comment from Takao Osawa]
I thought that Haruki Murakami was above the clouds, but after reading this work, I realized that even amazing people like Haruki Murakami can worry about trivial things, and at the same time I felt encouraged and kind. I got used to it. It was a work that made me feel that humans are endearing. When reading aloud, Haruki Murakami openly describes his own weaknesses and strengths, so instead of trying to express emotion or create a strange voice, I was conscious of my own feelings. I did it while doing so. This is a work that I want people who are living hard to listen to. When you listen to something with your ears, you can feel it resonate deep in your brain, and I listen to my favorite works over and over again on Audible. Please enjoy it on Audible.
