I listened to the audiobook version since it was included in my Spotify subscription.
I’ve been in do-nothing mode for the past few years, and it’s a frequent struggle to be “okay” with it. Moriomoto hides a powerful and compassionate message behind the nothingness: someone who does “nothing” still has value. And the “nothing” may be a real something that’s not so easy to quantify in our conventional numbers-oriented civilization.
There’s plenty more I could go into regarding philosophical questions on the how friendships evolve and what our expectations become of those close to us. But I’ll save that for when I have more energy to write, and just leave it as a recommendation if you want an easy read or listen.
I agree 100% with that philosophy! It’s a mentality that I feel should be more prevalent, I’ll be sure to check out this book.
BTW, I am a fan of the musical work you’ve done, and I have cherished your Monster Tale soundtrack ever since I first heard it as a child. I hope the best for you, as well as your tracker project.
Thank you! Monster Tale was a joy to work on, especially getting the freedom to develop theme music for all these new characters in a brand new IP.
