“Miracles of the Namiya General Store/ ナミヤ雑貨店の奇蹟 ”

Yamada Ryosuke’s Namiya movie has started filming in Bungotakada, Oita it’s a small town in Kyushuu (outside of Fukuoka) and you need to take a plane to get there, so If Yamada has a filming schedule in Tokyo he has to travel quite far. 

Veteran actor Toshiyuki Nishida will be in this movie too, He was one of the Japanese Academy Award presenter when Yamada won his Rookie award.

Lots of fans came to see Yamada filming in Bungotakada. Apparently theirs even patrol cars and police for Yamada but then Hayashi Kento just normally walks around town. 

These are the rumored cast in Namiya

Machiko Ono

Hayashi Kento

Nijiro Murakami (he is murakami jun’s son, semi’s partner iwanishi in Grasshopper)

Not sure why I watched Namiya (2017) last night. Because I was testing my vpn, something. It has a strong cast, cameos by Qin Hao and Chen Duling included, but I should have noped out the minute it became a magic realist feel good story about a couple of generations of orphans getting advice from an old man (Jackie Chan) in a corner store.

Two hours of my life I could have spent watching Love in Pavilion.

[Book] Namiya ~P398 (Fin)

Did I actually read an entire book in the span of two days... HUH???

After the whole nitpicking I did for the previous (still on read) book I did... After a mere 24 pages of what I read as a 'slow reader'.... HUH??? Okay. It's just different. Even after being so engrossed in the first chapter of the book, it's just authentic reading experience which I clearly didn't get from Hkmr-ch??? This one also sets in Japan, but actually written by a Japanese person so I feel like it just flows more naturally? Rather than an amalgamation of stereotypes and pop-cultures meshed up to tells a story... I mean. I don't know. I haven't read more than 24 pages for that one. BUT ENOUGH.

(spoilers)

See. The premise is well, three kids (which later I realized aren't actually kids) ran away after a robbery, they stopped by a seemingly abandoned store in the middle of somewhere. Planning to stay until dawn, they're welcomed by an arrival of a mysterious letters. They wrote back, and later realized it's a letter from the past. Time seemingly paused while they're in that store.

AND SO. AND SO. I'm not a book reviewer so!!

What I like about the story is that it actually connects very neatly! Each chapter seemingly starts out from different characters sub-stories, but later on it slowly entangle and later wraps the story nicely by the end. I don't know how to phrase it, but the usage of time-loop as the driving point of the story is also good!! I like the trope!!

What broke me is not the end of the story, but rather this chapter where there's this guy. He was ambitious and very motivated at first, he worked very hard, given the dilemma of pursuing his dream or continuing the family shop. He decided on following his dreams in music, leaving his family to pursue his carreer. But few years pass, his grandmother passes. He returns home and realized although how strict his father was to him, he didn't mind actually letting his son pursue his dreams (although maybe he also felt upset that he couldn't keep his family shop to continue due to age and stuff.) The son ended up struggling in his journey on becoming a succesful artist. Sure he went on small concert and stuff, but he never actually "made it". There's this one time he went on an orphanage to perform, and one of his song he wrote ended up reaching a (I assume sad and depressed) abused kid, he ended up talking with her, knowing she has a younger brother who is also abused by their parents. The orphanage had a fire. This aspiring musician ended up helping the abused kid's brother although it ended up took his life away.

I suck at retelling stories.

I felt sad for him! He have a big aspiration, the nerve to actually pursue his dreams, he worked very hard, but didn't actually arrive where he wanted. It broke me because seeing him second-guess his decisions he took, he didn't know it back then but his music did save someone. And it's just :'))))

UGHHH i wanted to tell more about what i think about this book but my head is dizzy now i never used all this brainpower to read... maybe marathoning a 400pages book in mere two days isn't a good idea. BUT!! BUT I'M GLAD.

There's this one thing that also resonates with me. A blank paper. Many people have their own maps, but sometimes they're just lost or didn't know where their position are. But others may have a blank paper instead, although they know where they want to go, they didn't know which way, but, so maybe they just needs to change perspective, or just decided on their own way. Although I know this already but I guess I haven't really look at it like that.

Ah... I will make a proper review one day...!

The best love for me. Không biết có điều kì diệu gì, vô tình nhìn thấy bìa sách và thêm tựa sách, tôi như chết mê với nó, đáng tiếc vì lí do nào đó nên chưa kịp rước nó về. Về sau như một thói quen, tôi cứ muốn tìm nó đem về, và điều kì lạ là tìm hoài vẫn ko thấy, chế độ-sold out everywhere. Kể cũng may mắn thay, trong một lần vô tình ở hội sách, không suy nghĩ gì mà chộp ngay kẻo lại lỡ. Một quyển sách tuyệt vời về cuộc sống và động lực. Những lá thư như phần nào mang nỗi niềm, hoàn cảnh khó khăn, lạc lối trong cuộc sống chuyển vào. Đơn giản mà gần gũi, không gian thời gian, ý chí nghị lực vươn lên, những lời động viên như truyền lửa giúp những hoàn cảnh éo le tìm được điểm sáng của cuộc đời. Tình cờ biết được nó còn có cả chuyển thể phim, hiển nhiên tôi nhất định phải xem. Tôi xem lấy xem để cả hai phiên bản Nhật - Trung. Với con người lười như tôi, việc đã biết mà bắt tôi xem lại thì tôi chỉ muốn qua loa cho hết, dù gì mình cũng biết cả về chúng. Kì lạ thay, lại có thể ngấu nghiến trọn bộ phim, mà còn là liên tục và cả hai phiên bản. Không so sánh, đánh giá gì. Chỉ đơn giản là thoả mãn vf tuyệt vời. Đặt biệt trong hoàn cảnh bản thân bây giờ, nó như xoáy đúng vào mọi nổi lòng của tôi, như mắng chửi, như nhắn nhủ, như động viên, như giúp tôi đỡ bơ vơ trơ trội. Dù chã có thư đi, cũng chã nhận hồi âm, nhưng đủ thoả mã và trọn vẹn. Cảm ơn Namiya. Tiệm tạp hoá tuyệt vời.
