This one has definitely stuck in my head. The idea of loss without knowing what you've lost hits hard. Memory is such a fragile thing.

I'm not a Takeru Satoh mega fan, it's a coincidence I binged a bunch of his shows this week, but I have to say, the last one I watched and just finished, First Love, was BY FAR the best of the three. I loved this show, it's dark, it's real, the actors are all phenomenal.

And it's weird, I can only find people comparing the two shows, but nobody comparing them both to the original webtoon. Does nobody realize the story was a webtoon first?

I should watch the Korean version next, I'm curious to see if they followed the story better than the Japanese version. I only watched this one because I wanted to see more Takeru Satoh.

I loved this revenge webtoon a lot, it's one of my favorite revenge stories after Monte Cristo. I enjoyed the show, but I was annoyed they removed or downplayed the revenge aspect so much and made other changes to the story. Adaptations can be so frustrating.

I turned on Glass Heart randomly to test out my new Bose earbuds to try the immersion mode, and then got hooked. I didn't know he was even in it until later. It had some predictable moments, but overall I liked it, mostly because of Satoh's character.

ありがとございます 😊

FINALLY!! うれしい!

"I believe there are people out there, like the ones I met through my world tour, who have been waiting for me for a long time. The thought of them makes my body feel lighter, and it makes me feel much more positive. That is how I want to continue."

"For example, in the album artwork, there are these stop signs, and they were just like the ones I had imagined when I created it. These things really led me to believe that it was written in the stars that my last show would be in L.A."

"I realized that it was not a mistake for me to be living in this place. I eventually came to understand that living a long life means there will always be losses and mistakes will happen. By gaining that perspective, I became lighter that's the emotional shift between STRAY SHEEP and LOST CORNER."

Or pre-order from your local indie bookshop since B&N and Amazon are only having sales right now to screw over Independent Bookstore Day tomorrow.

On the other walks I've been listening to podcasts in Japanese to get more exposure to conversational Japanese, instead of just apps. My favorite is this one (of course).

I feel like it's all helping and I'm breaking through the wall and finally moving forward!
