Reggie's "Fast Culture: People Who Want Answers in 10 Minutes" Impressions - The Dark Side of Modern Japan from the Perspective of Culture. A stimulating work that cuts to the mechanisms of influencer popularity.

What is the darkness of modern people who try to consume culture as if it were fast food?

I was really interested in this book when I saw it on my Twitter timeline!

This book is not simply a work written to criticize "Hiroyuki, Atsuhiko Nakata, Kazu Laser, DaiGo, Yusaku Maezawa, Takafumi Horie" and other influencers.

Rather, the work carefully follows the mechanisms of modern society as to why we are attracted to such influencers.

I really appreciate this book for my love of reading. I recommend it!

Kenichi Yoshida, "The Forensic Scientist's Mission: To Keep Human Death Alive" - Sudden death was surprisingly close to us.

In this book, we learn that we are exactly the ones who do not know when we will die, and that many people actually die from sudden death every year. I believe that this book plays a significant role in the coronary disaster. In this article, I would like to introduce the book and share my thoughts about death in our daily lives.

The Dead and Spirituality: Reconsidering Modernity, edited by Fumibishi Sueki, How to Face Death Today in the Wake of the Corona Disaster

This book is very important because of the current moment in the Corona Disaster. How should we think about illness and death? How should we deal with invisible beings? Are we so blindly trusting in science and rationality that we have lost sight of what is important? This is a book that makes us think about such things.

Now our view of life and death is being questioned.
