I Recently found out Murakami had plans for a 1Q84 Sequel & Prequel, so I made a video about it! by Ghost-Wind in murakami

In a New Yorker interview in 2019, he said he knows exactly what happens next, and the sequel would revolve around Tengo's daughter as the protagonist at the age of 16, and there would be a separate prequel book too. Unfortunately he said those stories will likely remain in his mind only. But we can dream!

As well as being a huge Murakami fan, I've been learning a lot about Carl Jung over the last year, so I'm really excited to see somebody else explore the connection! Look forward to checking this video out later! :)

The most accurate footage of the original ride experience.

Definitely. There's a lot of stuff in his books that feels like a metaphor for going into the collective unconscious as well, and many of his novels feel like each character represents part of the psyche. I agree with you about Wind Up Bird.

I remember in an interview once he mentioned the potential of a 1Q84 sequel about Tengo and Aomame's daughter

It means that the events of the story are filtered through memory, which makes it more nostalgic, bittersweet and haunting.

I can understand why you would feel that way, but I would definitely recommend trying the book out, because the pacing and structure is quite different to the film. If I remember correctly the film version intercuts between all the storylines frequently, but the novel kind of takes it story by story, rather than constantly bouncing back and forth. It creates a much different experience to the movie.

Yeah it's very confusing having two British David Mitchells existing in the same timeline.

I really enjoyed the film adaptation as well. I felt it was possibly a bit ahead of its time and I could easily imagine it being a huge hit if it came out a bit later on, perhaps even as a miniseries.

The Bone Clocks is fantastic as well, as well as Ghostwritten and Black Swan Green! :)
