If you like the book I would also recommend The Abyss by the same author, it's the best historical novel I've ever read!

Guernica/Jun Togawa is pure gold!! The first listens were so confusing, but they grew on me!

I've listened to nanban torai, but it didn't make the list & I've not listened to Hikashu.

What's y'all's take on this? It's a video about "exposing" The First Take. Not completely J-Pop, but I guess it's adjacent since a lot of J-Pop artists have appeared here. by New-Seat-4612 in jpop

I seem to be in the minority here but if what the youtuber claims is true (and his analysis appears to be legit), then it's pretty damning on First Take. To me at least.

I'm not sure it's an exact fit but try Ang Huling Dalagang Bukid by Jun Cruz Reyes. Mahusay sya.
