This is the compelling story of a brutal crime and the two teenagers―Ryo, the son of the murdered man, and Yukiho, the daughter of the main suspect―whose lives remain inextricably linked over the twenty-year search for the truth behind the crime.In Osaka in 1973, the body of a murdered man is found in an abandoned building. Investigating the crime, Detective SasagakI is unable to find the killer. Over the next twenty years, through the lens of a succession of characters, Higashino tells the story of two teens, Ryo and Yukiho, whose lives are most affected by the crime, and the obsessed detective, Sasagaki, who continues to investigate the murder, looking for the elusive truth.Under the Midnight Sun is a complex, psychological novel about crime and its after-effects by one the most read and most accomplished contemporary mystery author. A twisting, compelling work that will astonish and delight Higashino’s old fans and new readers alike. Journey Under the Midnight Sun, originally published in Japan in 1999, is Keigo Higashinos fifth English-translated novel following Naoko, The Devotion of Suspect X, Salvation of a Saint and Malice. Of those five, I believe this is his best work. Currently, it is only available in the UK but English-reading fans of Higashinos writing outside the UK can easily order a copy from a third-party seller.The novel begins in Osaka in 1973 when a man is found stabbed to death in an abandoned building. Detective Sasagaki, the lead officer investigating the case, follows several leads and meets two young children: Ryo, the son of the murdered man, and Yukiho, the daughter of one of the murdered mans acquaintances. Ultimately, Sasagaki is unable to solve the murder. The remainder of the novel is spread over the course of nineteen years. Structurally, the novel may seem like a series of short stories at first. Each chapter introduces and goes into the mind of a new character. However, every character is somehow linked to either Ryo or Yukiho and unusually strange crimes continue to occur.Higashino crafts a very complex and psychological human mystery here. The plot is much darker than his previous translated works but succeeds in allowing the readers to forge an emotional connection with Ryo, Yukiho, Sasagaki and the vast cast of characters introduced over the plots near two decade span. Readers who pay close attention can solve sections of the chain of mysteries through intuitive reading, which is key as Higashino doesnt spell everything out for his audience. The 539 page length of the novel allows it to strongly develop its characters as well as address thematic ideas of society, pain, guilt, morality, love and humanity from multiple unique perspectives. Beneath its murder mystery exterior, Journey Under the Midnight Sun has a hidden humane heart.

  • Japanese Publishing Industry Summary 1． Market Overview
    Industrial Report (C) JETRO Japan Economic Monthly, July 2005 Japanese Publishing Industry Japanese Economy Division Summary In 2004, Japan's publishing industry reversed course to show an increase in book sales due to the release of several million-sellers. The aggressive use of a marketing technique known as "media-mix" along with comprehensive publicity and advertising programs are credited with this development. While Japan's publishing industry has traditionally consisted of publishing firms, distribution agencies and retail stores, the emergence of the Internet has spawned new forms and channels of publishing. Other significant developments in the publishing industry include the increased popularity of Japanese comic books and magazines overseas. 1． Market Overview The All Japan Magazine and Book Publishers’ and Editors’ Association estimates publication sales in 2004 at 2,242.8 billion yen, a 0.7% increase over the previous year and the first such increase in eight years. Books accounted for 942.9 billion yen, a 4.1% increase over last year, while magazines only registered 1,299.8 billion yen, a decrease of 1.7% (Fig. 1). Several million-sellers created a bright spot in the 2004 sales figures although the weeklies led the slide in magazine figures.

Atraídos por el trasfondo patente de la novela negra, y animados por la creciente popularidad del género negro que ha sido empujado en los últimos años por la vertiente nórdica, nos acercamos a las distintas caras del crimen en unas sociedades que hemos idealizado. Sin embargo, a pesar del reciente auge de popularidad del género negro, en España todavía no se ha consolidado y el paso de la novela negra japonesa por el país español está pasando inadvertido, así como se hace notoria la escasez de teoría literaria sobre el género negro desarrollado en los países del sudeste asiático en general y en Japón en particular. Aprovechando este vacío, el siguiente trabajo se presenta como una introducción a la novela negra japonesa, una aproximación al género desde una nueva perspectiva, analizando su desarrollo en el país nipón a partir del canon occidental. De este modo, se investigará el contexto discursivo del género literario desde su aparición en Japón a finales del siglo XIX hasta la actualidad, así como se analizarán las condiciones sociales, económicas y políticas que propiciaron la creación del mismo.

    An Introduction to Publishing in Japan 2014–2015 JAPAN BOOK PUBLISHERS ASSOCIATION An Introduction to Publishing in Japan 2014-2015 © Japan Book Publishers Association 2014 Edited by International Committee, Japan Book Publishers Association Published by Japan Book Publishers Association 6, Fukuromachi, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo 162-0828, Japan Tel: (03) 3268-1303 Fax: (03) 3268-1196 www.jbpa.or.jp Printed in Japan Preface This booklet is intended to serve as a brief summary of and an introduction to the Japanese publishing world. As a result of rapid internationalization in recent years, there has been an increase in the number of opportunities for those of us in the Japanese publishing industry to make contact with people in the publishing industry in other countries. Contact with foreign publishers involves not only practical business matters but also discussion of the present publishing situation in Japan. The volume of information on Japanese publishing available to foreign publishers is far less than the amount of information about overseas publishing available to us in Japan, largely because of the barrier of the Japanese language. We at the JBPA believe that it is necessary to take advantage of every opportunity to broaden and deepen overseas knowledge about the Japanese publishing world and to further our understanding of our foreign counterparts. This booklet was produced with those two goals in mind. We hope it will be used as a handy reference tool at book fairs and other international gatherings. March 2014 International Committee
