    SEARCH Contact Us Site Map BREEZE #92 JUNE, 2015: BREEZE ISSUE #92 Like 0 Share A Free E-Newsletter for Friends of Japan & Teachers of Japanese GREETING FROM THE DIRECTOR June is the month of rain in Japan. The rainy season usually starts in the middle of June and lasts for a month in most areas except Hokkaido. In pre-war Japan, ‘June Bride’ had been commonly avoided in order to avoid damaging kimonos worn by the marrying couple as well as the guests, and only became popular in the 1970s when this western concept was imported and utilized by the wedding industry to stimulate sales during the traditionally quiet month. So let us pretend for a moment that it is raining outside during the entire month of June in LA, so you can ‘chill out’ on the comfy chairs in our hall to watch Japanese cinema, engage in inspiring conversations with lecturers on Japanese culture, or get your hands dirty with all things Japanese in our workshops. June is also the beginning of summer and we will be organizing another Japanese Language Summer Camp for Teens this year! If you are one of those parents who complain that the kids are only playing Pokemon games all day, why not give them what they want, an authentic encounter with the culture that bred Pokemon and hundreds of thousands of other cultural expressions, traditional and modern. Our staff members here have many, many more ideas up their sleeves for future events. We will keep you posted. Meanwhile, your comments or input for future programming are always welcome and appreciated.

    Hugvísindasvið The Function of Music in Norwegian Wood From Page to Screen B.A. Essay Alan Searles May 2012 University of Iceland School of Humanities Department of English The Function of Music in Norwegian Wood From Page to Screen B.A. Essay Alan Searles Kt.: 010770-2389 Supervisor: Martin Regal May 2012 2 ABSTRACT Haruki Murakami published Norwegian Wood in 1987; Tran Ahn Hung adapted the novel to film in 2010. This essay investigates the function of music in the novel and compares it with the function of music in the film adaptation. To support my thesis I have provided some background theory on adaptation of music from novel to film and investigated the use of music in other novels by Murakami and in other films by Hung. The main body of the essay consists of a detailed analysis of the music in the novel and the way it is used to provide deeper insight into the emotions and psychology of some of the main characters. This is achieved by analysing the underlying meaning of the songs and lyrics. A contrast is drawn between the use of music in the novel and the score of the film. Music in the film is not part of any diachronic reference system as it is in the novel. Instead, it is mainly used to add emotional depth to certain scenes and enhance the general atmosphere of the film. Although certain songs in the film are associated with characters and themes, they serve a very different function and one that is not synonymous with Murakami’s novel.

    20 Established 1961 Lifestyle Gossip Sunday, January 13, 2019 Sarah Hyland opens up about her fight with depression he 28-year-old actress has opened up about her depression T which affected her when she had a secret second kidney trans- plant after her first one failed, and now she has spoken candidly about how she got. Appearing on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’, she said: “I would write letters in my head to loved ones of why I did it and my reasoning behind it, how it was nobody’s fault. I didn’t want to write it down on paper because I didn’t want anybody to find it. That’s how serious I was ... It ended up being myself that got me out of that. I had to do it on my own. I told myself I had to do it on my own.” The ‘Modern Family’ star turned to a friend and verbalized her thoughts, which sparked a change and “helped immensely”. However, Sarah was keen to point out that while it worked for her, she understands everyone with depression handles it differ- ently. She added: “Every person with their anxiety or depression or if you have suicidal thoughts, every individual is different, so I wouldn’t just rely on everything that I say. “I’m just sharing my story. But I think talking to some- one and saying it out loud really, really makes it sound almost ridiculous and it puts it into perspective.” Now, almost two years on from the second proce- dure, the star is feeling much better and can now enjoy her life, including vacations to Mexico with her boyfriend Wells Adams.

    Mongrel Media Presents NORWEGIAN WOOD A Film by Anh Hung Tran (133 min., Japan, 2011) Language: Japanese with English Subtitles Distribution Publicity Bonne Smith 1028 Queen Street West Star PR Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M6J 1H6 Tel: 416-488-4436 Tel: 416-516-9775 Fax: 416-516-0651 Fax: 416-488-8438 E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] www.mongrelmedia.com High res stills may be downloaded from http://www.mongrelmedia.com/press.html SYNOPSIS Published in 1987 and since translated into 33 languages, NORWEGIAN WOOD is a story of loss and heartbreak in a time of global instability. Haruki Murakami’s bestselling novel is brought to the screen by Tran Anh Hung (Golden Lion winner for CYCLO and Academy Award nominee for THE SCENT OF GREEN PAPAYA) and features Japanese rising star Kenichi Matsuyama (DEATH NOTE, DETROIT METAL CITY) and Oscar nominee Rinko Kikuchi (BABEL) alongside newcomer Kiko Mizuhara. Tokyo, the late 1960s…Students around the world are uniting to overthrow the establishment and Toru Watanabe’s personal life is similarly in tumult. At heart, he is deeply devoted to his first love, Naoko, a beautiful and introspective young woman. But their complex bond has been forged by the tragic death of their best friend years before. Watanabe lives with the influence of death everywhere. That is, until Midori, a girl who is everything that Naoko is not – outgoing, vivacious, supremely self- confident – marches into his life and Watanabe must choose between his past and his future. ABOUT THE NOVEL A nostalgic story of loss and sexuality, NORWEGIAN WOOD’s protagonist Watanabe looks back on his days as a freshman university student living in Tokyo.
