Rewatch Value 8.0 Tragic and yet beautiful in the dark side of love. This drama is too heavy that I get too depressed and saddened over it. OMO! Those tone is too heavy also, they really set the right atmosphere to set the mood with good music transition. T__T A suspenseful, professional-grade north country procedural whose heroine, a deft mix of compassion and attitude, would be welcome to return and tie up the gaping loose end Box leaves. The unrelenting cold makes this the perfect beach read. While I had started reading the book knowing fully well that this is not going to be a mystery in the traditional sense (Higashino simply enjoys breaking all the ‘rules’ that we associate with a mystery), the book left me literally gasping for breath as I raced towards the end with the Detective. Was I eager to see their fall? Yes. Oh God, yes! I wanted them to be destroyed, killed, ruined, burnt alive, thrown to wolves, fed to the grinder, etc. And I also wanted to see just what height they can reach taking this dark road until someone comes with the thunder. And all along, I also felt very-very sorry for them, as I also started joining the dots inside my mind to understand exactly how they had started this walk. If you really ask yourself this: "Why do they have to commit crime over and over again? To cover their sins?" -- Actually, children can't blame for their actions when they respond to anything. I mean, THEM. Why? They are only children. And their experiences leads to a traumatic situations that if they've been found out, they will do the same thing to cover it again. It's like "Defense Mechanism". Hhhhmm.. Am I right? :

But try this on for size. A blank map means you can fill it in however you like. It’s entirely up to you. Everything is open; the possibilities are limitless.Though it’s not philosophical, the book is also a reflection on many of the more traditional elements in Japanese society. The traditional and heavily patriarchal design of the traditional Japanese family unit, for example. The highly protective attitude of Japanese businesses towards intellectual property (the book being set in the 80s, as software became an asset that Japanese law would subsequently protect). The bulk of the crimes being committed transgress these more traditional values – i.e. it’s the bad guys stealing software and the woman looking for a life beyond the role of housewife is the dangerous one – and in this way Journey Under The Midnight Sun skews in a generally conservative direction with the values that it espouses, though that’s by no means unusual for this particular genre, particularly when you consider that it’s borrowing so heavily from classical elements of the crime and noir tradition. this is a drama with a story that i doubt i will ever find it again, i love it as much as i hate it, and i have this kind of mixed up feeling while watching it, what they did is really bad and wrong but i really want them to be together and happy bcuz they suffered enough for their whole life and their relationship is really beautiful (exclude the crime). These are styleframes of its title sequence, the texts showed in the designs is a quote from the novel: Anyway, if you're familiar with the novel "Gone with the Wind".. You will somehow knew about these two very flawed people I'm referring to. :) English edition: Journey Under the Midnight Sun (London: Little, Brown, October 2015), ISBN (print) 978-1-4087-0411-0, (e-book) 978-1-4055-1680-8; American edition: Under the Midnight Sun (New York: Minotaur Books, November 2016), ISBN (print) 978-1-250-10579-0, (e-book) 978-1-250-10580-6.

Journey Under the Midnight Sun by Keigo Higashino | Goodreads

The store manager of the "Kirihara" pawnshop, Isamu knows a lot of secrets about the Kirihara family. He later approaches Ryoji as a broker of unauthorized game software.Written by Keigo Higashino, translated by Alexander O Smith — It’s no exaggeration to say that Keigo Higashino is a phenomenon in Japan. Popular and multi-award winning, he’s been putting out books steadily for the past 30 years, which means there’s a rich vein of potential translations to mine. Journey Under the Midnight Sun is a dark, convoluted tale, marked by Higashino’s characteristic sleight of hand.

Keigo Higashino Quotes (Author of The Devotion of Suspect X)

A stunning beauty, Yukiho is the daughter of one of the suspects of the pawnshop homicide 19 years ago. A primary school student then, she lived a poor life with her mother. Her mother died in an accident shortly after the murder. Afterward Yukiho was adopted by Karasawa, received a good education, and turned into an upper-class lady with manners and elegance. Her academic grades were excellent, causing a lot of envy. People close to her often fall prey to misfortunes. It’s a beautiful thing. I can only hope this helps you find a way to start believing in yourself, and to move through life with no regrets.” Another sweltering month in Charlotte, another boatload of mysteries past and present for overworked, overstressed forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan. The relationship between teacher and student is based on illusion. The teacher is under the illusion that he is teaching something, and the student is under the illusion that he is being taught. What’s important is that this shared illusion makes both teacher and student happy. Nothing good is gained by facing the truth, after all. All we’re doing is playing at education.” The son of the victim killed 19 years ago, Ryoji's eyes have been dark and emotionless since the childhood incidence. He loathes getting close with other people. He started to get involved in shady businesses like housewife prostitution rings and game bootlegging when he was a student. He is a very astute man who possesses professional software skills. He loves to use vintage scissors of his since childhood and is very good at paper cutting. (The English translation by Alexander Smith renamed him Ryo Kirihara for reasons unknown.)The owner of the "Kirihara" pawnshop and Ryoji's father, Yosuke was killed 19 years ago. He cared about his son very much. He discreetly had some unusual sexual interests... The reader's craving for continuity is satisfied by the invisible persistence of Detective Sasagaki. After the initial murder investigation, his appearance is intermittent and sometimes he is not even identified by name. Yet, he persists, even after the statute of limitations has expired, even after his own retirement, determined to uncover the trail of crimes and damaged lives that were set in motion by that one elusive murder case. Of all the characters, he is also the most opaque. Not even he can explain his obsession with this case.
