『M 愛すべき人がいて』The story of encounter & separation hidden in the birth of a songstress

Oh man, I wanted to re-read masa's thoughts about LOVEppears now that I've read the book, but the site doesn't exist!

Does anyone have a copy of masa's thoughts. He sparingly posted in the past, wish he saw this!

[truehappiness]

It should still exist, I think we have a link for it.

His old host folded so he found a new one. I asked to have it changed a while ago but it hasn't been adjusted since.

Super thanks! I was using an older link.

It would be great to have the audiobook on videos w/ subs. That video, though, really does look great.

Erika Sawajiri was arrested for drug possession, guess she won't be portraying Ayu after all

I'm so heartbroken at this news...

[ExodusUK]

At age 33, she was never going to portray Ayu barely out of her teenage years anyway...plus they look absolutely nothing alike.

[Evan Odinson]

^Yeah I didn't like much the idea of her portraying Ayu (debut days) tbh but the way it happened is awful

[Andrenekoi]

Aaaw Erika :///

[chocopockymaster]

Fuck; I’ve been rooting for her so hard.

I always get suspicious when people are arrested for possessing drugs within their own home.

[koumori]

I didn't think she'd suit the look of early Ayu either, but the news itself is horrible. I've made a thread here if anyone else wants to comment on it.

[pedronekoi]

Whats saddens me the most is that she probably won't have a chance to get back to entertainment after that. What is so unfair, in my opinion. I wish the japanese media/entertainment world would be less severe with artists' "mistakes" (not that I think that doing drugs is a mistake, for me it's not like she's a criminal, IN MY OPINION).

The book is the 7th best selling novel of the year with 145,140 copies sold

[Corvina]

It's the 7th best selling book in its fiction genre.
For overall books it's not in the top 50, but in the top 100!

I saw that! Here's the link for anyone interested: https://www.oricon.co.jp/confidence/special/53961/14/

145,140 copies was done in just four months, too. Making it into the top 100 when competing with books that had eight more months to sell was pretty cool.

Was hoping for Amazon to have a Black Friday discount on this but guess Japan doesn’t give a damn about it lol Well, I’m finally getting it.

Anyone know how could I read a full English translation of the book? Since I can’t understand Japanese.

Just look at the thread of the book's translation in french. Use google translate to english.

It’s revealed that Shohei Miura will be playing the part of Max in the drama.

^I don't know him but he's a cutie, they really did a huge favor to Max casting him lol I wonder if they found the girl to play Ayu
