A little consolation for anyone who keeps pulling duplicate Decor Pikmin again and again

Your collection gaps may not be getting any smaller,
but apparently, brisk walking for about 50 minutes a day
can lower your risk of colon cancer by around 20%
compared with being completely inactive!

The fish keep jumping into my cooler!!

Lately, I’ve been getting 200 coconuts surprisingly often from normal mushrooms.
I’m not even fishing—the fish just keep jumping into my cooler!

Lederhosen

I’d be curious to hear how German readers felt about “Lederhosen” from The Elephant Vanishes.

A Special Day (Qixi Festival) 🎋

I got 200 coconuts from three "normal" event mushrooms in a row today!

Then I looked it up and found out that today, the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, is Qixi Festival, traditionally associated with making wishes.

Hear the Wind Sing and American Graffiti

I like Haruki Murakami's debut novel, Hear the Wind Sing, for its loose, effortless feel and the way the story moves quickly from one episode to the next.

A few years ago, I watched George Lucas's American Graffiti. It strongly reminded me of the atmosphere of Hear the Wind Sing.

I also seem to recall that both works involve a character using a radio show to send a message to someone they have no way of contacting directly.

Another similarity I noticed is the structure. Both stories follow several characters in parallel over roughly the same time period, with their individual storylines loosely intersecting rather than focusing on a single central plot.

My memory of the details may be wrong, so please correct me if I am misremembering. Has anyone else noticed a connection between the two?
