Finished!

From an editing perspective, I would have liked some footnotes to explain Japanese or Korean terms and expressions that weren't always straightforward.

However it is an impressive work. The amount of research the author has carried out is stunning, as she covered almost a century of Korean immigration in Japan and beyond.

Every story is realistic. The only unconvincing plot development concerns Noah, IMHO.

I went to the library earlier and borrowed the French edition of Min Jin Lee's #Pachinko.

I figured I might read the novel before watching the #kDrama.

Another is reason is that American Hagwon, Min Jin Lee's next novel, is coming out soon and I want to find out if I like her writing style.

Sent to me from The Other Place. I did actually laugh out loud.

Even as prediction platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi have surged in recent years, Japan — like China and South Korea — remained a no-go zone due to strict anti-gambling regulations. That may be starting to change. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/06/29/companies/japan-prediction-markets/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #apps #gambling #casinos #pachinko #japaneseeconomy

She had to be rid of him, to stop this endless recollection of the one person she wished to forget.
Sunja took a deep breath. Kyunghee was wringing her hands.

#Reading #Pachinko #MinJinLee #Books

The broker's desk was made of an unfamiliar wood—a rich dark brown color with teardrop-shaped whorls the size of a child's hand. She counted three teardrop whorls on the surface. When she'd gone to collect mushrooms with Hansu, there had been innumerable types of trees. The musty smell of wet leaves on the forest carpet, the baskets filled to bursting with mushrooms, the sharp pain of lying with him-these memories would not leave her.

Seeing the excellent Youn Yuh-jung in Beef season two reminded me of how much I enjoyed Pachinko seasons 1 and 2

Moron Police is an odd band, if the moniker didn’t give it away. The first few albums were very comedy-oriented, but A Boat on the Sea suddenly saw the band tackling anti-war themes, without giving up the bright melodic sound that draws from progressive rock and anime soundtrack J-rock alike. Production on Pachinko was already on the way when drummer Thore Pettersen died in a car accident. After taking the time to mourn their friend, Moron Police soldiered on, aided by Dillinger Escape Plan drummer Billy Rymer. The result is an astounding album in every regard, an experience unlike anything I’ve heard in years. It’s also a concept album about a dude getting turned into a sentient gambling machine in Tokyo. Huh?

Pachinko by Moron Police

Everything about Pachinko is larger than life. It’s as colorful as its gorgeous cover, full of energy and possessed of an indomitable spirit, a quirky sense of humor, and endless love and compassion. The narrative, which seems to be inspired by isekai anime,1 is merely a vehicle for philosophical ruminations on the nature of life, fate and human connection in a world designed to wear you down to apathy. No two songs are alike or tackle these subjects the same way, and you can get snippets of darker lyrics dressed in bright colors (“King Among Kittens”), pure silly nonsense (‘Meee, I’m a techno boy’ in “Pachinko Pt. 1”) or melancholy reflections on the follies of power (the brilliant “The Apathy of Kings”).

Despite its colorful outer layer, Pachinko is more than just feel-good vibes. It’s a masterwork of both composition and technical wizardry. The melodies are intricate yet catchy, and never go exactly the way you expect. Nor do the songs themselves, because the way they weave together different moods, genres, and tempos is nothing short of staggering. Violins over blastbeats in “Cormorant,” melancholy synthpop in “Okinawa Sky,” jazzy whirlwind intro leading into big band brass for “Alfredo and the Afterlife.” And the title track suite turns it up to eleven for a combined 16 minutes of head-spinning avant-garde genre-hopping madness.

Yet for all this craziness, it’s remarkable how tightly woven and cohesive the hour-long album is. Songs frequently cross-reference each other to really emphasize the album experience, with “Pachinko Pt. 1” even referencing A Boat on the Sea directly. This peaks with the magisterial finale, which effortlessly binds snippets from across the album together into a gorgeous feast of reprise. It doubles as a heartfelt farewell to Thore, whose drums are used for the outro. Moron Police has taken their grief and turned it into a grandiose, madcap celebration of life and friendship with a wink, a smile, and a tear. An instant classic and one of the best albums I’ve heard this decade.

Tracks to Check Out: All of them, front to back.
