Author Mina Miyajima of 'Naruse is out to conquer the world' specially releases a book review!
Mina Miyajima, a writer living in Shiga Prefecture, contributed a book review for 'Tsuda Diary' by Atsuhiro Tsuda, who is originally from Shiga Prefecture. This marks a wonderful collaboration between two individuals with deep ties to Shiga. The relationship started when Tsuda provided a recommendation comment for 'Naruse is sprinting through the capital,' which has now culminated in Miyajima writing a review for 'Tsuda Diary.' As a special exchange originating from Shiga, the full text of the review is being released to the public.
[What is 'Tsuda Diary'? Try reading it here]
Three weeks' worth of the 365 days of raw emotional entries featured in 'Tsuda Diary' are currently available to the public! In addition, the book includes columns, photo pages, and pictures of his actual physical diary. Please look forward to this unique book that only Tsuda could create.
[What inspired him to write 'Tsuda Diary'?]
At the end of 2024, a fortune teller told Tsuda, 'Buying a notebook with a yellow cover will improve your luck.' He bought a yellow leather notebook from Hermes and decided to write a diary for the entire year of 2025. Fighting with his wife, drinking with Daigo from Chidori, going to a sauna with Sekimachi from Rice, shopping with his son and daughter, struggling with radio shows, dealing with exhausting location shoots for a detective show... his daily life is spelled out frankly and honestly.
Written by hand every day in an era focused on time performance, 'Tsuda Diary' achieves a literary quality that even transcends the typical 'comedian book' category!
[Comment from the author]
'It is a masterpiece written by me, Tsuda. A movie adaptation is inevitable! Please read it! To those who buy it, I will give you an extra-large 'Suu'!!'
[Is Tsuda the new star of the 'Diary Community'?]
The 'Diary Community' is currently booming, especially among Generation Z.
As the name suggests, it refers to 'people who write diaries.' While traditional diaries were kept private and for oneself, the Generation Z diary culture does the exact opposite. The mainstream style now involves intentionally sharing daily events online via social media. As he turns 50, the day Tsuda becomes the new star of this 'Diary Community' might be near...!
