Readymade's Konishi Yasuharu (ex-Pizzicato Five) is not only a songwriter and producer, but also a writer. He contributes columns to lots of magazines and books, about music and any other topic. This new book collects his columns from 1993 to 2008. The title borrows from a book by Uekusa Jinichi, and translates to "I liked walking and trivia."
352 pages, some color. A keeper!
This is a bit of a continuation to previous book "kore wa koi dewa nai" ("This can't be love") released in 1996, which was also a collection of columns from 1984 to 1996.
There will be autograph sessions in Tokyo. Stay tuned.
