Mieko Kawakami interview 

Michael Emmerich is probably the best translator of Japanese to English that has ever existed! I seek out Japanese books translated by Michael, because I know they'll be good.

What an impressive translator

One of the most powerful author

Good translator. Actually great with a great memory too.

I'm reading a Japanese Short Story collection and Kawakami's story struk me the most. I never thought she would be so beautiful! She's in her 40s but still looks so young... wow.

I love mieko kawakami

Omg she is so beautiful 😍😍

Just finished All the lovers in the night today ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ed?

2:32 Does she fancy him? 🤔

With that low voice and week articulation, Mieko's Japanese is easier to understand than interpreter's English.
