Neko to Itsutsu Me No Ki Bushi

[Machine Translation] Singer-songwriter Toshiaki Yamada ( Gomez the Hitman ), who is well known for his lyrics that delicately describe the small scenes of daily life with a keen sensitivity, has written his first autobiographical novel in which he has soulfully described the 13 years he lived with his beloved cat in a fresh style. This is a moving true story of the author's miraculous experience as it is in the form of a novel! I was a musician who had longed for a major label debut. However, the reality was harsh and I could not get any hits. If the next single did not sell, my contract would be terminated. I met Pochi, a tortoiseshell cat, during a jacket photo shoot for what might be my last single. A year later, through a series of coincidences, I came to live with Pochi. Pochi the tortoiseshell cat has been by my side through good times and bad times, and has been a great support for my new start as a musician. I thought we would be able to live happily together forever.... I was overcome with sadness, but Pochi's soul performed an unbelievable emotional miracle! This is a record of days filled with love that will give you a chance to think about what is truly important and to reconsider it after the pleasant emotional experience. This unprecedented "cat novel" is also a practical introduction to cats and cat ownership, carefully describing the important basics of living with a cat.
