Angel Heart (2015)
Japanese drama “Angel Heart” – 9 episodes (2015) I am a big fan of the City Hunter universe and Angel Heart so I was very surprised to see that Angel Heart was adapted into a drama. I watched it very quickly, my heart excited by the discovery. I was not disappointed from the first episode, I was even moved, the characters were well chosen! And I really like the presentation of the credits, simple but very telling and which summarizes the central story well. Synopsis We learn that Ryo and Kaori decided to get married. This is a happy news after so many years of teaming up as City Hunter.…

Chinese music from the 70s, 80s, 90s
I often listen to this youtube channel which offers compilations of random Chinese music from the 70s, 80s, 90s from Taiwan. Some of the songs move me and make me feel very nostalgic about my “old time” pleasures related to my life in Tahiti and Taiwan. It calms me to listen to them because they are always full of emotions, they talk about love, joys and heartaches. The lyrics are very beautiful. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFHoFHi3-_lh030g7VRLipg My favorite songs 我的唇吻不到我愛的人 “My lips cannot kiss the one I love” 我的好兄弟 “My good brother (friend)” 谁在意我留下的泪 “Who cares about my flowing tears” 没有你陪伴真的好孤单 “Without you by my side I feel so alone” What about you?…

Candy by Yumiko Igarashi & Kyoko Mizuki
[Shojo manga] Candy Candy – 9 volumes (1993) This manga was published in 1993. It is one of my favorite manga that always accompanied me in life. It is the very first shojo manga that I read, when I was a teenager. It deeply marked and touched my heart as a young girl. I wanted to be like her, mischievous and brave, to be joyful and authentic. Just like her, I wanted to live beautiful relationships, friendships and love, but especially to be able to meet my “Prince of the hills”. I think that after that, I always knew that I was made to live in a couple, a life…

Jade and the Sacred Mysteries of Life by François Garagnon
I offer myself this book for Christmas because of this quote, discovered on the web, which I found very beautiful and which made me want to discover the pages of this book. One recognizes true love when the silence of the other is no longer a void to be filled, but a complicity to be respected François Garagnon This book is very small and easy to read. And after I finished it, my heart felt soothed and like it was on cloud nine. It was just what I needed. It’s a very nice philosophical tale with the same enchanting magic as The Alchemist and The Little Prince. This book touched…

The Grimm Curse by Polly Shulman
My daughter Mimi is an avid reader. She sometimes tells me about her favorite books, and that makes me want to read the books she talks about. The opportunity arose in the last few months, I wanted to get out of my personal development books. Mimi was sure I would like this book because I love the world of retold tales. The heroine is a young teenager of 15 years old, her name is Elizabeth Rew. Her life seems to be that of Cinderella: a living but absent father, a shallow stepmother and two inconvenient stepsisters. Elizabeth struggles to fit in at her high school, but studiously catches the eye…

Haïku d’amour by Jean-Michel Léglise
Right now I am composing haiku to accompany my intuitive watercolor drawings. I felt like reading haiku about love to be wrapped in love this holiday season. I was drawn to the cover of the book “A Red Rose Wilting”. This simple 42 page book is all about love. The love of nature, the love of oneself, the love for two until its torments. I found pretty the haiku on the back cover : Si je pouvais être…le soleil qui te réchauffe,voudrais-tu m’aimer ? If I could be…the sun that warms you,would you love me ? I can’t imagine living without love and I need to feel it in every area of my life. This…

Future Boy Conan (1978)
[TV Series] « Mirai Shōnen Conan » – 26 épisodes (1978) I saw this old Hayao Miyazaki anime again and still love it ! Personally I think it hasn’t aged too much and I had a good time. Further the topics are always up to date ! Of course I introduced my daughters to this anime when they were little, and each time it reminds me of the sound of their childish laughter. Mimi gave her opinion… : That’s too good, the kids are too cute ! Conan is too strong. Gimpsy is funny, he zoos, he is more better, he is the best ! Conan’s quest The land and the sea are destroyed by the 3rd…

Grave of The Fireflies (1988)
The transience of life This is an animated film inspired by the autobiographical book “The Tomb of the Fireflies” by Nosaka Akiyuki, whose story takes place during wartime. The title says it all: “The Tomb of the Fireflies”. In Japanese culture, fireflies represent the souls of the dead and are a symbol of the transience of life. The beginning of the film is memorable and moving. I found the appearance of Setsuko’s spirit as the box of fruit candies (containing her bones) is thrown away to be a thing of beauty. I was seduced and moved by this moment of magic: lights flickering, they are fireflies in the darkness of…

Finally the Kingdom – Quatrains by François Cheng
François Cheng (born 30/08/1929) – Cheng Chi-hsien (程纪贤) is a Chinese writer, poet and calligrapher, he was naturalized French in 1971.I knew him through these interviews on the web and I admire him a lot. I love his author name which is 程抱一 (Chéng bào yī) which means “Who embraces Unity”. This is exactly what I feel in his words and scriptures. He forcefully embraces this Life in all its splendor, its purity by being one with Life! The Quatrain “As I grow older, I return to the essential form of the quatrain. The quatrain is special in that it is the most concentrated form, but it has a very…
