replies: text: Yes, I wonder if someone could explain what it is that makes "Hiropon" and "My Lonesome Cowboy" critiques of westernization. If anything, they seem almost transhumanist in depicting novel transformations of the human body; although art from its very beginnings has depicted bizarre, grotesque, and amazing modifications of human biology beyond its natural range.

replies: text: This article is awful. Unencyclopedic, problems with tense agreement, praising tone, unnecessary information. Is the average reader going to care about Murakami's "hundreds of pocket sketchbooks" or that he uses Adobe Illustrator? And with the odd noun usage and marketing language, some of the sentences look like they've been lifted directly from a company brochure (i.e. "Kaikai Kiki is not only involved with how can we best make a piece of art with high quality and concept, but with a system of checks and balances, supply and demand."). 69.142.79.134 01:00, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Poku?

message: Having finally discovered what hiropon means (it's the Japanese pronunciation of Philopon, a brand name for a certain type of methamphetamines popular in early post-war Japan), I am curious if anyone has any sources on why Murakami named his "Hiropon Factory" and several works after it. I've never seen any explanation or discussion of the subject... and if we can find some, it'd be great to include in the article. LordAmeth (talk) 19:01, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
