I'm so excited to have come across another book that lets me this kind of post, which I enjoy creating immensely! So without many words this is the playlists with all the songs and artists mentioned in Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami.
In this list, I included many pieces of classical music, which actually feel important to the novel in some way or another. When a song was named by its title I put it on the list right away, if an artist was only mentioned then I chose one of my favourite songs by this artist and if an album was the case then I chose a song from that particular album.

This is a really interesting playlist! There's tonnes of variety which I thought was really cool. I find it interesting that Murakami seems to always incorporate music into his books, and quite a range of music at that. I'm not too knowledgeable on classical music, but I do play the piano so I recognise all the composers you included, at least. And the Beatles songs are great too, naturally.
ReplyDeleteMusic is always taking a big spot in Murakami's work. I believe that his first job was on a record store. Indeed this novel had a great variety of songs mentioned and a lot of classical pieces. I had a lot of fun creating it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful playlist. Music is my first love even before books. You just became my new favorite person! I sometimes make playlists on our site for the comics I review. The only book I've done so far is Fight Club. I made my own playlist in honor of Jack.

Thank you! I always get excited when I realise that a book has enought songs to form a playlist, it's one of my favourite segments of the blog! I will go check out your Fight Club playlist, seems pretty interesting :)
