Good Night,
Space & Time

I realized after I drew this that it looked way more suggestive than intended lol. I always wanted to draw this scene from Heart-Shaped Karaoke Box as I always pictured it so clearly. But Miriko is actually standing when she delivers this line in the book then she flops onto the bed.

Meet Miriko, the newest up-and-coming pop star to climb the charts. Born to a German father and Japanese mother, the family moved from Germany to Japan when Miriko was little. Never feeling at home in regular society, she found her place among celebrities after getting scouted by Japan's biggest record label. Bubbly and effervescent, Miriko's voice charms audiences across the country. And her chance meeting with Eva changes the trajectories of both their lives.

🌸And that's all four of our main characters! Now which love interest are you asking on a date?#indieauthor #writing #selfpublishing #heartshapedkaraokebox #artistsoninstagram #bookrecommendations #japan #jpopidol #japanesemusic #ayumihamasaki

To be clear, I did only find 3 typos on this read through. The rest of the flags are for grammar, wording and triple checking stuff 😅

✨️ BOOK COVER REVEAL ✨️
COMING IN FEBRUARY

Blurb: "Culture shock is nothing compared to this.

Eva Calabrese lives with her parents and wants out of her dead-end job, so when her former college classmate, Tobio, reconnects with her, she makes the leap across the planet to teach English in Japan.

In Osaka, Eva is confronted by the Japanese language and culture, while navigating her feelings for Tobio, but everything changes one night at karaoke when she’s kissed by the intimidatingly handsome tattoo artist, Yuya.

But when Eva learns of a devastating secret involving both Tobio and Yuya, and she flees from Osaka to the sprawl of Tokyo where a chance encounter with Japan’s rising female pop star, Miriko, changes Eva’s life forever.

Will she learn from her floundering and thrive in a foreign country or have to go back home to Canada?

This fast-paced account from debut author E. R. Hann examines the pain and power of broken hearts, celebrity life, and growing up."
