**Hello fellow otakus!** Time to swap the big screen for the microphone! 🎤 Otaku’s Guild is planning a **2‑hour karaoke session** at **Kokekokko**, a Japanese‑style karaoke bar with private rooms right in the heart of Paris. This will be a relaxed, fun evening where we can sing anime songs, J‑pop, game openings, or whatever else strikes the mood—no pressure, just good vibes in a private space. After the karaoke, those who feel like it can continue the evening with dinner at a nearby Japanese restaurant. **Event details:** * **What:** Private‑room karaoke session (+ optional dinner afterward) * **Where:** Kokekokko Karaoke Bar, Rue Sainte‑Anne * **When:** Monday, **April 6th** at **18:30** * **Duration:** \~2 hours of karaoke * **Cost:** 10 € per participant, to be paid to Mauno on site (cash or PayPal) **How it works:** We’ll meet directly at the venue a little before our reservation starts. Kokekokko offers drinks and snacks if you feel like it—but maybe don’t go too hard on those, so you can still fully enjoy the dinner afterward. 😉 The dinner is, of course, optional and will be decided based on interest. Whether you’re itching to belt out your favorite anime opening or want to ease in by cheering others on, this is the place to be! This event is all about singing together, laughing together, and creating a great group atmosphere — no judgment, no pressure, just shared geeking and collective fun. If this sounds like your kind of evening, don’t hesitate to sign up and join the chorus! **PS:** Also, if this sounds fun but you can’t make it this time, feel free to leave a comment. If there’s enough interest, we can definitely plan more karaoke sessions like this in the future! 🎤✨

Let's get together with a drink and discuss this book. *Nausea* is the story of Antoine Roquentin, a French writer who is horrified at his own existence. In impressionistic, diary form he ruthlessly catalogues his every feeling and sensation about the world and people around him. His thoughts culminate in a pervasive, overpowering feeling of nausea which "spread at the bottom of the viscous puddle, at the bottom of *our* time, the time of purple suspenders and broken chair seats; it is made of wide, soft instants, spreading at the edge, like an oil stain." Roquentin's efforts to try and come to terms with his life, his philosophical and psychological struggles, give Sartre the opportunity to dramatize the tenets of his Existentialist creed. The introduction for this edition of *Nausea* by Hayden Carruth gives background on Sartre's life and major works, a summary of the principal themes of Existentialist philosophy, and a critical analysis of the novel itself.

**Our April novel is: *The Hong Kong Widow* by Kristen Loesch** **This month’s novel blends gothic atmosphere with historical fiction and chilling horror, set against the haunting backdrop of China. The book is 368 pages in print and 10 hours and 42 minutes on audiobook.** In 1950s Hong Kong, Mei is a young refugee of the Chinese Communist revolution struggling to put her past in Shanghai behind her. When she receives a shocking invitation—to take part in a competition in one of the city's most notorious haunted houses, pitting six spirit mediums against one another in a series of six séances over six nights, until a single winner emerges—she has every reason to refuse. Except that the hostess, a former Shanghainese silent film star, is none other than the wife of the man who once destroyed Mei’s entire life. It is promised the winner will receive a fortune, but there is only one prize Mei wants: revenge. Decades later, the final night of that competition has become an infamous urban legend: The police were called to the scene of a brutal massacre but found no evidence, dismissing it as a collective hallucination. Mei knows what she saw, but now someone else is convinced they know what she did. She must uncover the truth about the last night she ever spent in that house—even if the ghosts of her past are waiting for her there. . . .
