A Message from the Jeane Books “Looking Up at the Stars of Creation”
In today’s world, where the latest information is instantly accessible, encountering new concepts and diverse ideas encourages us to re-evaluate our values and anticipate building a new era. However, amidst this information overload, we sometimes find ourselves overwhelmed and distanced from true freedom.
Culture and art, born out of historical struggles and the search for hope, provide us with education and inspiration that cannot be rushed. These experiences should gradually permeate our spirits. We believe that the imagination and curiosity nurtured through reading are crucial for constructing new values in our highly information-driven society. This belief led us to establish Gene Books.
Despite the convenience of accessing global literature online, many invaluable works remain unavailable in Japanese. Gene Books seeks to unearth these gems, focusing on non-fiction related to rock, pop, and jazz music, and introduce them to Japanese readers in excellent translations.
Standing still and gazing up at the night sky, we see countless stars. Like human creativity, they shine differently for each observer, even if not universally bright. Gene Books aims to stimulate the modern quest for understanding evolution and progress, offering guiding stars of wonder and joy.
