The Japan Times, one of Japan's leading English-language dailies, recently published a glowing review of The Red Star of Cadiz by ŌSAKA Gō .
Entitled "Riveting guitar saga tugs at the heartstrings," the review praises the novel, commenting

"The plot is solid and the characters — including several stereotypically nasty villains — are convincingly portrayed. Accompanied by translator Usha Jayaraman, Osaka proves himself a virtuoso of the musical mystery, masterfully tweaking his readers' heartstrings. The narrative, especially the dialogue, is lively, tinged with ironic humor and flows along naturally, making "Red Star" a pleasure to read from cover to cover and earning this reviewer's five-star approval rating. Bravo!"
