Haruki Murakami is a novelist who also competes in triathlons and marathons. How has his running affected him and his literary work? Furthermore, has he read any books about running that offer interesting viewpoints? In addition, how does he train? For this report, I considered works that feature in printed media, such as interviews, essays and other texts. Since many novelists do not participate in sports, Murakami was regarded as a heretic and received continuous criticism. He fought for people who were criticized all the time. It may be said that he is an atypical runner, and is therefore isolated. Also, it can be seen from the Murakami works that literary language and rhythm are important attributes. As well as music, running must affect the form of writing immensely. Additionally, there is the theoretical question about his training, but it may be said that his original training has helped him form a writing style.

The Tokyo marathon has become the first full-scale urban marathon in Japan. People who previously took no interest in running have begun to show interest in the Tokyo marathon. Thus a second running boom is now taking place. This is different from that of the late 1970s because the media covers marathons on a large scale. I would like to consider how Japanese running culture has been built up by the media and how the culture has penetrated Japanese society. The results are as follows. Newspapers covered ordinary participants and citizen runners in the Tokyo marathon and spotlighted them. Family ties was seen in the newspaper articles, and such words as Thanks, thank you and supporting appeared frequently. These words may be closely connected with the fact that marathons are extreme and that no one can run without the support of other people. They may also be connected with Japanese gregariousness and bonding.
