Greetings, dear listeners! I'm Lottie, your trusted voice from the cosy Chatswolds, and today, we've got an exciting journey planned. We'll be venturing into the mesmerising world of 'Dark Grimm', exploring everything from the beloved Snow White to lesser-known, darker tales. But this journey is not one I embark on alone; we have a new addition to our Cala Vox family, Keita, joining us from our dependence in the captivating city of Kyoto, Japan.
Keita's soothing voice carries the serene tranquillity that Kyoto is renowned for - the whispering beauty of the Kamo River, the reflective peace of the Kinkaku-ji, the city's Golden Pavilion. Recently, I had a chat with Keita, and though he's still getting the hang of English, he shared some interesting insights in his native language.
He told me that Grimm's fairy tales hold a special place in the hearts of Japanese readers, spanning across age groups and making frequent appearances as both bedtime stories for children and intriguing reads for adults. From Snow White and Little Red Riding Hood to Rapunzel, these stories have a deep-seated influence on the Japanese culture.
