Thanks for your help. CD Audiobook publisher site:
There are also still several errors that need to be taken care of:- In #2, the formatting is incorrect. The entire description is bolded instead of just the first paragraph, and a few words are missing.
- In #4, #5, and #6, the page count is still incorrect.
- In #6, the format is still incorrect.

As a content warning: this is a memoir about sexual assault. There aren’t any graphic descriptions anywhere in this thread, but if that’s something you need to avoid: heads up.

2. US Kindle: Black Box (ASIN B09B1D5XWY)
- The description is incorrect. It should read as follows:
Black Box is a riveting, sobering memoir that chronicles one woman’s struggle for justice, calling for changes to an industry—and in society at large—to ensure that future victims if sexual assault can come forward without being silenced and humiliated.
In 2015, an aspiring young journalist named Shiori Ito charged prominent reporter Noriyuki Yamaguchi with rape. After meeting up for drinks and networking, Ito remembers regaining consciousness in a hotel room while being assaulted. But when she went to the police, Ito was told that her case was a “black box”—untouchable and unprosecutable.
Upon publication in 2017, Ito’s searing account foregrounded the #MeToo movement in Japan and became the center of an urgent cultural and legal shift around recognizing sexual assault and gender-based violence. As international outlets covered every step of her story—even documenting it in the BBC film Japan’s Secret Shame—this book launched a societal reckoning. At the end of 2019, Ito won a civil case against Yamaguchi.
With careful and quiet fury, Black Box recounts a broken system of repression and violence—but it also heralds the beginning of a new solidarity movement seeking a more equitable path toward justice.

7. UK Paperback: Black Box (ISBN 9781911284598)
- The description is incorrect. It should read as follows, transcribed from the back cover:
In 2017, aspiring journalist Shiori Ito went public with the accusation that a prominent TV journalist had sexually assaulted her two years prior. After the assault, Ito was told by the police that her case was a “black box�: it had happened behind closed doors and was therefore unprosecutable.
Upon publication in 2017, Black Box was integral to the #MeToo movement in Japan, becoming a necessary catalyst for cultural and legal change. Ito’s personal story is the kernel of a searing journalistic exposé, showing how Japan’s relatively low official rates of sexual assault mask a culture of victim-shaming and institutional failure on the part of the police, law and media to bring perpetrators to justice.
