Last week, alongside their
Archewell Foundation,
Meghan and Harry unveiled a poignant memorial in
New York City
. The installation, which has been named The Lost Screen Memorial, honored children who have died due to the dangers of social media. Speaking with
BBC
Breakfast in New York, Harry, 40, said, "We want to make sure that things are changed so that... no more kids are lost to social media."
Saying that "life is better off social media," the father-of-two went on to add he was "grateful" that his and Meghan's children are currently still too young to use the internet. He continued, "The easiest thing to say is to keep your kids away from social media. The sad reality is the kids who aren't on social media normally get bullied at school because they can't be part of the same conversation as everybody else."

Lisa's male lead Kentaro Sakaguchi shines in roles from romance to action

The story may not be particularly novel, focusing on a five-year-long, lingering romance. Yet the chemistry between the leads, combined with beautiful locations and a concise six-episode run, earned What Comes After Love widespread appreciation. Kentaro portrays a man with a complex inner life, harbouring emotions he cannot share with anyone. With a decade of acting experience behind him, he conveys both the tenderness of love and the quiet struggles of a man who has weathered life's highs and lows. 'Beyond Goodbye': A tragic story set in stunning Hawaiian and Japanese countryside Beyond Goodbye , a Netflix drama, tells a heartrending story of two couples whose lives intertwine after a traffic accident caused by an avalanche. Despite its sorrowful premise and intricate twists, the series has been praised for its gentle, measured pacing that avoids melodrama. The cast delivers consistent and nuanced performances, framed by the scenic beauty of Hawaii and rural Japan. Above Beyond Goodbye | Official Trailer | Netflix Kentaro plays Kazuma, a man with a heart condition who receives a transplant from Yusuke (Toma Ikuta), the lover of Saeko (played by Kasumi Arimura), who died in the accident. He convincingly expresses a spectrum of emotions, from despair and relief to bewilderment, as he grapples with the lingering feelings and memories of another person. 'Signal': Standout performance alongside two seniors in Korean detective remake In 2018, Kentaro Sakaguchi appeared in Signal , a television and film remake of the acclaimed Korean series. He starred alongside veteran Japanese actors Kazuki Kitamura and Michiko Kichise. The original television series had already achieved significant success when broadcast on Fuji TV. Above Signal Japanese Version Official Trailer The work closely follows the original Korean version, in which a young lieutenant, during an investigation, discovers a walkie-talkie that allows him to contact an investigator 15 years in the future. While the series received mixed reviews due to comparisons with the original, Kentaro's performance was widely praised for capturing the character's bravery and integrity. The project also marked a milestone in Kentaro's career, proving he can embrace a variety of roles beyond the psychological-romantic genre. 'Only Just Married': A lovely romantic comedy about the theme of 'marry first, love later' For fans of romantic comedies, Only Just Married is a must-watch. Adapted from the manga by Aoharu Yuki, it follows Shu (Kentaro) and Akiha (Nana Seino), two young people who, for various reasons, decide to marry. Over time, they come to understand each other and slowly develop genuine feelings. Though the storyline is fairly predictable, the chemistry between Kentaro and Nana gives the film its charm. Only Just Married maintained stable ratings, consistently reaching 9 to 10 per cent on TBS, a notable achievement for a romantic comedy series. 'Hell Dogs': Yakuza role brings Best Supporting Actor nomination at 'Japanese Oscars' In 2022, Kentaro appeared in Hell Dogs , adapted from Akio Fukamachi's novel. He stepped out of his comfort zone to play Hideki, a member of a yakuza gang and the son of a death-row inmate, navigating a complex psychological landscape. Sharing the screen with veteran actor Junichi Okada, who played Shogo, a police officer seeking revenge, Kentaro held his own in every scene. Following his acclaimed work in Signal, Kentaro Sakaguchi further showcased his versatility in Hell Dogs . His nuanced performance earned him a nomination for Best Supporting Actor at the Japanese Academy Awards, often referred to as Japan's 'Oscars.' See also: Behind the spotlight: 'Sound designer' – the architects of hearing in the world of cinema Thanks to Hell Dogs , Kentaro gained wider recognition for his talent, proving he combines striking presence with a serious commitment to acting. He is set to return to the big screen in The Sunflower on the Shogi Board, a film adaptation of the 2019 TV series. The project has already drawn attention from Japanese audiences for featuring Ken Watanabe, the celebrated actor known for his work in both Japan and Hollywood.

Thea Farhadian's 'Tattoos and Other Markings'

Farhadian's evocation of a cultural past using a mechanical, abstracted soundscape, first distances the listener who finds the sound at hand alien, before they realize that they have actually been drawn into the past the same way that a patient might under guided hypnosis. Farhadian approaches trauma through sounds that appear to be similar to the scratching of needles on old-style vinyl records. The introduction of the voice of Komitas Vartabed send chills down one's spine. The choice of Komitas, the father of Armenian liturgical and folk music who was released from captivity after being deported thanks to the intervention of the American ambassador to the Ottoman Empire Henry Morgenthau Sr., is doubly relevant today given the ongoing genocidal onslaught on the Palestinian people in Gaza. Farhadian's first solo album, 'Tectonic Shifts' (Creative Sources CS 365), featured solo violin and real-time processing that introduced listeners to an echo chamber of experimental sound. Reviewer Massimo Ricci has written: 'What separates her from the typical…tedium- transmitting specimens, is the ability to render the most absurd-sounding complications with sensible unambiguity.' Farhadian has performed in some of the world's premiere music venues, including Issue Project Room, the Downtown Music Gallery, and Alternative Museum—all in New York City—as well as the Aram Khachaturian Museum in Yerevan, Armenia. An artistic polymath, she has also curated experimental video and co-founded the New York and San Francisco Armenian Film Festivals. The composer explains that she grew up listening to Armenian music at home—both folk and sacred—which eventually led her to study Arabic music with the renowned Palestinian oud and violin master Simon Shaheen: 'I fell in love with the Arabic maqamat and began to feel more freedom using these modes to compose and play music.' Until recently it was rare to find an American-born artist who had mastered both the European and Arabic classical traditions, as well as a third tradition that is quite different, as Armenian music is based on a modal system of tetrachords that can repeat indefinitely. In an Other Minds podcast hosted by composer Joseph Bohigian, Farhadian described the process of making this four-track album more like painting than creating music, as details of her past slowly revealed themselves to her like colors on a canvas. The 44-minute long album starts off with Mokats Mirza, a piece that integrates a broader mechanistic soundscape with the voice of Komitas, which weaves in and out of the background sounds. The repetition of the sounds and sequences mimic the repetition steps across the seemingly endless Syrian desert with scant food or water. Strange unidentifiable voices appear in the background. The 18 minute-long Eulogy possesses similar elements but is presented in a more dirge-like manner. At times it resembles a slow-motion recording which offers the listener the opportunity to grieve silently as the music engulfs their senses. The third track, Inscriptions is comprised of industrial sounds that have been processed and shaped out into a soundscape that resides between silence and emptiness. These include scratchings, and sounds that recall a recording machine whose tape is run backwards, an MRI Machine, and a printing press. Here multiple technologies—both advanced and primitive—share a common function of inscribing: letters, tattoos, the inside of one's body. Finally, Farhadian's fourth and final track Gar oo Chgar, (There once was and there was not), bears the title of the traditional opening for Armenian fairytales and fables. Here, the repeated sounds perhaps stand in for needles tattooing the skin or conversely erasing them. The interstices may mirror the emptiness that the marked women experienced first during their long ordeals of captivity and later when liberated and reintegrated into Armenian communities. Farhadian also included the sound of sand falling on the floor of the Aram Khachaturian Hall; a child reciting a poem in Armenian; a recording of the double reed instrument, the duduk. To get a fuller picture of the traumatic experience of deportation, I would pair this remarkable CD. with Elyse Semerdjian's previously mentioned book. I would also add the work of fine artist Linda Ganjian whose recent exhibition 'Her Mind: a Metropolis' at Hudson, New York's Front Row Gallery mixed traditional Armenian motifs and crafts with designs reminiscent of Art Deco to approach her maternal grandmother's experience of survival. As Farhadian reminds people when discussing the personal odyssey which led to her completing 'Tattoos and Other Markings,' discovering this little-known information was chilling, and led her to questions about which cultural narratives are remembered and which are forgotten. In fact, Armenian immigrants to the United States at the turn of the 20th century were made to prove their whiteness, in order to be naturalized American, so the notion of tattooing and marking is doubly pregnant with meaning here. Farhadian's music suggests new avenues for how we hear and represent the past, by leaving the listening experience open- ended rather didactic ways of listening and interpreting. As Liverpool University's James and Constance Alsop Chair of Music Emerita Anahid Kassabian notes: 'This piece invites listeners to make their own connections among the sounds, welcoming all engagements with it. Aesthetically the layers and materials are intriguing, but making the links among them is the listener's option.' The markings left on these women of 1915 by tattoos may be both psychic and mental. And much like the musical notations that mark a page, they offer new pathways to understanding and even perhaps healing the past.

Need a break from the noise? These 9 films are made for introverts seeking solitude and peace

'Paterson' (2016) A gentle masterpiece, Paterson follows one week in the life of a bus driver and poet named Paterson (Adam Driver) in New Jersey. He observes passengers, writes poetry in his notebook and shares tender moments with his spontaneous wife Laura (Golshifteh Farahani). Director Jim Jarmusch creates a startlingly undramatic work that finds profound meaning in routine and small details, celebrating the quiet act of creation as a beautiful antidote to our chaotic world. 'Tokyo Story' (1953) An ageing couple (Chishu Ryu and Chieko Higashiyama) travel from their small town to bustling Tokyo to visit their grown children, who are too busy to pay them attention. Only their widowed daughter-in-law, Noriko (Setsuko Hara), shows genuine kindness. Director Yasujiro Ozu's masterpiece uses static cameras and 'pillow shots'—brief, still images of everyday details—to create space for quiet reflection, letting emotion emerge from what remains unsaid. Don't miss: Celebrating Meryl Streep: 9 roles that built a legacy on the silver screen 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' (2004) After a painful breakup, Joel Barish (Jim Carrey), a bookish introvert, discovers his ex-girlfriend Clementine (Kate Winslet) has erased her memories of him. As he undergoes the same procedure, he relives their relationship in reverse within his crumbling mind. This surrealist romance argues that painful memories are essential to who we are, rejecting easy solutions while exploring the circular nature of destined connections. 'Her' (2013) In near-future Los Angeles, Theodore Twombly (Joaquin Phoenix), a lonely, introverted man, develops a complex relationship with Samantha (voiced by Scarlett Johansson), an advanced AI operating system. In Her , director Spike Jonze creates a warm, inviting world that feels deeply human despite its futuristic setting. This quiet, introspective exploration of loneliness and connection is grounded by Phoenix's beautifully understated performance, examining love and consciousness in our increasingly alienated world. 'Paris, Texas' (1984) A silent, amnesiac man named Travis (Harry Dean Stanton) wanders from the desert after a four-year absence, reconnecting with his brother and young son before embarking on a road trip to find his estranged wife Jane (Nastassja Kinski). A visual poem about despair, Paris, Texas uses the vast, sun-bleached American landscape as a metaphor for Travis's internal emptiness. Ry Cooder's haunting slide-guitar score enhances the yearning within these quiet, expansive spaces. 'Arrival' (2016) When mysterious alien spacecraft appear around the world, expert linguist Dr Louise Banks (Amy Adams) is tasked with uncovering their purpose. Working alongside physicist Ian Donnelly (Jeremy Renner), Louise races against global tensions and mistrust to communicate with the extraterrestrial visitors. What unfolds is a profoundly human story about language, memory and the nature of time. Based on Ted Chiang's novella, director Denis Villeneuve's version is a quietly powerful narrative that favours introspection over spectacle, transforming first contact into a meditation on love, loss and the choices that define our lives. With its muted tones and haunting score, Arrival offers a cerebral, emotionally resonant alternative to conventional science fiction blockbusters. 'Drive My Car' (2021) Two years after his wife's sudden death, stage director Yusuke Kafuku (Hidetoshi Nishijima) accepts a residency in Hiroshima, forming a profound bond with his quiet chauffeur Misaki Watari (Toko Miura) as they navigate shared histories of loss. Drive My Car is a three-hour Oscar-winning epic adapted from a short story by Haruki Murakami. The film rewards patient viewers with powerful emotional payoff through its deliberate, novelistic pacing. The film asks us to slow down and experience stark, quiet reality—a necessary palette cleanser for our fast-paced world. 'Blade Runner 2049' (2017) Released 35 years after the classic 1982 film, the sequel is set in 2049 Los Angeles, where blade runner K (Ryan Gosling) unearths a secret that could plunge society into chaos, leading him to find the missing Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford). Despite its epic scale, director Denis Villeneuve's sequel maintains deliberately slow, meditative pacing that immerses viewers in its stunning yet desolate world. This intimate story explores profound philosophical questions about humanity, creating a contemplative experience enhanced by practical sets over CGI.
