Thanks for reminding, I will update the post later. By the way, the storytelling of Haruki Murakami influenced my a lot, I should have mentioned it when the title first occured to me.

You can of course do what you want in your own writing but the GP's suggestion that you need to 'credit' or explain every allusion is not good writing advice - it would mean not having allusions at all.

I enjoyed the article and learned some things reading it. Re-reading my comment, it could have been worded better so I'm sorry about that. As I mentioned in another comment here, I'm not a writer, just an admirer of Murakami's, so if this suggestion contradicts what is common or best practice for authors I hope you'll ignore it.

  Things like that are for readers to enjoy when they notice them, as you did, and it's fun to share the noticing with other people. You can just write something along the lines of 'Enjoyed the piece, was your title a reference to X? X was inspired by Y!'. That way don't accidentally come across as a messageboard nitpicker but as the erudite reader that you are.
