理想の幻日 Ideal Illusion Days
The songs of insects have become more colorful day by day.
Autumn has finally come.
I heard that there is a hot spring in my neighborhood, so I dropped in.
When I looked at the sky in the open-air bath, I noticed a dragonfly was flying around above my head. I watched him, and found that he sometimes flew at a low altitude and touched the surface of the water.
I wondered if he likes hot springs too.
On the 15th, I went to the Athene Fraicais Cultural Center, and saw two movies, "Along the Coast" " Risou no Genjitsu :Ideal Illusion Days ".
Even if you put youself in the place of other people, you always see your own scenery.
I didn't have any background information about the documentary, but as I had been watching the objective facts which were piled into the films, the mental images of the directors communicated itself closely to me, and it made an impression on me.
In particular, "Risou no Genjitsu : Ideal Illusion Days", which was directed by Maya Arai, was a movie which Maya stringed together scenes of the moments that were memorable for her in the 3 years she spent filming "Chintai Jinkaku" with her camera.
I enjoyed the words, pictures, and sounds of each scene when I saw the movie, but after seeing it, its lingering sound sound came back as a poem which felt something like a elegy, and repeated again and again.
Something inside me was moved by the energy which flowed behind the film.

A typhoon
After having lunch, when I was reading a mystery book on the sofa, I saw an insect who strayed into my room yesterday, sitting on the lace curtain and looking at me.
Oh, it's the one who was flitting around my room in a panic yesterday night !
I remembered that I had let him stay one night because I felt bad turning him out into a typhoon.
I had comepletely forgotten about him.
I wondered if he would fly away when I reached out my hand for him, but he didn't, so I caught him gently and put him out on the veranda.
Perhaps he gave me a sign willing me to let him out.
I did a duo concert with a drummer, Tetsu, at Penguin House yesterday.
I didn't expect a big audience because of the typhoon, but more people came than the usual (thanks!!)
In the duo, the two of us make sound spaces as if we were composing.
I enjoyed playing so much that I almost forgot time passing by.
When I went back to my house, my big umbrella was broken by a gust of wind,
and I got soaked through as if I had taken a shower.
It was the second time this year a typhoon came on the day of my concert!
I hope the weather will let me off the hook, but more people came than usual...
I'm wondering if I should welcome typhoons or not.....
