I don't know if ...... is the right word to give up.
Let me ask you about your body. How is your brain damage from the accident, and how are you doing now in terms of your memory and ability to remember things from before the accident?
. I am recovering quite well. Cuts and wounds on the body regenerate and close up. . but broken cells in the brain do not regenerate. . but it can't be put back together, but other brain functions can cover it up. By the time we die, we only use about 10 percent of our brain functions, and what the other 90 percent does is cover the other senses that we lost when something happened. For example, a person who has lost his eyesight can grasp space, and so on. I have recovered a lot myself. However, I don't remember the original.
I feel the underlying strength of the human body when I hear such stories.
Everyone has potential, and I want to bring out those positive feelings through my work. I am sure that everyone feels that we never know what will happen at any time, such as a major earthquake or a corona. I think that no matter when or what happens, we should try to live our lives with as few regrets as possible. . In order to do so, I would like to expand my good vibes, which I need to do better in my activities.
The result is painting, music, and ........
The barriers between the two are disappearing. I feel that it is largely an activity of expression. For example, taking a picture, writing a letter, or editing a book are each expressing oneself. Each of us may have our own struggles and battles in life.
A: It carries a different weight when you say that, since you have been through a serious accident and continue to express yourself today.
The accident happened long before Corona, so I may have been thinking about it before others. For the past 10 years, my theme has been "rebirth. I have been rehabilitating myself, trying to get back to the same state I was in before the accident, to get back to the way I was before, and to get back on stage at Fuji Rock. After 10 years of rehabilitation, it became clear to me what I could do and what I could not do. Then I gave up. ...... I don't know if "giving up" is the right word, but I thought that rather than going back to my old self, the right use of my energy would be to search for new things that my body and brain could do now. . I am grateful for the environment I am in now, and I genuinely want to create good works.
. It sounds like you are saying that we don't have to try to go back to the pre-Corona days.
. maybe. Strangely enough, after I started thinking that way, various functions of my body were restored. Until then, I was motivated by frustration and anger, but that has changed to gratitude. Instead of focusing on what I couldn't do, I tried to improve what I could do, and to be thankful for my current environment. For example, immediately after the accident, I was trying my best to ignore my paralyzed and immobile body. But when I apologized to my body again, my body started to recover. It is a wonder, isn't it? From that point on, I started to thank my body for various things.
It's amazing that you've reached that point.
What I found out in a life-or-death kind of pinch is that everything you do comes back to you. . Because when my accident was publicized, the people who had been around me until then disappeared, too. But the people who stayed and supported me were the people I had opened my heart to. So, in the end, it all depends on me.
