Song

by Shuntarō Tanikawa 

Someone is singing of me in a tune of clouds in a harmony of trees someday the rhyming rhythm of my heart will cease but the song will go on celebrating you The melody of water will flow along the river bottom The pause of night will echo in the ruins

−谷川さんにとって平和とは何ですか。 　 例えば、ユートピア思想がありますよね。人間が全員、幸せになるのが理想という考え方です。だけど、そこには生きがいがなくなっているんじゃないかと思うんです。人間は、どこかにドラマがないと生きがいを感じません。それで「戦争が生きがい」みたいな人も出てくるんです。　ドラマが何もない平和というものは、人間にとって耐え難いだろうなと思います。みんなが仲良く、平等に暮らす。そういう平和の中に、どういうドラマを見いだすか。そこが問題になってくるような気がしますね。 ＜考える広場＞戦後77年　戦争と平和　2022：東京新聞 TOKYO Web https://www.tokyo-np.co.jp/amp/article/196155

"Because I cannot disappear after being forgotten

I am a rhythm in a refrain

I am a subtle wave and a particle 

having arrived, if I may be so conceited,

riding on your heart’s beating rhythm

from the light years of distance."

-Shuntaro Tanikawa

[armandoandrea2]

Non appena si chiudono gli occhi, scompare il mondo,

solo il peso della tenerezza mi assicura l’infinito.

Il silenzio si tramuta in una notte calma

ci avvolge come una promessa,

e non c’è niente di strano,

se non la dolce lontananza che ci circonda

e che per caso ci lascia soli.

Cerchiamo assieme

un modo più sicuro che guardare o parlare

e lo scopriamo

quando perdiamo noi stessi.

Mi domando che cosa tenti di rassicurare

la tenerezza che torna da un lungo viaggio.

Parole perdute in un silenzio espiato,

ora respiri appena.

In realtà, già eri la stessa mia vita…

E tuttavia anche queste parole sono punibili

in questo momento in cui la tenerezza riempie il mondo

e io mi prostro per poter vivere in esso.

No matter how small a thing is it cannot be fully elaborated Silence contains just words

The edges of clouds shine in gold Music seduces me

BGM: The Rolling Stones - Start Me Up

Today might be a "fatal day" in my life... Indeed, I'm using too big expression to describe this. But I don't want to hide this feeling inside myself. The day like today can happen in my/our life... It was raining a little so I went to the food court in AEON near my workplace by foot. There, I spent my time with doing nothing as usual. I couldn't do anything as the homework of my English conversation class, the paper I will show at the meeting about my contract of my job, the paper for the presentation I will do on the next Thursday... Suddenly I remembered the book "Two Billion Light Years of Solitude" by Shuntaro Tanikawa, and thought of writing my poem as the homework to show the teachers. At least, it will delete one of my task and also make my passion/activity calm again. I started writing my poem. I wanted to use rhymes seriously, and obey the rule of sonnet (the poems which have 14 lines). Caring the rhythm of that poem... I did write it like Jackson Pollock's action painting. Spreading my words honestly on a sheet of paper.

Ah, at last! The Muse came to me with her graceful smiling. The day came finally... "One day, a person starts writing all of a sudden" or "One day, he/she starts thinking writing to be a writer". For example, Haruki Murakami started writing his novel because he got an inspiration suddenly from somewhere when he had enjoyed watching a baseball game in his 29. That was the beginning of walking/traveling on the road to become a writer until now... Of course, this is a "too cool" story/episode. At least, it must be impossible to imagine that he had not done anything until the day he accepted the inspiration. He must do reading. Yes, he must enjoy Raymond Chandler, Scott Fitzgerald, Richard Brautigan, and Kurt Vonnegut... he must try to learn from them to make their spirits/groove as his. "Now" I can have this idea, but when I read that legend of Haruki Murakami, I was just an idiot so thought "Someday the inspiration can come to me like him, and that will make me write my own novel". Yes, I waited for the inspiration for a long time. I waited for the day I would/could start writing my own "Hear The Wind Sing". Someday... and I drank a lot. And days passed.

Today I shared the poem "A Bridge From A Fridge" to my friends. Soon, Victoria from Russia commented to me. "Share it with your signature!". It was really grateful for me so I wrote my signature "throbbing disco cat", and posted it on Facebook, Discord, MeWe. Indeed, it didn't become any "buzzed" one. But so what? I found that using/enjoying rhymes can be really difficult/profound. It also gives me a certain pleasure. It is interesting so I want to keep on writing my sonnets, free verse poems, and proses more. Then I want to be maniac because, as you know, I'm really autistic. I want to read Shuntaro Tanikawa more, and also learn from my favorite poets/novelists who influenced me again. Haruki Murakami, Genichiro Takahashi, Hiroshi Osada, and Ryuichi Tamura. I also want to learn a lot from female poets/novelists. My dreams/hopes increase on and on... Today was really the "genesis" day for me.

And also I remembered what had brought me to now/here. I had even learned English literature, but at that time I couldn't have imagined that I would write MY OWN sonnet like this. After that period, through the heavy drinker era, I started writing short articles by the event I experienced. A friend praised my English, and it brought/made me to decide to write in English... and I started this English journal too. And now, I start writing my sonnet. "Heaven helps those who help themselves", we say so. Can I say that I have helped me? Every day I have been trying living this life with writing a journal, reading books, meeting people, working... these events, the footsteps of my past life, would bring today's explosion of writing a sonnet. Of course, it might be just a lucky strike. But I don't want to deny the pleasure I have got by writing my first poem. Even though I stop my poem creation, today's memory/experience would last in myself. It was a really memorable/grate day for me (and I could meet my old friend again on Facebook. I want to write this not to forget completely). What would be the next poem's theme? God only knows...

"A Bridge From A Fridge"

It seems my mind is like a fridge At last, I've found a dream of becoming a bridge A bridge, where people can encounter each other They might call them as a sister or a brother

Yes, that must be too enormous to carry I can see, and TBH I feel really scary But why? It must bring me the life like a party All I need is just a certain will to start it

Today, lunchtime, I wanna have a lunchbox of sushi Will I be able to say as a rockstar, "Can't you see"? Or I'm just trying sewing seeds into the sea?

This is the first sonnet poem I've done in my life. I wrote this one by myself. I'm now actually alive! Yes, this one is also coming from my mind's archive

SHUJI TERAYAMA-10 Experimental Japanese Movies

SOURCE: SHUJI TERAYAMA - 10 Avant-Garde Japanese Movies — GATA (gatamagazine.com)

Here, we recommended you, 10 of the best Terayama’s surreal and eerie films that are a must-watch for any fan of groundbreaking cinema.

An imaginary world filled with dreams of erotic fantasy and escape.

1.THE CAGE (1962)

Finished shooting in 1962, the movie’s cast was almost the same as its crew. With a bunch of experimental symbols such as skinny human body, clock and goat flow from one scene to another, the film explores the question of whether a man is a prisoner of time.

2. EMPEROR TOMATE KETCHUP (1971)

A young boy is the emperor of a country in which children have overthrown the adults.

5. BUTTERFLY DRESS PLEDGE (1974)

9259-10-7 https://youtu.be/c4cSbZC0UPk

8. MARUDORO NO UTA (1977)

A “reading film” of delirious image and text, Les chants de Maldoror takes its title and inspiration from Comte de Lautréamont’s 1869 proto-Surrealist poetic novel which, for instance, describes beauty as the chance encounter of a sewing machine and an umbrella on an operating table. In the novel’s six cantos, a young misanthrope indulges in depraved and destructive acts.

929-10-8 https://youtu.be/SLTj6ZsJN9Y

9. PRIVATE COLECCTIONS (1979)

A film composed of three stories. In the first one, a castaway arrives on a paradise island and finds a half-naked, playful and complacent woman. In the second, a teenager tries to remember the lyrics of a lullaby, which leads to sexual and oedipal fantasies. In the third, a rich man in 19th century Paris hires a prostitute for one night.

929-10-9

10. VIDEO LETTER (1982)

Video Letter is a strange and unsettling film that records a correspondence by videotape between Shuji Terayama and his acquaintance, the famous modern poet, Shuntaro Tanikawa.
