Duet with Saburo Teshigawara and Rihoko Sato.
No matter how much you dream of death
You sense the fear of surviving forever
The element that is or isn't there
You lose yourself, with no time to even mourn about it
With a certain innocent meaninglessness
And a profound yet light, endless emotion
Dance appears from qualitative movement
You do not exist here anymore
You may not know it yet
But you keep on dancing even though you do not exist
Nobody can touch you
Not even yourself
The fragility of beauty
The strange yet fearful fragile dream is like death
No matter how much you dream of death
You sense the fear of surviving forever
To the world on the opposite bank, is it of joy, or sorrow?
