Finished reading: ぼくはあと何回、満月を見るだろう by 坂本龍一 📚
A book that felt too heavy to pick up for a long time. An essay by Ryuichi Sakamoto, covering the period from his previous work in 2009 until just before his passing. Even as he became increasingly aware of death due to the progression of cancer, his unwavering passion for music and the arts was awe-inspiring. At the same time, I was painfully reminded of how cruel the relentless advance of cancer can be, no matter what one does.
気が重くずっと読めなかった本。2009年の前作以降、亡くなる直前までをまとめた坂本龍一のエッセイ。癌の進行で死を意識してなお、音楽、芸術への情熱を尽きせぬ彼の精神圧倒される一方、どうやっても癌の進行というは惨いものだと思い知らされる。
