English text & Photo are below↓
ついに最終日。
今晩22時で出られる、と思うと色々名残惜しくもなって来る。
とはいえ執筆作業の締切日でもあったので、粛々と。
台風”花火”は順調に雨足を強めている。
夕方に主催者側より、予定していた車がこの台風でキャンセルになったから、明日朝移動してくれ、との事で肩透かしを喰らう。
まさかの隔離延長。
まあ仕方ない。逆に集中して今晩作業しろという事だ。
ホテルに登録した何時にどの車で出ていく、などの情報はもう伝えてあるので更新しなくても良いとの事。
粛々と、17時半に食事がとどき、トレーニングをして、食事をして。
夜、日本のカメラマンと電話で話す。
10年以上自分の写真を撮ってくれたカメラマンの生井秀樹さんがこの6月に急逝されてから、自分は今後誰に撮って貰えば良いか、という話をした。
知らない方に撮られるのがすこぶる苦手で、関係性が無いと滅法苦痛になってしまうたちなのだ。本当に何も恩返し出来ないまま亡くなってしまった生井さんを亡くして、次第に日本を繋ぐ糸が切れかかって来ている様な気持ちになる。
感傷的になる暇も無いけれど、物理的にこう隔離されていると、時間を消費されていく気分になるので、どうしても自分の残り時間と向合う様になる。

夜中まで作業。

Finally, the last day of quarantine.
Thinking that I'll be leaving at 10:00 p.m. tonight, I'm starting to feel a bit nervous.
However, it's also the deadline for my other work's text, so I'm just going to get on with it.
Typhoon "Fireworks" is increasing its rainfall.
In the evening, I'm disappointed to hear from the organizers that the car we were supposed to drive has been cancelled due to the typhoon, so we'll have to move it tomorrow morning.
The quarantine was extended..!
Well.. it can't be helped. On the contrary, I was told to concentrate on my work this evening.
I've already told the hotel what time I'll be leaving and in what car, so they don't need to update the information.
At 5:30 p.m., my meal arrived, I trained, and ate.
At night, I talked to the photographer on the phone.
Hideki Namai, the photographer who had taken my portrait and performance for more than ten years, passed away suddenly this June, and we talked about who I should ask to take my photos in the future.
I'm not very good at being photographed by strangers, and if I don't have a relationship with them, it's extremely painful for me. With the loss of Mr. Namai, who passed away without being able to give anything back, I feel as if the thread that connects Japan is gradually being cut.
I don't have time to get sentimental, but being physically isolated like this makes me feel like my time is being consumed, so I can't help but confront my remaining time.

Worked until midnight.
