A record sent to the world from a hospital room.
A Bob Dylan film by Martin Scorsese,
Cate Blanchett’s haunting performance,
and the song “Any Day Now” echoing through pain.
A testimony where music and human limits intersect.

The following was sent to the world from a hospital room on 2011-11-30.
Some years earlier, at the movie theater mentioned in the previous chapter, I watched alone the Bob Dylan film “No Direction Home,” directed by Martin Scorsese.
Seeing a certain photograph of Bob Dylan that appears in the YouTube clip of the previous chapter, it was impossible not to recall the haunting performance of Cate Blanchett, whom I have written several times to be the greatest actress of our time.
The following was sent to the world from a hospital room on 2011-11-30.
On the other channel of WOWOW, a studio live performance by Paul Weller was being broadcast, and while listening to it as background music, although my physical condition was at its hardest point, I returned pets to Ameba readers.
The music flowing through my mind was a song by Bob Dylan.
♪I see my light come shining from the west and to the east
Any day now, any day now I shall be released♪
