The spoken audio in Japanese deals with distance in many forms, distance from the homeland, from the motherland, from habits, from one's own healthy and unhealthy body, from one's own language, from loved ones, from strangers, and the mental blocks and clearances involved. The rapid succession of thoughts, persons, and events with the alternating image portrays how distance can take different forms.

It is not intended that you fully understand what it is about and which persons are involved. Unless you are very well acquainted with me, you will not manage this anyway. You will be unable to catch the undertones and hidden nuances in Japanese. However, if you can empathise in a broad sense with the matters passing by, that will be more than enough. The distance that is created through speaking Japanese also plays an important role that is to be respected.
