What I Am Gazing At

When I arrived at the station, a strange heat was swirling there.Ahead of my gaze was the figure of "that person" who is attracting attention from all over Japan.

Looking around, everyone is desperately spreading their smartphone screens with their fingers.Zoom, zoom, zoom.Countless arms trying to capture the "talked-about person" on the stage as closely and clearly as possible.

However, my camera turned to the exact opposite scenery.

What I wanted to photograph was not the protagonist beyond the zoom, but the overwhelming "crowd" spreading out wide - angle...

There are fists clenched seriously worrying about the future of Japan, and there is also fan curiosity holding up smartphones saying "It's the person from TV"...

Thoughts that should be different one by one overlap like layers, becoming a huge wordless "heat" and shaking the front of the station.

"How interesting humans are..."

Rather than the words on the stage, the raw energy that cannot be named emitted by each person receiving them.At the same time I felt that the inherent fun of humans that is not logic is packed in that "mixed" body temperature... somewhere I also felt calm, thinking "Ah, this is the sense of values that politics has created so far."

Now, I wonder what will happen from now on...

The day I thought it would be interesting to see how myself enjoying from a bird's-eye view and myself being one of that crowd will change.
