Japan/53min./2011
Terauchi Takeshi is a seventy-two-year genius electric guitarist. He visited Miyako, an affected area, to fulfill a promise to high school students. He drove all the way from Yokohama to Miyako, Iwate Prefecture all night. Through his soulful guitar performance with wounds all over his body, he changed the aspect of the high school students little by little. Terauchi's heart and soul guitar playing and a message with the miraculous power of language give us encouragement and energy to live.
