Status Updates From Le crépuscule de Shigezo

Don't you think that ideally a man should die the minute he retires? I just can't see myself singing and dancing at a centre for senior citizens. All of a sudden I'm reminded of when I returned from the war…I no longer had to worry about dying. I was glad to be alive. …Why do people live so much longer these days? It's frightening to think of a world where no one dies and everyone keeps growing older and older.
