A short art film by Toshiyuki Kimura. Mr. Kimura is apparently an artist who has been involved in making some horror films like "The Ring(1998).' (You can learn more about him here and here but both sites are in Japanese, unfortunately)
ABOUT THE NARRATION
Most words are unintelligible but from what I can pick up it is a quote from Japanese mythology. I can hear words Izanagi and Izanami, which are Japanese god and goddess, and the word "yomi,"which is an old word for underworld.
The story of Izanagi and Izanami are similar to the story of Orpheus and Eurydice in Greek mythology. Izanagi, when his beloved wife Izanami dies, follows her to the underworld. Izanagi persuades Izanami to return to the world of living, and she agrees, but "When Izanagi looks prematurely at his wife, he beholds her monstrous and hellish state and she is shamed and enraged. She pursues him in order to kill him. She fails to do so, but promises to kill a thousand of his people every day. Izanagi retorts that a thousand and five hundred will be born every day(wikipedia)."

When trying to establish assets it is usually a wise plan to begin a savings or investing system as early in life as feasible. But don't fear if you have not started saving your capital until later on in life. As a result of hard work, that is reading up on the best investment vehicles for your assets you can slowly but surely increase your finances so that it adds up to a large sum by the period you want to retire. Inspect all of the applicable asset classes from stocks to real estate as investments for your money. A knowledgeable and diversified portfolio of investments in a wide range of asset classes will make your money get bigger throughout the years.
