Watching Cosmo Corpus, I felt an unprecedented, strange charm in a film where things that are understood and things that are not understood are mixed together, and somehow it felt comfortable. If everything were understood, it would certainly be boring, and it made me want to ask myself how close I can get to the divided minority. Living with loneliness, living with others—whether in the past, present, or future, even if eras and environments change, the root of human existence may not change much. I want to remember the happiness of being able to spend precious days with important people and being able to greet them.

"Things that exist in 2022 but might not exist 20,000 years from now" "Books, especially paper books, the body, gender, an Earth with such various things, breathing, walking home with someone, words, emotions, war, love, greetings"
A voice coming from nowhere like a spell. The sound of violent waves and a grand ocean and sandy beach. A soldier who continues to bury the dead as the last single human on Earth. A girl of the future who suddenly lands there to remember the Earth. Where do human memories go? Will the memories of the dead remain sealed in the past, spinning endlessly in a Möbius strip? Or will they become cosmic particles, existing around us, continuously communicating with the dead without us noticing?
Are the countless life forms swallowed by the ocean transcending the earthly time of past, present, and future, interposing a cosmic time-space? Or will the poison of the polluted sea destroy the surviving life forms?
From the very beginning, the intensity of the images and sounds keeps your eyes glued to the screen. Where are we going? I stare desperately at the screen in bewilderment. The world depicted by Hasegawa, named "Cosmic Lonely Community Cosmo Corpus", crystallizes visual avant-garde and realism as an image of water, nullifying the boundary between life and death. Science fiction is always a negative of reality, going back and forth between "here and now" and "somewhere, someday." While creating the world produced by these overwhelming images and sounds, Hasegawa confronts the loneliness of life forms. What supports this imagination is the existence of Sado Island. No, it could be rephrased this way: The creator who crossed over to Sado faces and rewrites the history and memories of the island seen through the camera's viewfinder. Is the cosmic lonely community not a document of that work?
Can Kaichi, who lost his father in the modern era, as his name suggests, know the sea and search for his lost father's memories? Can Kaichi's mother, Yuki, find salvation in daily life and religion? What are the creator's thoughts embedded in the new theme of religion, which was not foregrounded in past works (though we know that sci-fi and religion have a close relationship)?
What can we leave behind 20,000 years from now, and to whom? There is no answer. However, we will continue to listen to the small voice, like a prayer entrusted by Hasegawa.

Through a structure based on an aesthetic that dares not to say much, "Cosmo Corpus" deeply contemplates the roots of loneliness and its salvation.
