Recent walking

I am seeing the play and the movie as usual. Recently, the photograph walk has also been added to a hobby. Therefore, the diary is feeling of being with a photograph.



1)Omotesando
It walked until the evening. It was very sultry, and sweated. Still, here was crowded, and completely recognized as a sightseeing spot. It walked from Nezu Institute of Fine Arts that opened soon to the vicinity according to the Meiji St. I dared also to take the photograph of PRADA BOUTIQUE AOYAMA on the net as usual started seeing good.



2）Sangen-Jaya
It went by the theater to see the dance live by Yukio Suzuk of Choreographer. Afterwards, downtown was taken.



3）Korakuen Amusement Park
I was coming by work to the neighborhood by chance on that day. Suddenly, the scream of people who ride on a roller coaster out of darkness could be heard, and interest came out to the amusement park of night. Since I did not have a tripod then, there was no photograph which can use many blurring not much.

Urban Decay

The poster of the election is pasted to the parking lot. There is graffiti in the wall since before, and two invents a beautiful contrast. Leaving, when you see, it is the simply scenery, but it gets near with there is unexpected contrast.



This is the place where just a little it enters to the inner part from business quarters. I feel a dreary, somewhere dangerous sign in daytime. It is done a graffiti as there is not it more than this. At night probably will be being weird, I cannot come near. However when encountering to daytime, to some art work it was the feeling which confronts each other. Or it seems like the installation art.

cyber- city Akihabara

Weekend, I strolled in Akihabara with the camera. In this district, there are a lot of very interesting scenes. Akihabara is a major shopping area for electronic, computer, anime, and otaku goods, including new and used items.



When I went to Akihabara from the Suehirochō Station, much Skyscraper could be seen, and I was surprised for it to be tinged with the aspect of the cyber- city completely. In the back alley boys who shouldered the rucksack are a lot, and girl of the housemaid appearance to distribute the flyer. Their expressions had the sense of urgency somewhere.



Many old small factories in town remained in the back street. If it turns, a skyscraper appears. Such contrast is the scenery which is often in Tokyo.

NYC Travel Diary

This travel had very many troubles. It made a mistake in the train which returns from the Yale University to NYC, and has gone to the back more. Since the airplane of return left NYC by delay for 4 hours, a schedule arrives in different Minneapolis and it moves to Detroit further, and it is one night to the hotel near the airport. In Narita Airport, it was Lost baggage.



Tiredness increases if it is recalled. However, there were also many good things.
We were able to meet the friend at the NYC first day. Very happy for be able to hear his interesting story, and ate delicious Italian food time was able to be spent. NY is according to afterwards, there is no "Come off" in meal, and the reputation.



Although the skyscraper in Manhattan was a town more overcrowded than imagination, and exciting, it was full of the warmth of nostalgia or a man.The subway and the bus used easily, and a very lucid city. A town complicated by a multi race was very natural, and it all looked energetic bright.

Shochiku nouvelle vague

Shochiku nouvelle vague



Each work group of Shochiku nouvelle vague is wonderful. I am charmed very much by the surrounding work in the 70s. All of the work of Masahiro Shinoda, Nagisa Oshima, Yoshishige Yoshida, and them are filled to a feeling of tension, and yet, it has good "lightness" of tempo, and its parenthesis is very good. Although I was late, the charm of the 70s clings.

The drawn daily life rises very absurdly. The characters show the back that everybody is lonely. Oneself who feels "coolness" for this direction contacts with them in a very frivolous manner. It is "the times nature", and it is the invisible "smartness" of the figure even if it runs after it. Or the reason is because it learns "admiration" including the vexation that it can accept only after it faces it.



Especially, there are a lot of works of "70 neo-'s" style like following in recent years in this age even without giving examples. " "Like spiral advances in the age. Times keep advancing “to spiral condition”. In order to remember such a someone's word, even yearning you hold into the times when by your are born, this is the achievement of the Japanese movie.



The movie, that “fresh” feeling of that times will always be conveyed, is desperate. Therefore “now” there is meaning in seeing the present-day Japanese movie which is created. In addition, that way in comprehending the Japanese movie of the former times when it is made, as those which embody that times, there is important meaning.

New York city travel

We enjoyed the New York city. At the golden week May 2009. They are only five days. However, it was very substantial days. Manhattan was more interesting than imagination. NYC is very excited. I took a lot of trip photographs. With an interesting shot, I made an FLASH movie in that. You can look from the following site. Please check it. It links also from the upper picture.

Furthermore, I added a movie.↓↓↓

Kabuki (歌舞伎)

I went to Ginza to see a Kabuki play the other day. Many people had overflowed on the outside before it started. Kabuki serves as long performance of about 5 hours. People snatch a hasty meal at the break time of 30 minutes. There are various stalls in the pavilion from the curry and rice to a high-level box lunch. For some reason, there even is a boutique. The person who was speaking happily with the clerk was seen though the person who bought clothes here did not see. The stage setting of kabuki is very interesting. It is not the luxurious making, but there are the many devices, make enjoy us!

Tokyo Sonata

Genre:Foreign, Drama
Director:Kiyoshi Kurosawa
Cast:Teruyuki Kagawa, Kyoko Koizumi, Yu Koyanagi, Kai Inowaki, Haruka Igawa

A difficult system in recent years “Fluidity of the employment” and “Unequal society-格差社会”. People will be exhausted by adapting oneself to them now. As a result,It is a domestic happy circle that people become the place which carries out a thinking stop at such time.Even by a administration division chief with professional mediation of human relations, It becomes indifferent to the human relations of his own home.

It has surfaced in recent years as various problems for which the society side which was nestling up that he should be adapted also began the breakdown.However, a world is not still made into how to look at it.And the will wished that he does not want to be concerned is making the thinking stop live long.

"Place of family togetherness" is "Place that doesn't change", and to actually feel the happiness that it invents, all families should experience "Consciousness change". In the last scene, although the son flipped Debussy skillfully, there was a figure of the family who leaves without applauding. Family everybody's escape play (road movie) drawn immediately before was performed synchronically. It was filled by the impulse which destroys a thinking stop. As a result, the last scene induced impression.

The size of what is destroyed increased by minimum performance. Like Robert Bresson, the size of things increased seriousness by expressionless players. The serious feeling also became deep as humorous production. On the other hand, the road movie was lively motion-like. The bunch of the feeling killed till then was exploded to movement. The contrast was skillful.

トウキョウソナタ

監督・脚本：黒沢清
出演：香川照之／小泉今日子／小柳友／井之脇海／井川遥／津田寛治／役所広司

雇用の流動化や格差社会というシステムへ順応することで既に疲弊してしまう現在では、思考停止する場所となってしまうのが、家庭の団らんであり、人間関係の調停がプロフェッショナルの人事課長ですら、家庭の人間関係は棚上げとなる。

順応すべく寄り添っていた社会の側も破綻をはじめた近年、様々な問題としてそれは浮上しているが、依然として世の中はそれを見ようとはぜす、自分だけは関わりたくないと望む意志が思考停止を延命させている。

家庭の団らん、その「変わらなさ」を享受する喜びを実感するには、とことん変化を体験することであり、ラストに息子が余りにも上手いドビュッシーを弾きながらも、拍手一つぜず立ち去る家族が感動的なのは、直前まで描かれた家族それぞれのロードムービーが共時的に行われ、思考停止を破壊する衝動に満ちていたからではないか。

破壊されるものの大きさは、ミニマムな演技によって増大された。ロベール・ブレッソンのように、無表情な役者たちによって事の大きさは深刻さを増し、滑稽な演出ほどシリアス感も深まった。一方でロードムービーは躍動的で、それまで殺していた感情の束を運動へ爆発させたそのコントラストが鮮やかだった。

今回もまた「どこで見つけたのだろう」的な線路沿いの家は、とても黒沢映画的な絵をつくっていて、アンジャッシュの児嶋一哉ですら、黒沢演出の中では「不可解な恐怖」の一部となっていた。

My movie circumstances

This is a TV screen. Weekday does not look at TV almost. Holiday is seen bringing the recorded program together. The movie borrows and sees DVD. As for several years ago, every week went to Movie theater, but almost it does not go recently. The projector became cheap, installed the simple screen to the home. There are a lot of movie theaters in Tokyo, and an old work is screened. There are a lot of film festivals, too. The valuable movie is to like to go to seeing, but because of the habit of seeing at the home, it goes to the big rental store and borrows. Stopping looking at a "popular work of hurry" and "valuable work not made DVD" as a result, a movie freak is retirement...Am I going to Hikikomori?

Sangen-Jaya

Setagaya, Tokyo, Japan. It is located at the merging of two highways, Route 246 and Setagaya-dori, just outside the central area of Shibuya.
This town, composure than central area, many bar and shop. I have to enjoy sometimes. This shot is taken to a residential area and Tōkyū Setagaya Line. Followed by low-rise housing along the line. The Tōkyū Setagaya Line is a light rail line that is operated by Tokyu Corporation. It runs from Sangen-Jaya to Shimo-Takaido, entirely within Setagaya, Tokyo. City outside of the Yamanote line, except along the major road is a residential lot.


And go to the back-street, there are many small bars. Aka Chochin, gives color on the street. There is also a modern bar. Smoke and the smell of grilled chicken, invite the appetite. In an old house that collapsed on the point, they do exist. Front, many modern buildings, some highway. This is not a slum, is known as an old alley. This is one of the charm of Tokyo. Newly developed areas is more uniform city. The city is required to be varied.

Walkabout (film)

Directed by Nicolas Roeg

I felt a strange atmosphere from the beginning. Fragmentary images. Students strange women. Nervous father. Recall the scene of sexual expression. It is also said to be similar to the work sur Luis Buñuel. His father committed suicide soon after the weigh-burning, and Odyssey as only one part of it even just a starting stage.

Wandering the desert in the United Kingdom traditional dress are as funny cosplay. For two people to travel, so it will still remain out of the everyday things just do not swallow. Blouses dirt. Hang in there kids. Oasis to appear often convenient. It's like a director of the seriousness of the situation to avoid it.

Sense of parody that is more heavily by the characters around. Aborigines and Aboriginal boy's picture. He accepted the two people easily, but other tribes are treated as KAKASHI even the burned body of his father. Or even death is a part of daily life, as if people say or is the only part of the goods.

This means that all the world, with in a serious but would not accept the tragedy as a virtual reality that a shift has not been named to the most chaotic, seems to imply feel. This time the chaos, however, to change the subject of fear. The boy is not the familiar stereotype quickly, it is open to Aboriginal and feeling better through her.

Trees relentlessly copy, cut and feel of the female body as a metaphor there, maintaining the beauty that is all to produce high quality images even in the comic. Were told to remember the fun and fulfillment as a movie. Images of beautiful girls in the pool and swim around, seemed to have come from the same perspective captured alive while moving to their wild instinct. Should be aggressive in the beginning, I think it's a good movie and feel a very clear concept of the director wants.
