On July 20 in Shibuya Hikarie , the second-generation Graduation Exhibition "LIVE BAPA" of the next-generation creator training school "BAPA (Both Art and Programming Academy)" was held. The students who were assigned the theme of graduation production the theme of graduation production theme that collaborates with the idol unit "condida doll of rainbow" (the rainbow con), and anticipate the future of Shibuya, what kind of mechanism in the day live Did you try?

Beyond the spirit of "Graduation work announcement of the field of" by a mere student, I think I want to report on the state of the "new creative" same live event felt the possibility of a "new entertainment".
The first place I wonder What kind of school is the BAPA?
I think I'll keep briefly and opened of history before delving into the subject. The school maker of production, such as advertising and digital content "Bascule" and (Minato-ku, Tokyo) "PARTY (party)" (Shibuya-ku Sarugakucho) is operated, the skill of "Art (design) and code (program)." It aims of the next generation of creators training that combines. Speaking to more chewing, from "liberal arts creators" to "science creator", still hopes to discover and nurture the "creator that can be coming and going of the arts and sciences area." Speaking of the general designer, formerly College of Art, but liberal arts graduate professional school of design system was the mainstream, since the advent of the Internet, the work of graphic designers who had centered on the paper medium has changed greatly. Web design, coding, progress in professional and fragmentation of such programs, the width of the work required of the designer's had spread to the digital field. Further surge is Concerning Copyrights and SNS demand with the advent of the iPhone in 2007, the creative industry has become a "designer (= humanities)," "programmer (= science)" situation that forced obtained do not greatly shifted to the era from the age of .

For example, the Perfume of Cannes performance in 2013 shocked the world, the production company that it a gimmick was the Rye Zoma Genetics behind the scenes (Minato-ku, Tokyo). Representative, Seiichi Saito of the same company is Columbia University, Department of Architecture, Daito Manabe's Board of Directors is a science of crunchy native Tokyo University of Science Faculty of Science Mathematics. Furthermore, dance "team lab was recorded attract 47 million people! And Art Exhibition, learn! Future of the amusement park "(National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation) the team lab worked (Bunkyo-ku) is a company that Inoko Toshiyuki's representative has been launched in collaboration with the classmate of the University of Tokyo Faculty of Engineering, Applied Physics and counting Engineering. Such as digital art and interactive design, Internet and smartphone, today's fusion of the new digital technology is required in the creative world, the force of this science is indispensable. So to speak, BAPA is "Art & Code (Art & code)" as a keyword, connecting the area, which has been divided as a "humanities", "science" until now, the idea and free idea can be implemented in their own force "talent = Super Let's produced a creator ", I school that has a high ambition.

The school was opened last year from these hot feelings, it reached the second stage in this year. The current fiscal year that enrollment recruitment has been carried out in January, pass through 42 people to the center and young working people and students to work in, such as advertising agencies and the media is the entrance examination. Until July from this spring, it celebrated its creators at the forefront of the advertising and creative industry as lecturers, teaching in the original hands-on curriculum for all 13 times have been conducted. This graduation project live in total finish of tuition over four months, also said that the final test to measure the growth and competence of students.
Well, the last test of the students, the theme of the graduation project is "Shibuya-based next-generation entertainment in 2020". With the cooperation of the female idol unit "rainbow of Conquistador (Rainbow Con)", in her their live performance, the inclusion of "interactive performance" that combines digital and art. And, to realize a "new live experience" as to preempt the Shibuya of the future, the challenge of this time of the graduation project.

By the way, for those who do not know the "rainbow of Conquistador (Rainbow Con)" ...
The Conquistador of the rainbow, was born from the national audition of "dollar arrive! Project" to develop idle to be held in the illustration posted SNS "pixiv", the first graduating class of the idle unit. At the time of his debut in 2014, Maiko Fukushima of propagation set .inc producer, Mr. Kenichi before Yamada to the music provided (Hyadain), costume design Kishida Mel's, et al luxurious creators team is gathered, also by a collection of big topic knowledge It is. http://pixiv-pro.com/2zicon/

Students were divided in all nine teams of A~I is, compete for the seat of the best work before the crowd of gathered all standing 300 people in the hall, go to the presentation live rendition of the rainbow close to the order.
Moderator is, comedian and penalty Hide's, Mariko Nishimura is in charge of the HEART CATCH representative, while sprinkled with witty talk in between live performance by each team, was liven up the venue a lot.

Review how each team has access to a dedicated page from 300 spectators own smartphone you are in the venue, actually to experience a live performance, one person one vote to the team that went to "live performance" that was the most fun Moriagare It was made in a form cast.
To obtain the overwhelming support of 300 people in 115 votes, was the team H was chosen in the first place of imposing "Sync Ring- synchro Shimaku ring". Their team, distribute the sensor to fit on the fingertip to the audience all in advance. Leaving the LED glowing ring in the fingertips, to match the rainbow Con song "pixiv temperature", "(waving to the left) ← mark" flowing from the right of the large screen → mark (hand to the right the shake), "" performs the operation in accordance with the symbols, such as hands mark (clapping) ". The audience moves in unison with the rhythm and symbols, would that, such as the synchro degree continue to percentage displayed on the screen, it can be said that most of the reasons for fun, such as a rhythm game (sound gate) has attracted strong support .When you move your finger with a sensor, the venue has emerged trajectory of the light as light art.

Then, second place and became the team I "thing bazooka" (62 votes). Mechanism called and shout a message towards the large loudspeaker type of device that is installed in the venue "things bazooka", is displayed on a large screen the words is converted from voice to instant text.
The audience has sent a passion and messages, such as the direction from Koto bazooka in rainbow Gong members "transcendence cute", "Shigechi Favorite'm ah ah ah ..." in one by one change during a live. Although the "voice input function" itself has been put to practical use in such as a PC or smartphone, not a new feature, it was popular as at once closer live produce a sense of distance between the idle and the fan.

Third place team B "EXCITOSS!" (42 votes). "Sora set" the right half of the venue, the team divided into a half left in the "peach set", carry out the gestures that shake the hand to the ball put on the army side of the basket, which was projected on a large screen. Sensor reacts to the movement of the hand, those that ball put game of Gachinko of two teams compete while watching the live can enjoy.Devices such as without the intervention to any smartphone, move the hand, production can participate with nature to live by moving the body has grabbed the hearts of the audience.

In addition, live production is as follows for each team.
Team F "Kirameke! Conquistador of the rainbow." Select the pushing member of the rainbow Con, star in the big screen and shake the smartphone screen during a live is reflected shining and sparkling. Pushing to increase the star of Men, he stood the figure of audience that desperately shake the smartphone.

Team G, "Let 's spider the band WE ARE rainbow Con BAND~ venue everyone! ~". Distribution guitar, drums, the three types of cardboard instrument of the keyboard to the audience of the venue. When installed their smartphone to the instrument, everyone will be able to easily play musical instruments. 300 people a total has assembled a special band of one night only with the rainbow Con, the audience themselves enjoyed originated the music as one of the members.

Team E, "LIVE SCORE ~ unannounced test - of the rainbow Con midsummer." Idea that the "now" of the rainbow Con as a director to visualize, the score displayed on a large screen as karaoke scoring machine singing in boisterous dance. Scoring members and fans a thrill until the exit could be shared. Left photo, use a scoring machine, figure that Mr. Hide sings "Twinkle Twinkle Little Mother and Child". By the way, scoring the result was 64 points.

Team A "NIJICON LIVE GYM". The more you support the rainbow Con live, things that calories are consumed diet can be. Attempt to enter their name and weight to the smartphone before live, the challenge to the diet toward a weight loss goal from the numerical value obtained by summing the weight of the venue everyone. By the way, at this time of the live successful diet challenge, we shared the joy with the entire members and the audience.

Team D, "You're a monopoly cannon". Thing called tube the rainbow Gong members, such as the cannon using the super-directional speakers bearers from the shoulder, deliver the line of sight and the singing voice towards the person fan during a live. Singing voice, which is delivered from the super-directional speaker was like to give the illusion that has been whispered only for myself, excitement live as a director tool to feel "special feeling". Ayaka Ikezawa, known as the talent and programmer (right photo, T-shirts figure) also participated in the team D as one of the students, was accompanied by a flower in the event along with the rainbow Con.

Team C, "CHEER PEOPLE". Sending a 13 character of the support message to the members from the smartphone, us to display one character as a placard character to the big screen. This state is, like like a human character cheer high school baseball in the Alps stand, was a very lovely live production.

The school principal Naoki Ito (left) and Masayoshi Boku (right), students who have finished the presentation. "I do my best to not sleep everyone. I want to compliment the students," rejoiced the success of the (Ito's) and live.

The work announcement of student graduation project, the live that showed the unusual upsurge. Really do live in the idol of a leading role, or whether production is the protagonist, and although somewhat is not without some parts feel the question was what can feel the possibility of a new live entertainment enough. During the, as it is as the actual live performance, I think that there were also some things I could use anytime soon. On the other hand, I feel it as a point to be worried about was very Produce utilizing the many smartphone, and such as operation of the device and the complex behavior is applied, as well as reduced by half is feeling to enjoy absolutely live itself pure It was. Without using any tools such as team B "EXCITOSS!", Simple design that can participate in the interactive production by simply moving the hand, it might be said to be surprisingly important point. Only a desk do not know, was allowed to once again feel the depth of the live production.

The largest discovery of the last in the same live, would also "rainbow Con". After the live end also her their song is followed by a state that does not away from the head .... We want to focus on the trend of the BAPA graduates and rainbow configuration in the future.
