To archive the Shibuya of memory disappearing in the music video

Shibuya of the city redevelopment proceeds will be changed dramatically in a few years later. For example, until March 2013, Shibuya Station Toyoko wonder remember that it was a ground station building. Through the three years since then, Shibuya Station Toyoko is becoming established as a station of the underground. May be the walking down the street, at the time to discover the building "there, here is the one place that has come before," "child, often came to play with Dad" and the like, building and storage is bound You may notice that. However, when is spreading place to pow and vacant land should be, here in what what Ken has stood up before, no longer know, instantly. At the same time it continues to fade gradually also their memory stick string in its place, resulting in unawares forgetting. Between the "City and memory" seems like there is such a close relationship.

Along with such redevelopment, in disappearing memory of Shibuya gradually, a growing number of works to stop the appearance of "now in Shibuya" in the music video artists to release. Along with the historical background with its work memory of the city is firmly index in the video, be aware that also plays a role as a valuable digital archive towards the future.
