January 2006 while internationally active as a lawyer,, who Atsushi Naito was opening the cinema house, Shinemavera Shibuya in Shibuya Maruyama-cho. There the only cinema house among the Shibuya mini theater gather, since its opening, we call the topic. That and the history of opened in Naito's, I heard and I think to the Shibuya.

- Please tell me why the Naito's lawyer has opened a cinema house.

Plainly speaking movie I liked. Movie of about 350 present in the year to the student had also through Shigeku feet and watching cinema house. Even after becoming a lawyer has been involved in the work of mainly movies and music field. Although I thought I regret going to gradually cinema house disappears, nobody would not newly or open a cinema house (laughs). It is a motive of the opening that was Omoita' whether do it yourself from helped. As one of the favorite movie, Do not interesting if screened at the cinema house a combination of the two works, Nante There were well able to indulge in fantasy, did not think that surely will be opened on their own.

- To opening a movie theater in the individual, but it is quite a big decision.

Hey That's right. However all rather than advanced alone, now, friends from the old days is the owner of the euro space that are in the same building, at a certain time, I one of the screen, the same building euro space with two screens When approached with or not to open the movie theater, I came back a good answer. And finally, now that the go ahead to open to coalition with Q-AX Cinema which is still located in the same building. Since the Euro Space is a movie theater that has been loved long in Shibuya, it was decided to be inevitably Shibuya new location. I, but it was a relatively open regarding the location, Euro Space side I'm policy as "transfer destination is not only Shibuya" was clear. It is likely there is a feeling of resistance in women visit in one person per Shinjuku Kabukicho, Ginza has a higher good But financial hurdles as the location of the mini theater. Ikebukuro also is not bad, but I feel that people of Shibuya with a sub-culture-ish vulgar is is suitable considering that the screening of the works of art system.

- The current location is, what kind of chose the will you do with your thinking.

I was looking for a 80 square meters or more of the site at least I did not want so much a small movie theater, ideal land is terribly high. Just because because it was unpleasant even to compromise, it was pretty hard. We chose now of the place have a size of 150 square meters, close to the Le cinema, because there are three Hall of Cine Amuse East & West and Shibuya Cine la set, open my house is a new There was the idea or not can become the center of the mini theater if.

However, the future, progress in the development of the station itself of Shibuya, and Route 13 and Toyoko begin a mutual direct operation in the future, whether the person is not you do not get off at Shibuya Station. When such as station buildings as well as got off even become respectable and well dressed, do not come out to the town people, concern that I think we do not come people to take Maruyama-cho, about 10 minutes walk from the station, there is the vague It is also a fact.

- Since its opening, what about the audience of the incoming.

What a pretty much (laughs). Of the three featured, box office but is no problem if two wins and one loss, I feel has remained at the moment one win and two losses. The popular high, it is indeed likely cinema house fan favorite work. Yasushi Kato feature was successful exactly the reading hits. It was a little surprising to "deviate'll" and said Kurosawa had Qing feature of the congestion of customers was a success from the around. Featured a collection of Momoe of feature films Yamaguchi in reverse had thought solid, but was defeated. Momoe Yamaguchi fan does not seem to Let in the movie theater because they align the DVD, cinema house fan is I guess the thing that was not interested necessarily in the works of Momoe Yamaguchi. There was no poor also similarly Hiroko Yakushimaru feature enters of. Cinema house fan from the old days and are in the country, is also not a few customers who visit from Yokohama and Saitama. The feature of Momoe Yamaguchi was Welcome also anyone who purposely came from Fukui Prefecture. In the feature, we try and kind of unique fan, a balance such as that attract both new customers. It was also popular in the layer of either Ozu Yasujiro feature is in that sense.

Internal Shinemavera Shibuya theater

- Featured How think of you do?

I'd like to really free to set the feature, it is particularly Movie because the column is like right out of the problem, which is often physically constrained. In addition, one case of the feature often from 18 this is I will need the works of about 24, even if Omoita' a feature of one of the directors, there is also that it the number of the just is not collected. I feel that envisions featured in one of the pace in three weeks among such constraints. Although the contents of the basic feature you think of your own, it is also often incorporate voice around. Currently, it featured in the exhibition "obsession, profiles of people -Monde Cinemaverique-" is, from Ms. Kimihiko Kimata of movie critic who appeared on the first day of the talk show, received a contact, "I do this for." it was an opportunity.

- Cinema house has decreased in many places, but do you think in the future, become what circumstances.

Personally, I think I want you to development, it is a fact to be honest I think is that kana difficult. Since our school days did not have any video, let alone DVD, or old movie is happens on television, but was not seen to be a cinema house, which only come to be easy to watch a movie at home It is closed. Still, it does not mean the fun of cinema house was gone. The hotel, laugh or cry at the same moment through the screen is strangers sitting next to, subtle communication that is different is satisfied as to talk face-to-face. Would be further fun of all at once to see is the also cinema house unique to a connection movie through the feature. That kind of charm, I think and I want to tell to young people who do not know the cinema house.

- Can you tell us the encounter of Naito's and Shibuya.

Since the maternal grandmother lived in metropolitan housing of Shibuya on the weekend before attending kindergarten had come to play. Talking about before the Tokyo Olympic Games will be held, you remember to overjoyed asked to take me to the kiddie land of Omotesando. The student was packed going to Shibuya of cinema and used bookstore. Now almost left to have no love letter alley and critic of Jin'ichi Uekusa is there is a used bookstore that come the Books to rummage, was actually sometimes I saw Oboshiki figure and several times himself. There is Shibuya cinema house that whole line locus in at the time, had come with a friend and always test is finished. It was a great help for students cinema house, which is cheaper to watch the double feature is. Always 5 and 6 percent of the seats were filled. So much of it devoted to the movie so far I think that was greater encounter with the film critic of Shigehiko Hasumi teacher in the French literary person. So it was entangled in magic to tell the movie in a novel protest against the decision. Five a week on average still is watching a movie. We also went to the other town. That's what, I would go and all-day to look for, such as used books, Shibuya in the used bookstore and jazz cafe, movie theater, etc., run at the time of the sub-culture was the city that will satisfy the desire for a variety of reasons.

- At Shibuya good, also, please let us know that you want to Shibuya in the future.

Recently, the area around Shibuya Station on the INOKASHIRA LINE has been well maintained. During my college days, there was a Motsuyaki store in a messy atmosphere and I used to drink regularly. During this time, when I was walking while thinking "This neighborhood has changed," I found an old Motu Yakiya in a deep place, and I was happy and ate a lot. There was also a strip theater in that area, but now it seems to be a cafe. In that sense, I receive the impression that "compliance" is decreasing from the city. I think Shibuya's biggest attraction is that there is a suspicion in a good sense. Certainly the scene where people are walking while laughing in a space like the Namiki Dori in Omotesando is beautiful, but I do not think so in Shibuya and I think it is the good point of Shibuya where it is not. I'm not 100% confident in subculture, but subculture is often associated with some sort of clutter. So there is no subculture in clean Omotesando, neither a movie theater nor a used bookstore. I think it is a matter of personal preference, but I like Shibuya like that. So, I hope that in the future, we will want to leave a certain level of clutter even if we proceed with maintenance.
