Its unique in a number of ideas, in the land of Shibuya, How will either have been produced.

Shibuya of the city was found to be facing the unexpected, "child-rearing"

- For two people of Shibuya of the encounter?

(Uruma)I was born of Sasazuka, the first memory of Shibuya, when I went to kindergarten or elementary school, that went to the Tokyu Bunka Kaikan of the planetarium. Nearly 20 years ago, from the beginning to attend Kuwasawa Design Institute, it will be especially deep relationship.
(Derbi)When I was in elementary school, or come been brought to the mother at the time that could Shibuya Parco, the oldest memory was or visited the NHK of the building it is related to Shibuya. Is a student you were often play with friends and Shinjuku, but a different feeling than when you spend in Shibuya. Shibuya guess I felt that it is a special city at the cutting edge.
(Uruma)Since I went to Kuwasawa Design, though not as much as now, but the center city was crowded with young people. At that time in the prime Shibuya Parco, I had to pull the culture. It has raised "Japan Graphic Exhibition" or "parody" exhibition is very, had come pouring is young people that wants to be a creator.
(Derbi)Such circumstances, and the dirty-looking of full of paint, is we had been up and down a Koen-dori (laughs).
(Uruma)Workplace from the start of work, is much more in the Shibuya Ward. The first office in Hatagaya, next Sasazuka, Jingumae, before the eyes of Tokyu Hands, and two years ago has been moved to near the current of Yoyogi Park. So now, than is Shibuya for us say to do something special, it is a sense of town to spend the day-to-day.

- It has been fairly frequent relocation.

(Uruma)I think that once you move if the update. But before the office of the eye of the Tokyu Hands is very convenient, was the first update. Tokyu Hands is it because I had become like the office of the warehouse (laughs). When you go to Tokyu Hands, often to end up buying up unwanted things, but to be in front of "once again, I do if you come," is there no to wasteful use and benefits. I want connect with corridor from there was the office on the fourth floor office, many times, or that I thought (laughs).
(Derbi)It is a small child, it was also good there was also a nursery school near the Tokyu Hands at the time.
(Uruma)Shibuya was found that it is a city facing the surprisingly childcare. Born and raised people I in Shibuya, I Minna us over Friendly and voice to children. Not only the connection of the nursery school, just walking down the street, I could a lot of acquaintances. But from the outside you hard to see, it's there is a network of fellow residents in Shibuya. In it is very open, strangers even us readily accepted. Later, when the child care while working, but we have the opportunity to go out to absolutely child at night, to have the eyes of the community, to the street light, we also feel surprisingly safe thing.
(Derbi)Being in Shibuya, including people who came from outside, everyone might get used to frank and open. If there is a store of foot massage that run by Chinese in the lower floor of the office, that person be or give me candy and dolls every time I see a child, became very good friends. However, Shibuya only point that is small shops selling children's products had a hard time.

Following to the airport, to meet the person who has changed Shibuya (laughs)

- Where is frequently visited place in Shibuya'll we do?

(Uruma)If there is a cafe near the Tokyu Hands are through from student days, during the day it is often the idea out there. In the so-called old-fashioned net cafe, it's a really good atmosphere. Including "Bottom Biting Bug", many works of UrumaDelvi was born in this shop.
(Uruma)After that, Tokyu Hands, of course, it will go may be such as Aoyama Book Center. Eating out also I often around Shibuya, recently, I do not have the nightlife.
(Derbi)I also often dispense with Shibuya Whatever you do. Recently, if there is no opportunity, such as meet someone, I do not go to the other town.

- Shibuya and What is the difference between the other of the city.

(Derbi)Perhaps no easy town sense of direction. And "Which is the train station?" From passers-by, I was asked is there many times. After, because Shibuya many people have changed, A fun to the human observation. When I was in front of the office of the eye of Tokyu Hands, which was looking at well the people going into the Tokyu Hands, in particular regular holiday was interesting. To see that the store is closed with a big sigh as "Haa", then notes that always put out a mobile phone is, I'm all the same.
(Uruma)While people who came to buy something in a hurry at a loss, Will is in communication, such as the boss. Then, maybe, I think running in, such as Shinjuku (laughs). Being at the airport, "heck, this man is where I came from?" I'm a person that has changed that would think that many. Following to the airport for me, I have place to meet the oddball is Shibuya (laughs).
(Uruma)There is a word to case and Halle, but Shibuya Will there are many people who visit in search of Halle. Of course, Shinjuku and Ikebukuro would also be the same, but Shibuya has a sense of the city that are specially Haji kicked likely.
