Shibuya culture PROJECT

In the WBC semi-final held on March 23, Japan played against America and won the game against the US on the 24th in the final match. Japan baseball has only achieved two consecutive victories, but even in Shibuya, an exciting battle is being fought with the theme of Japan and the United States themed. This time, I introduce "American made" movie series produced in the United States as a weapon of "Japan made" animation series full of Japanese taste "American" taste and America's thinking "Japan" taste. I would like to discover the unexpected appeal that Japan can not see through staying in my country by seeing a series of works that Japan has in America and America has an impressive arbitrary image of Japan.

In Shibuya Parco, until March 30,Parco FactoryAt the main venue and a composite event of "The World of GOLDEN EGGS" ("GE")"The World of GOLDEN EGGS HachameCharity! PEACE & EARTH is NECESSARY jar everyone I become happy! "It has held.
"GE" is an animation program on the stage of the legendary city "Turkey's Hill" where the everyday lives of the unique characters living there are drawn. Many people remind me of American-made animation series such as "South Park" and "Simpsons" from simplified character shaping, planar coloring, plenty of black joke conversation and so on. English subtitles are also displayed according to the dialogue. However, in fact, this work is an animation made in Japan that has been delivered in 2005 from an animation specialty channel "Kids Station" and a music specialty channel "MUSIC ON TV!" Almost all the characters' voices are handled by two voice actors changing their voice tone, and a unique style in which video production starts after voice recording is also one of the major features.
今回のイベントは、キャラクターたちのミュージック・アニメ作品を収録したDVD『''MUSIC COMPLETE''／JAPAN TOUR IN TOKYO』の発売を記念したもの。渋谷パルコでは、パルコファクトリーをアニメの舞台「ターキーズヒル」に模し、パルコ・パート１併設のカフェ・mophでは限定メニューを販売、パート３併設の映画館・ShinekuintoSo, for example, holding a special screening of popular episodes, expressing the world of "GE" with a variety of approaches. I would like to enjoy "exoticism" made in Japan.

Theater N ShibuyaSo, "Two-Handed Machine Girl" "Tokyo Cruel Police" is screening in two pieces. Two work was produced by importing a Japanese film whose radical depiction sells such as "Fist of the Sengoku Warrior Fudo" (1996 / Director: Takashi Miike) and "VERSUS" (2000 / Director: Ryuhei Kitamura) It is a new label "TOKYO SHOCK" by a North American video maker "Media Blasters" that has made me hit. "One-handed machine girl", directed by Igarashi Iguchi, born as the first "TOKYO SHOCK", is action and entertainment that captured images of biased Japanese from American perspectives such as sushi, tempura, ninja and yakuza. After production, it became a big topic in the USA, and at last the theatrical release in Japan was realized last year.
In addition, "TOKYO SHOCK" 2nd "Tokyo cruel police" is a splatter SF who starred as a female gentle elephant who gets cult popularity in the United States with appearances to Takehiro Miike directed by Atsushi Miike "Auditions". Here as well, while setting "Japan in the future" as a stage, Japanese elements such as Japanese sword, kimono and armor are "scattered around" everywhere. Nishimura Yoshihiro who decided to make a full-fledged directorial debut this work also handled special shaping and make-up such as "suicide circle" (02 / director: Sonoko Women), "MEATBALL MACHINE" (05 / director: Yuuto Yamaguchi) It is a person who has pursued his own cruel expression. I would like to enjoy "digestion of Japan" which was "reverse imported" from the United States, out of digit.
