Shibuya culture PROJECT

Ao Students think you pass through the middle absolutely, definitely.

West:Continued on "URBAN CORE". As you know, Shibuya Station has valley topography and height difference, and Hikarie on Miyamasuzaka side is the same height as Hikarie's 2nd and 3rd floors along Meiji Dori. If you include from the underground FUKU-TOSHIN LINE , people will move vertically by a considerable height, but that there are various ideas here. I would like to ask "Tell me! A person who understands" about the core of Urban Core.

Between 宇留 (! Tell me understand people):Urban core is a space and flow line centered on the 3rd through 4th floor underground. Hikarie's Borehole 3rd floor will be connected to the FUKU-TOSHIN LINE and the Toyoko Line Station from now on. The first floor is connected to Meiji Dori, and the second floor is connected to a pedestrian bridge called "Kodokyo" extending from JR Shibuya Station. I will be connected to the root. From the 3rd floor, you can exit to Aoyama Dori. The fourth floor will have a deck available in the future, which will also connect to Shibuya Station, so you can use the Urban Core's vertical lines to move around Shibuya without having to worry about slopes.

West:It is felt that I like to arrive at around the top of the temple Miyamasuzaka and rush the third floor.

Between 宇留 (! Tell me understand people):This picture was taken from Aoyama.

West:A little while ago, it is a back view that Mr. Yamaguchi was telling me Mechagodzilla ish. Behind the Hikarie, it sounds pretty Boryumi feel.

Watanabe:I come out over there.

West:Another, the middle of the hill, it is also the entrance to put from the side around and across the pedestrian crossing in Shibuya post office.

Between 宇留 (! Tell me understand people):Yes. Just you on the second floor part of Hikarie.

West:Until the post office, with the feeling to go to without getting wet in the most rain.

Between 宇留 (! Tell me understand people):I agree. JR lines and for customers using Toyoko line is, and will continue to exit the through passage of Hikarie through the second floor of straddle road bridge, comes out to around the Shibuya post office.

Watanabe:Ao Students think you pass through the middle absolutely, definitely.

West:This is I will be school route.

Yamaguchi:Because it was sober area Speaking comparatively sober until now. I area through this conductor will also feel like is activated.

West:From blue science this year, it since fourth grade will come back again to the blue University campus. Did really quiet place until now, I guess become to busy place when you hear in April.

Escalator is the image that go through the inside of Sainejiringu.

West:We always look vertically but I would like to experience the fun next to Shibuya Hikarie . At the same time, "Digital Signage" is also said to be quite powerful. The idea is to introduce a new form of digital signage around the Urban Core.

Kobayashi (! Tell me understand people):Urban core is a space in which customers will be most the beginning of the doorway when it came to Shibuya by train. 2 minutes position you so take to go up from the basement the third floor to the fourth floor at the escalator in Hikarie, this space, was planning a digital signage in order to have felt fun time. Signage is a ring-shaped, which was taking advantage of the atrium space, there are in total 3. It is the image of the escalator is going through the inside of Sainejiringu.

West:Amazing.

Kobayashi (! Tell me understand people):For example, the second floor of the signage is about 10 tons weight, as the circumference around 50m, has become quite large. Or say it with a very heavy and would support in the pillar from the bottom, it will become the dowdy thing, how lightly show signage, and it was difficult place called.

West:Escalator is going through the inside of the wheel ....

Hibino:Here, but it is visible anymore.

Kobayashi (! Tell me understand people):Just not lit, the other digital signage has been completed.

West:That what to do with the content flowing through here now, do you a place to Kobayashi-san is thinking.

Kobayashi (! Tell me understand people):That's right.

Should it become a place Tteyuu "I also want to make" or "ideas and images were infested."

West:I think Let's look towards the little time content, but on top of the "food floor" on the 6th floor, 7th floor there is a floor that creative space "8 /". 8 wrote a slash, but I read as "8 / (pot)." This is, by now have been pretty packed a lot of their own planning, it seems whether not it be very large perhaps the use of man. (Teaching people can be seen by) Kobayashi, could you introduce.

Kobayashi (! Tell me understand people):It's very described hard floor, but ..., I would want to make something like a base for design and art. It has event space of about 150 square meters in the middle, gallery so as to surround it, we will create a cafe, a complex art space provided with a function such as the lounge. The partners to operate together, Nagaoka Ken Mei's, Koyama Tomiotto Mr. Irasshaimasu. Nagaoka's 47 prefectures, Toka man of vigor of the land from each, Toka excellent vessel of design, will be exhibited come such, the 47 pieces have been. Recently, (Nagaoka-san) to the much coverage about three months each prefecture, I summarize it in a magazine. It is said that now about five books now, so I want to over about 10 years to complete as a life's work, one of the bases will be here. Side-by-side 47 of the table, we decided to continue to expand the planning of the permanent and annual several times.

Hibino:Does it not shop there?

Kobayashi (! Tell me understand people):What was arranged in 47 pieces of the table, you can buy basically all.

Hibino:Yes.

Kobayashi (! Tell me understand people):Tomiotto Mr. Koyama, as gallerists of contemporary art, Are You a have a feeling that want to expand the horizons of the art. Not only to "8 /" In Koyama's artist himself Irassharu suffer, we will able to introduce a wide range of artists. Opening in scheduled to be held an exhibition of Damien Hirst of global artists, will also be in the place where the person in question is going to introduce something called "Now push" or later. Also the middle of the floor in the event space called "coat", I believe that going to do to often things like workshops and talk shows. In fact, even to Mr. Hibino and to consult various, it is where you have received a unique suggestions.

West:Or coat, I be if when not in use in the event?

Kobayashi (! Tell me understand people):Normal places the sofa, will be in a location that can be slower to come anyone like to lounge.

Hibino:For example, even as a teenager, where if you can go in the device being able to do something, but it is I think it becomes a place "8 /" is required of for the Shibuya creator. Mr. Nagaokenmei, from Koyama Tomiotto's space, so I think the smell of "fun Do I manufacturing" is the environment in which to fill the floor, and in the wake of "I also want to make" or "this in this court, I think that should I become a place Tteyuu What ideas and images have sprung up. " Not born from zero when you make something, or there is something opportunity, with or there is a nucleus, it because the eyebrows think is the thing that will become the various forms so as to wind the yarn. If Ikeru in conjunction with the shop around that good in that way, I think that good.

Kobayashi (! Tell me understand people):You're right. I mean this kind of free space in Shibuya, we have so much no place to express. So much trouble it is such a new building, I think I want to make the unfinished portion in the middle of Shibuya, we are in the space I dare not set anything.

Hibino:It's great.

West:I because it is wide, which is also more than 50 square meters. In that sense, it is that how we operate by software the individual space, I might be going to change little by little the Shibuya future.

Kobayashi (! Tell me understand people):Since Shibuya content is a lot, I will not expect to be nice if in the saucer of their representation.

West:It is a fun space. What Yamaguchi.

Yamaguchi:It is very interesting. Shibuya and or share of young people something a tiny apartment from the old days in Harajuku, and or offices, but it has a history that could more and more brand shops in back streets. Because I think that thus the consumption of over the Harajuku from Shibuya began to spread Innovation Guwahati, because space to produce that kind of something is in the Shibuya of the middle is, I think really be nice.

West:"8 /" It's fun. Since the space name and rank will not match, It is easy to understand, I also I want carrying the foot.

Until the S-Class Mercedes-Benz, you can put in the elevator.

West:On from that of the "8 /", the 9-10th floor there is a vast space called "(Hikarie) hole". Here is what will be used and in what form, (tell me! Seen people) 宇留 between san, please tell me.

Between 宇留 (! Tell me understand people):Is on the 9th floor, the 10th floor there is a large and small two of the event hall of 1,000 square meters and 300 square meters. Is usually event hall I'm often the case in the lower floors of the first floor and the basement, this hall is located on the middle floor, from the glass surface can be overlooking the whole city of Shibuya. Ceiling height of the hall is 7m, is widely your serving space and so on exhibition of fashion shows and car.

West:Yes.

Between 宇留 (! Tell me understand people):Shibuya Station queue front of digital signage "Kyuzu Eye" and by linking the hall, you can also or poured into Kyuzu eye in near real-time the state of the event carried out in the hall. As a place of presentation using the whole city of Shibuya, we believe that would like you to use all means to many people.

West:It is quite a vast space.

Between 宇留 (! Tell me understand people):As a start-up event, a large exposition will be held in commemoration of Ichikawa Kamejiro's attacking the fourth generation Ichikawa Kawanosuke in June. Also, on June 30, we will hold an event called TEDx Tokyo 2012, focusing on debates. It has been decided that a global event, which has been held in Tokyo since 2009, will be held this year in Shibuya Hikarie .

West:Announcement, but I think it's still the possibility that more of the heavyweights of the speakers at the "TEDxTokyo2012" is come is So you there is a great deal.

Between 宇留 (! Tell me understand people):I agree. Now For its part, we have to adjust.

West:Earlier, it had said that the car of the exhibition, whether I can carry to the upper car is also a large elevator?

Between 宇留 (! Tell me understand people):Until the S-Class Mercedes-Benz, you can put in the elevator.

West:Attractive software seems to come out one after another from here also in the hall and "8 /". It's a bit boring, but the information on Shibuya Hikarie has had a chance to hear from different places until now, but I can listen to the story from the person in charge intensively, and Hikarie is quite dense today Could not have been able to input the information of

To view the 1000-year destination, take a look while also imagine Shibuya appearance of a long time ago 1000 years.

West:Finally, I would like to talk with the three people how the city of Shibuya will change with the birth of this Shibuya Hikarie , or how the future will change in the future, Shibuya. In fact, I had interviewed before in three panelists of this panelist, I was able to put out the essence of the words that came out at that time on the monitor.

West:"The basics of the art project rooted in the area are not" festival "transient but it is important to keep doing as small events as it is-this is Hibino's words. As it was an interview at the Shibuya Arts Festival, this word itself may not be directly related to Shibuya Hikarie .... After all, is the art project rooted in the area important to Shibuya?

Hibino:I heard from Tokyu-san about the digital signage of Shibuya Hikarie , "What kind of content do you think there should be", but it is like New Year's circle round at the Kinoh Shrine near the office in New Year's Day Looking at things, I thought, "Oh, it looks like a digital signage circle." Passing through a circle is an impression that you are invited to a different world on the other side, or even in the same step, passing through something different when you go through the circle. One wheel helps the power of human image. For example, although I am on the stage of this place today, I feel that I am in a slightly different dimensional space by putting on a tabi by this setting. The device is a building, a city, or a train. I think that's the same as going through a circle.

West:Yes.

Hibino:The reason I came to live in Shibuya was that I got an award at a contest held in Shibuya. Shibuya has been living since the 80's when culture was at the center of the culture, and this year it will be a new Shibuya stage called Shibuya Hikarie . There is a feeling that we want to connect all layers of that time, like a shrine that has continued for hundreds of years. There was talk of space of Nagaoka and Koyama a while ago, but I think that there may be no way to show "One stripe goes through in Shibuya anyway" while connecting various leaves and leaves. There are a lot of festivals in Shibuya now, including the Shibuya Art Festival, so let's think about a place where such things can be connected to a spiral, for example, in that space of “8 /”. Because we can have a large base, we should do research on the archives of Shibuya and find out what "What was Shibuya" and find a place to think about what to do next. I think.

West:Shrine like a, what is handed down beyond the era, I think it is - would be one important tips.

Hibino:That's right. There are also Meiji Jingu Shrine, but in Japan people gather around such a thing like a guardian forest, do a day off, do a festival .... Now, I think that Shibuya has a form that has a festival every day, but that means that the roadside becomes a shopping street and it becomes a big street. If you can inherit the warmth and wisdom properly, I think you can see what the one line goes through. The twentieth century changed in the world in 10 years, but after 3/11, we still have a much longer time scale, and 10 years will not change much, 100 years may not change, Let's look at 1000-year units, it's getting a stance like this So, to see 1000 years ahead, I will see while thinking of the figure of Shibuya 1000 years old. Where the scale of time has changed, I think that the next proposal, Shibuya Hikarie , is coming out.

West:We do not do unless we think something in Between the past and the future, I mean that. I understand.

Shibuya think still it's suburbs. But, interesting because it is a city where there is much room.

West:Ne The following are the words of Yamaguchi. When I heard that, "How do you capture the Shibuya?" In Yamaguchi, "in the city can enjoy walking without having any information, I want to leave a mess feeling in a good way," he was telling me . What do you think now.

Yamaguchi:It seems to be still after all. In Shibuya, various things are born, and it is easy to get along with it, and I think that there is such fun. Shibuya thinks that it may be considered as "it's fun to the contrary". I'm covering Ginza, Nihonbashi and Kanda, and if I say without fear of misunderstanding, I think Shibuya is still a suburb. The same is true for Shinjuku and Ikebukuro, but the maturity as a city feels like it is from now on. For example, the name Shibuya itself is not yet a brand. There are many things like "Ginza something" or "Nipponbashi something", but "Shibuya something" is not very much. But I think it's interesting because it is a city with enough room, so I think it's an opportunity like Shibuya Hikarie . However, it is only a hard part, so I think it will not be born unless we feel entertained and do something. It can be said that whoever says “it's boring”, so I think it would be good thing that we take this as a good opportunity to change ourselves in an interesting way.

West:Hard, because I mean really it is state of the art, as the software it, is the fact that whether we taking advantage of how the human being there, So you will lead to the next of Shibuya.

If there is a gap that young person is raised something, can continue have in the city is also interesting from now on.

West:In, Yu's words. Yu-san was that "Shibuya want you to continue to be in the city that the city can be a challenge in personal power, young people who want to stand on the starting line gathering".

Watanabe:But I think that close to the Yamaguchi something, rather than the idea of just consume what has been provided, still when you wanted to do something in their own power, Toka shops be popular but small, small but any one of those a place to announce .... So you know as we will archive the era of "Shibuya was interesting", I think that from now on I want also continues to be a kind of town. Speaking of easy-to-understand, the place called the amusement park, it has never I thought so much interesting.

West:I see.

Watanabe:It's interesting. It's interesting because there are vehicles with great speed, but I can only do things in order given what I have been given. You can't put in your own ideas or ideas. But in parks and alleys, if you don't put your own ideas, isn't it not interesting? In that sense, I always hope that Shibuya should be a city full of personal ideas. For example, it would be nice to say that a big company (like opening a store in Shibuya Hikarie ) would make a decent thing, but that is not a good thing. However, there is absolutely a store that can only be done by personal power. In Shibuya, there is a bar called "Zokutoya Torii" where you can have a simmering year round. For example, I think such a thing is born only by the device of the shopkeeper. I hope that you want to be in a city that does not exclude such things, or that there is room for individuals to get into such gaps.

West:City "personal power" can be exhibited.

Watanabe:It is a personal force that you would like a city, such as I will go higher people.

West:What about recently.

Watanabe:You How do I know. Although a little derailed story is, When was I start a restaurant, that get away from the city center, and some people are very stressed. This means that people with arms have gathered a lot in the city center, so delicious shop the full there. But, for example, National (National) After doing most of with stewed shop at, it is extremely pleasing to people of the city.

West:I see.

Watanabe:In idea, it's I'm also, people who had been the story that had the idea of going out to the suburbs. Certainly I'm not, because Shibuya as it was in Yamaguchi's story of a little while ago might not the city center in the true sense of the term, if there is a gap that the young person is raised something on their own, in the future I think that might be continued have an interesting town.

West:Of "8 /" a little while ago, for example, something in the event.

Watanabe:That's right.

West:It's kind of individual should I become a place to receive inspiration. Would not you go then connected.

Watanabe:But I kind of feel is got to.

West:Shibuya the city, while as the outline also that power fell is said in that sense, for the future, part of individual forces can exert is still a lot, because I mean that remaining compared to the other town. Given the fact that how we taking advantage of this, connection of individual and Shibuya of town it's what very important.

Watanabe:It is important.

Together when you want to share the joy, when you go to see people go to Shibuya.

Hibino:It still Shibuya after, for example, is not it scramble intersection. Scramble crossing, in football, if you or beat Japan in the World Cup.

Watanabe:It is high-touch.

Hibino:In high-touch. It's such a place that only gather. In the world, for example, if Italy win gathered people in front of the fountain of Milan of the dome, so gather a person in the Champs Elysees of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, joy together when their nation was perpetrated a big something you want to share, how much or where to go out at the time that want to meet in person, or that Japan, in Tokyo is not going to Shibuya.

Watanabe:It's square.

Hibino:Go to Shibuya when you go to meet people, meet the people and go to Shibuya. Surely a place called some people than the building, I think at Shibuya interesting. So, raise a person. We are the days of the '80s, Art Toka, the design of the scene have gathered to Koen Dori, from Shibuya, including the kind of magazine culture There was a period was based.

Watanabe:It was there.

Hibino:After all, if there is a base that will grow human beings, I think is a place to go to meet people and wonder if Shibuya is.

Watanabe:I think also there is quite a pattern that the meeting in Shibuya. It easily gathered somehow, seeing people in that sense. That's what, I think I feel that there should be in Shibuya seems trying to man of strong personal power get together.

West:It will also be a weapon for the future of Shibuya. If you think that way, you feel like Shibuya Hikarie has many places to meet people.

Watanabe:I agree.

Hibino:"Where Where to" like a "Let 's try to exercise" the direction of that, that "we go", because such naming is, I feel like very new.

West:It is a story about the naming of "Hikarie".

Everyone:(Lol)

West:From here I can do Shibuya talks in one or two hours, but unfortunately it was time. Shibuya Hikarie , 64 days to open. I would like to look forward to the April opening day, with each of you having a delusion in the past two months. Then, "Let's consider Shibuya from Shibuya Hikarie , Shibuya culture tea party 其 No ～ man festival" will end with this. Thank you very much.

Everyone:Thank you very much.
