This year, bunkamura is celebrating its 20th anniversary, PARCO is at its 40th anniversary, and this is a major milestone for Shibuya's culture. In 1969, when the first store, Ikebukuro Parco, was founded, Apollo 11 was the first mankind to land on the moon in the world, and Japan was booming after the Tokyo Olympics. Furthermore, the whole Japan was filled with dreams and hopes for the Osaka version Expo held in 1970 the following year. It was at that time when Kenji-kun, a boy from the 20th century, was building a secret base. Shibuya PARCO was born in 1973, and since then, the culture and fashion centered on young people have blossomed at once, creating the “Shibuya” that is today. A special exhibition "PARCO 40th anniversary TOKYO 1969", which looks back on the youth's cultural scene at that time, will be held at Shibuya Parco starting this Saturday. During the exhibition period, media producer Naoki Tachikawa will be the host, and a talk show of creators and artists who know the movement at the time will be held. For young people who do not know that time, Daido Moriyama's photo work, Aki Uno's event poster, woodstock images, etc. will surely be a great stimulus.

On the other hand, “Bunkamura” has a great presence in Shibuya as an adult cultural center. 1989, when Bunkamura was born, was an era when it was supported by the bubble economy, just like 1969 when Parco was born. It was a time when the Emperor Showa collapsed and the year changed from "Showa" to "Heisei", and a big change was required in Shibuya. Bunkamura, which consists of four facilities: “Orchard Hall”, “Theater Cocoon”, “The Museum” and “Le Cinema”, was a epoch-making complex cultural facility where you can enjoy high-quality music, theater, art and movies. It was a thing. This year, 20 years after its opening, this year's Bunkamura's history exhibition “Bunkamura's Trail Exhibition” will be held. The first part, “From the concept of 1984-1989 to the opening performance”, which introduces the process from the conception of Bunkamura in 1984 to its founding in 1989, begins at Bunkamura Gallery from June 4.

The bubble economy is often negatively viewed, but given the history of today's Shibuya culture being supported by the good economy, it cannot be ruled out.
Now, what kind of culture will be born in Shibuya 40 years after PARCO's founding, 20 years since Bunkamura's founding, and this year with a "9" at the end of the year...
