Shibuya of future talks about the KEY PERSON key person

Long interview of [key personnel] to be active mainly in the Shibuya. Place a "Shibuya of appeal" through their words.

A rich communication and culture to the hook - I want to connect the city and the young people of Shibuya -Including the management of the basketball court, "Jordan coat" of Shibuya station near Yoshitake park (Shibuya 1-chome), Terai's NPO corporation KOMPOSITION representative to expand the activities of the youth support based in Shibuya. In its unique point of view, and feelings to the Shibuya of the city, he had told a proposal for the future. Shibuya of the city, such as the information center was ideal
It was established circumstances the -KOMPOTISION is
Without having to go to college too much school, it was or has been the secretary of the deputy referred to as a social study. When I go on to graduate school, Standing I want to make my own organization, I'm organized a circle with other students. "Come on, trying to succeed with that interesting at all" but is nice to but enthusiastic and, immediately, had stalled after one year. Is natural if you, because I did not have a decent plan. But give up the is disgusting, it launched the now of the NPO in 2002 was 25 years old. At that stage, so I started kneading finally activities, if you now, it was a snap decision. And, it ended up is, activities that'll push the back of the young people that have stopped in without advancing ahead. We and, generation of under it is rich in material, as long as the parasite to the parent may not work if not for a while to die. It is said to be free, at first glance, but looks as if can do anything, can not find the thing you want to do. You want to provide some possibility to young people to be tormented by these feelings - spread such a large furoshiki, it started a NPO activities.

- I chose the Shibuya activity base is, what reason do.Until it had been rented an office in Roppongi, there it was not a we play location. More full, it's a city where young people gather was good. We are ideal only is large, Japan's what the, the world's copper, so was talking Toka, was if anything in its place, Shibuya of the city, such as the information center that will spread across the country ideal There is also a thing was. I, Shibuya because I thought it was the Kyoto like a location of the Warring States period. Make a flag in this town, if cry and'll be here, over there seems there is someone, Well or trying to do together, Nante Is not likely to take voice. If this is what was the other city, in'll have is somehow strange guy, it seems to get done. It was determined from such intuition, we are confident that no wrong is now.

- From the transferred an office in Shibuya, we are developing the kind of activities do.
Artists I would like to let them draw a picture to the wall of the park to the canvas, I went to talk to the government as "not a joke Nante draw to have a problem with graffiti, even for free, Madashimo If you turn off" I would said the. So, first we began from the cleaning of graffiti. One and a half years as from the front, you have been entrusted with the basket operation of the court, "Jordan coat" of Yoshitake park from Shibuya. Such as now visitors visit from Kansai, it is also the little tourist destination. At the end of last year, changing the outer wall of the dining building that could be in the center city to the canvas, we have to provide a forum for activities to artists to cheer. Because the center street, there is pedestrian traffic of about 10 million people a day, yet we are as many young people who want to disseminate information.

- The young people who gather in Shibuya, how do you catch.Shibuya is full of young people, but not live in Shibuya many of them. We have come with some kind of purpose. They ask whether there is "something", or how come I think that there is "something". That "something" is, I never think that not only clothes Toka record. The superficial, because Shibuya looks gorgeous by the media, might be looking for it. But actually, in the Shibuya I think gather because young people "dream" and "hope" as is be popular "thing" exists. It's probably one of the design and art, culture closer such as music and sports. Young people, something not want to do creative things, has been real to the facilities and features Shibuya such that the base, I think the brand image of this town is finished as a result. For example, you can outgoing Urahara and 109 cultural information, such as Udagawacho is said to be the world's largest record integrated land, clogged creative. In that reason is essentially, I wonder if not you young people gather.

In Shibuya, such as music and sports, they are things that becomes a "communication of the hook," lying on the myriad- What's the challenge for the Shibuya and do you think?
In Shibuya, is also a problem that you do not get to communicate with local people and young people. And "Little Shibuya" consisting of only 200,000 people living there in Shibuya, are two aspects of the "big Shibuya" to capture, including the coming town who is said to be 800,000 Toka million people that it is members of the Shibuya I think that it is. One million young people, but is there not commercially also essential to Shibuya of prosperity also to cultural, on the other hand is also the cause of their social problems such as security and dust. So I think from the point of view of the "big Shibuya" In the future, the young people how it is necessary to strategy or go involving. To do this, we need a shift of Shibuya also from "functional" to "heart". Now in Shibuya, mono has overflowed. Toka tens of thousands of points of the products are sold in Shibuya, a problem of Toka commercial facility is a number, but it is important, Toka become what kind of feelings in Shibuya, now it is considered the Toka Shibuya is what opportunity is important thing is is. Sure, you are a host of young people right now, I will also really feel the doubt and I wonder is able to provide services to young people. But things are as full of, what are sufficiently be satisfied in terms of feelings. To "Do you want to what kind of town Shibuya", is the people of this town are not Ika serious about, it will come out also likely to be caught up in the other town.

- Do you have the future, in Shibuya, think of what kind of activities.We're going to expand the activities that specializes in more Shibuya of the city. The city and the young people are connected, I want to pull out the feeling that the city has us rooting for young people. For example, I think a compelling elements, such as when the Shibuya say in music, "Tower Records" is a lot. While we connect such a fascinating point and the point, in other words while leveraging resources to sleep in the city of Shibuya, we want to support the young people. If you get to to do something freely, whole or in the gallery, or or the city to the gymnasium and athletics stadium town for example, named "Shibuya Museum" - it would be interesting if city looks like a creature or device . Currently, the wall to the canvas of the painting "legal wall" and the basketball tournament "ALLDAY", such as "RUN CARAVAN" to ensure the running space, has been active in the axis of the three categories. In the future, I want to increase its category until about 30. To that end, Shibuya shopping district involvement is was thin until now, neighborhood associations, etc. and also those of the company, thoroughly deepen the local relationship, and I want to connect to the future of the nation-wide spread, this year is that It is the goal.

- Finally, do you have a message to the city of Shibuya.
Have walked the Shibuya, you may suddenly be lonely. For example, just past the mark City, passing the people of much 500 people, you will experience the farewell of 500. Of course, anyone does not dodge the conversation. If this is what walking the same distance in the countryside of the village, it might not encounter only to only two people. But, I would exchange a conversation and I'm sure two people. Something Is not lonely. Originally, in Shibuya, such as music and sports, so I think things that becomes a "communication of the hook" is lying to the myriad, Are in the wake of it, that Ikeru connected with anyone should I become a commonplace of the city kana. Also? The I make what if that kind of mechanism, we believe always. On the other hand, in the "Jordan coat" of Yoshitake park, in addition to beautification consciousness of the young people to use there has been growing with nature, or received a pledge from those of metropolitan housing next to the time of volunteers cleaning, to help to reverse and heard or, also born in the case that cooperation has been born of the people of the neighboring residents. Exactly, but it is connection of the people through the "hook" of basketball. The city is considered by everyone walked such a thing, I'm really happy and me changed Shibuya.
