In 1973 since moving to its current location, NHK Broadcasting Center, it has been brought great influence on the development of Shibuya. In recent years, exchanges between NHK and Shibuya of the city becomes more and more prosperous, it is becoming a new relationship is built. Taeko Nagai NHK Vice President, NHK will look back on Shibuya of transition since the transfer, will further talk about the ideal relationship between NHK and Shibuya.

Or --NHK Shibuya at the time 1973 was relocated, was any such state.

Because until it was in Uchisaiwaicho close to the Ginza, I have been feeling great deal in the country Shibuya. And there are still traces of the "Spring of brook" Ogawa of flow that has become the model of the nursery rhyme, vestiges of the "Shibuya village" was left in here and there. When the little entering the alley, it was not really nothing. At the time, I was an announcer, say "Do you keep buying the land and pool their money little by", because you as was speaking at all (laughs). Of which land is being purchased situated buildings in, also in the repetition of a large building is situated ── further round is purchasing the same land, was a surprise is the largest city within went built a moment. When tracing the Shibuya of development, but is self-flattery is NHK of relocation is the first opportunity, then PARCO has had a cultural impact, and further the city's atmosphere with the advent of the Bunkamura has changed significantly, in recent years Omotesando Hills Is not it.

- The place where Mr. Nagai visit often, Where's either.

Since such a little difficult to enter the youths gather cafe, we will use the calm shop with a space to space. Among them, Bunkamura of the cafe "de Mago" is open space is pleasant, carries often foot. It to wine is also delicious. When you entertain the customers are, and use, such as culinary arts, which has entered the Cerulean Tower, I is often pleasing.

- Compared to the other town, Shibuya features, or do you think that there is around any.

Uptown and I think where the downtown area of ​​the atmosphere are mixed. But it is interesting is confused atmosphere. If think whether was walking a beautiful street, or not a little into the back streets, reasonable shops standing. Then, cultural spot would be attractive also Shibuya's are dotted around the city. This as city culture rich in variety is rooted in, it is not in the other. However, Turning to the one by one, even though it has already been a very interesting exhibition, a low not good enough awareness, it seems not a few poor spot of information originating force. These facilities, if a little more well appeal, I think it is more attention.

- Can you talk about the point at which they feel Shibuya challenges.

You may think you're walking down the street and Do "moisture" is not enough. I think you delight the eyes of passers-by and decorate the flower as the residents an ordinary residential area. Kind of spectacle that few in Shibuya, or probably because fondness has weakened against the town of landlords towards us and the tenant of the borrower. A little more, if Kubare attention to the landscape, I think that increases the attractiveness as a city. Since then, Shibuya area is not too wide, I think you have fun that can be migratory walking. Or missing from the temple Miyamasuzaka Aoyama street, walking to the Harajuku district entered the Meiji-dori beyond the Miyashita park. Is looking forward to Shibuya walk to the line by connecting the dots, but that the location of the undeveloped is interrupted the line there in some places. Why not complete the urban development that was conscious of the fun of such migration.
