- Whether Masui-san ever been for the first time in Shibuya is the time when?

Since came out to Tokyo from the university after graduating from high school in Hiroshima, I came for the first time in Shibuya It is a student. Since the only university boarding house was Koenji in Yotsuya, it went well for those of Shinjuku if anything. I feel like had somehow Kio' is when you go to Shibuya. For the young man at the time of the redneck, the Toka Koen-dori have pun, a little higher threshold ... or thought, "Do not that I have a place." But I thing Tteyuu it was about redneck (laughs).

- How did you feel the Shibuya cultural scene at the time?

There is a movie theater called "whole line seat" to the location of the now of the house Shibuya under Miyamasuzaka TOEI, had been well done the Movie. Shochiku and Toei cinema There was also. But, we have those kind of cultural, and movies and music, or have received the most exciting in the subculture ones is what to say and had been out of the Parco also published magazine "surprised House". If you are also posted, and occasionally or their control is selected, and happy anymore with it. Is what years feeling like a "mind of the teacher", was crazy about surprised House. Anyway, "The Thinker us this interesting thing, really fun Do" was the feeling that been found ... I enjoy whereabouts thought. So also had offices in now of the place, that the immediate vicinity of the Parco publication that had originated the "surprised House", also also feel that wonder if something edge that you are now there work.

- Even now, is there any stimulus received from the Shibuya?

At first, now has a job at a movie company called Daiei that has been absorbed into Kadokawa movie's. Because there was a company in Shinbashi, was the environment that not only look at salaried workers also come out to town for lunch. At that time there was a somehow I feel it 's "company working", from the start based on the Shibuya Is not the intense day-to-day transition. In that sense, we feel that it can absorb the energy of the young people in the skin.

- Do you have a look at the Shibuya now to what the wind?

Shibuya Holmes of the apartment went up the Koen-dori, because there is music in the office of Alta Mira music, and what round-trip one day around here. I think you stay the various people. During this period, if came back to the morning of the office in about 6 o'clock, I have a girl is drunk sleeping in the next to the manga cafe in the apartment of the back door. All right kana. What fell down halfway drunk, but I do not know whether they have fallen do not put in the coffee shop, or witnessed such, Well variety. But is the previous, but know there was also scary feeling to walk a very or (laughs) ... for a period of time dangerous met with father hunt, it is a little calm recently.

- As viewed from the standpoint that life, Shibuya of appeal would kind of place?

Once upon a time, there was a Chinese food shop in alternation of the previous Inokashira street. But was going out of business before about a year, I have to go to eat always even out, or the launch of staff and late night .... Even stay in the city of Shibuya, eat a lunch to go to where to wear sandals, "the movie is what it?" "No, recently I'm not so much Hein" to talk Nante, the neighborhood association feeling It was very good there. And that store is gone, you have to feel a little lonely. If there is a store, such as have been doing from the post-war, like me to tell the history of Shibuya, and the old ones, which continued like that long, I think the new ones and that the Do not is good that it's a city that has been mixed. Not 's new only .... When it comes to the time of the festival, I always think I "Do not want to make a movie Shibuya on the stage." Also in the festival of gold king shrine, also in the festival of hundred hotels shop, when it comes to the time to properly come out of the local people, are doing not lose to young people the event as locals. It is thought that really be nice. Looking at that sort of you think "Do seems to Tokyo". So the festival to the subject, I think that one can not talk about people who are keeping something Shibuya festival. In there, I think that young people and some kind of contact are also absolute.

- It looks more work that the Shibuya on the stage.

After all foreigners are entertaining the city of Shibuya. However, the movie set in Shibuya is often a movie dealing with the customs of young people. But I think that is not the only thing like that. There are a lot of people who do normal work. But the feeling that they are living and living in such a way is hardly depicted. Even if you run a real estate business in a nearby apartment, or people who work for Tokyu Hands, you see it coming to work in the middle of Shibuya every morning. Shibuya is a city with many faces, not just in places where young people are coming and going home soon, as there are people who are actually going through the days and days. If you go to the other side of INOKASHIRA LINE, it's totally different again.

- Scrambled or intersection you have a what kind of impression?

And stay Some people like a agoraphobia, but I have heard the story of becoming a stress by simply commute, crowd is more like when I say that either. Or rather the peace of mind that the person is present, indeed even to walk with the young people on the day of rest is often very, but there is also a feeling that a break, and say to the contrary, come here everyone in search of something on have to do something, it means peace of mind that "there are people who are trying to do something very hard", there is a feeling that can be shared. And it is very little to talk on a daily basis young people, perhaps hobby but I think the taste is also different, can share the time being and staying here. Than the sense of isolation felt by walking on the Shinbashi, it sounds good is welcoming towards here to me.

- I've gathered a lot of mini theater in Shibuya.

Because it is such era, only a large piece of the national public scale in the cinema complex is recognized as a movie, it is not the movie, very limited a place that can be screened. Among them, Shibuya, in addition to Euro Space's have been done long, It is also Mr. Cinequanon's and Image Forum, there is also a link-up's something. I think that it is very important that Aiu unique thing is fine. We, fiction nor documentary, also major work, also make minor works. Chance of transmitting that kind of thing is in Shibuya still. In that sense, I region has become very Daiaji.

- On the other hand, it also has an increasing number of small-scale works.

Film production of independent system is also, now, there are quite a lot. It also, as you know, for example, to the previous 16 mm Toka 35 mm Toka said the equipment was higher very threshold, did not take the movie in quite simple. But now, take a video of considerable quality in the consumer electronics store video. Also to be able to edit in your own computer. Is what was in the world that has been closed as a special skill until now, anyone in that was held in a location that can participate, 10 years ago, 20 years ago, I think that was completely changed and 30 years ago. Well considering the "what to do" as servants professional, can be thought of as a very tough times.

- That technology is opened, talent, or will lead to the fact that more easily born excellent work?

Certainly in general, Japan movie is said to have become very well compared to the previous. Just personally, who at the time movie of environment is poor have to feel like I had a lot of more hungry people. Also to our place is better referred to as "I want to the movie work," You come to see you a lot. But "I know roughly. So this is a little" Once you have a story that "I so tough" on or give up, no resolution is. When of us, was no What a decent job openings, was not only in a sense stick movie Nishigami. Of movie work, Of course, not must be a business, but I'm a business, there is also a place where not a still half business. If I can not share it, that is, when you do not have a firm reason that can overcome the fact that the "so tired or think to the do what" their own, it is a very difficult job. Young staff of about 20-something out also, with the only passion Tteyuu "anyway you want to make a movie work," you're doing while attached somehow Shigami. The servants, still I would like to cherish that feeling than the individual's ability.
