Locality, book is a popular related also to Shibuya. Including the history books Ebisu newspaper that presided over the "COMMON EBISU", it has donated several books, one of which is this photo book "storage of Shibuya." In Photos of Shibuya-ku Board of Education editing issue, now, it has been published up to 1 to 4 volumes. It has become a make the Shibuya of photos of the old days and now can compare and contrast the left and right spread. Honestly, you will want to say looking at the old photos and "Is really this is Shibuya?" (Laughs). You will be surprised too much of transfiguration the first time. Since the time of high school students had come to play well in Harajuku, therefore, is surprise was also large. Almost like looking at the world that do not know at all, it is a photo album that is attacked by a strange feeling.

<Takamatsu's Recommended point of>
Yesterday, receiving your return, not seem to him attractive to the title, I have indulged in reading. For example, I have a Japanese called "Aioi (Aioi)," but, short love story which is derived from the word has been published. I do not well-known, has been featured a lot of words that has a beautiful sound. Personally, I thought "Sakeshu Lele (Sciascia Easy)" "Nan'nan (what what)" sound of the sound that the Do's nice. I've got a Also Japanese, that's nice I this word, and talking with a friend, I think that it is a book that communication is spread. Amount that can be read and crispy in about one hour is also a point.
