profile

1945, Tokyo Suginami born. After graduating from college, entrepreneurship the travel agency "Europe-Japan Society" during their stay in Germany, Mainz. For the first time held the "German New Film Festival" in January 1977, to introduce Wenders and Fassbinder, et al. New German Cinema in Japan. 1982, opened a mini theater "euro space" in Shibuya Sakuragaoka-cho, a pioneering presence of the mini-theater boom. It moved in January 2006 to Maruyama-cho · KINOHAUS Bill (original · Q-AX building), reopened. Along with the film distribution, the box office at the center of the European Film are also working actively to filmmaking. Representative director of the Film School. November 2014, just opened a live hall "Euro Live".

Maruyama town if the off-Broadway, be an interesting area.

_ In the movie industry is waning interest in young people to decline, in turn, it has been open to "Euro Live". What is the opportunity?

Re-development plan of Shibuya is one of the motives that wanted to start a "Euro Live". Since the lights of Shibuya of history and culture should not and do not like does not disappear. Former companies such as Seibu, I think that does not come out anymore. There only major companies, because going to it only actively involved in the counter-culture can not 's company that has been opened to the public at least the stock. It is because personality of Tsutsumi's. After all, if the re-development, becomes absolutely orthodox. But, on the other hand if there is no orthodox ones, because why not anti-be born, would mean the combination is required. Not ideal that if there is an off-Broadway in the vicinity of the Cultural Village and Hikarie. Major Tokyu in that sense, on the other hand, to do my best as a minor is our. Maruyama-cho, has a unique history from ancient times, the area that alley culture is alive. In the past, there was also the temple Miyamasuzaka, now would have been absorbed in Aoyama. But it had originally said that Shibuya Even Cat Street, It had imperceptibly become a thing I Harajuku. Probably Ebisu Even east. I've been more and more Shibuya narrows. Still Shibuya're keeping concentrated in the the Maruyama-cho, and Sakuragaoka-cho, rest of the mansion district Shoto, would much Nanpeidai. It only is there is no choice.

As you place a counter-culture from _ Maruyama-cho?

Transfer Initially, I thought the tough in the management plane. But, I think because the story is full, including the hundred hotels stores here, here and squid not you become the most interesting region in Japan if the off-Broadway. Our minor theater, such as in the springboard, sometime Orchard, should you aim the Theatre Cocoon. If give me to hang out is those people here, I to would flourish a little also hundred hotels shop. Recently, but young people in Maruyamacho is or start a bar, if we rapidly spread Aiu of is, I think that here we remain Shibuya whiff. Since the time of the re-development come into question always be referred to as "What is the Shibuya likeness?", And do not fight what kind of time. It is useless to say anything in peacetime, it and still do not say in wartime.

Because I did another movie is enough, I want to do own way in the euro live.

_ Euro live, do you believe that trying to kind of theater?

We, I had the longing for a multi-purpose space, such as "Jianjian" originally. Even at the time you open a euro space, contemporary music of charisma, Yuji Takahashi's pianist, or me doing songs playing Erik Satie at the theater of Aki is 80 seats, etc. or have called the Iannis Xenakis's Greece, tall So it was severely come that do not fit in. I will be 70 years old next year, because I already movie is enough to do, I think that I want to do soon own way.

_ From the world of cinema and let's gradually withdrew?

Forever will not good for wandering around in the world of cinema. 'Cause I 70-year-old man found a new talent, it is bad. After all in their 30s, I think should find a human in their 40s. But there are graduates of the National University of Fine Arts and Music in the student, we are but can also be produced to make a business scheme, can not it 's interesting. Originally Toka same about of the year, in anticipation of the talented people on about at most 10 years of age, should be realized in its passion. If we would have made it, things will be different. So it "Saudadji" has made noise recently, it becomes a work of that hand to the usual movie Once we are doing. It is unlike the usual items of that movie, I because those sell without showing the contents. You will be able to browse Even this. But I movie, business to pay in advance 1,800 yen. Next also hit this time because it is starting from zero, it's a business can not be any accumulation. I have sold a Louis Vuitton today, that should not to be sold the UNIQLO from tomorrow, I'm kind of story.

_ But, than the confidence that "there is no doubt if the euro" in between you have finished?

It is a bit of marketing, but simply, there is nothing to it only dependable. In short, because branding is, because it is bluff. After doing just movie audience is really enters likely, it does not become a branding. Intently to the bluff, go to create the image. That said, speaking of whether the image is a customer Once you enter, not a so easy. Because sell what you do not know the contents, it's a very rough gambling. About horse racing can be seen in the quiet competition, the movie business is because not doing it in the tens of millions of units.

In _ that sense, the risk is little more of a live house than a movie theater?

In the case of movies, but I do not become a story to come at least 1 million people to say is a minor, but should I Umere the theater of the number of people you were live. It AKB of Akihabara might seem really, in terms of the attendance of the year, probably about one-fifth of the house. It is easy to calculate more of the live house.

"Euro Live" of capacity 180 seats.

Last throwback, to the admiration of the world was like when I was a child.

Looking at the euro _ live participants curator team, Ms. Seiko Ito, Toka Tomohiro Machiyama, Toka's after Thank You Tatsuo, I got together a luxurious members smell Stink of subculture.

Well, how tricks age to name. After all, I started the euro space, around the mid-30-year-old. Until now been continued for 32 years, is not that kind of co-workers told me gathered in nature around. I is I thought I would put out a figure from here in two, three years, it has already started in the country living in Yamanashi. So, the way that those people lie within easy inherits, where are making now. It is because we formed a program "curator system" with a variety of members, but it is clean representation, early story may be referred to as "Say hello after".

Do is to _ specifically going to do?

Because not the age to accompany another era, we eventually wanted to do their favorite storyteller Toka control. Storyteller is going to a concert in 5 consecutive days from the second Friday of every month. Thank You Tatsuo's is the curation, but by changing the way show for 5 days. For example, if you go to vaudeville, it's such about one person 15 minutes. It is because a place of education. But, certainly for 30 minutes in the euro live, do properly from the beginning of the story as "Shibuya rakugo" until the end. After said whole one of the storyteller is one seat and "alone storyteller", plays only a "pillow" of the previous storyteller "pillow King", Toka do only new story, I would like to try a variety of how to show.

_ More of Comte, how do?

Seiko Ito and Yoshi Kuramoto Tsuru-san, is the Motoko Obayashi is curator, every month, I'm going to do a variety of control as "Shibuya Control Center (CCC)". Now Comte, do not you ask about only do three minutes on television. So, here is giving one person 30 minutes of time, I think that trying to Shingin the comedians (Shingin). To begin with, Comte "conte" in French, it is in short'm word for skits and theater. Once it would have had the control writer of washer. For example, Toka or the story of the old days of "bliss trio" written by Hisashi Inoue .... Movies I do together that, do you coach not it will write a scenario. Then, I still do the range of interest is narrow. It's not good or bad. It easily puts writers resistance, resulting in the fact that every time the theme does not change anything. So to re-evaluate the "Shibuya Control Center" in the controller writer, it would be nice if we become a kind of gateway to success of the writer.

Than _ really movie, I was loved storyteller and control?

Toka well "What? Favorite movie is", I'm asked as "works that were affected?", To be honest, childhood is I liked better sympathizers and storyteller. Elementary school days, had packed went to was the Toyoko storyteller Association "Toyoko Hall" (formerly Tokyu Toyoko shop there was theater in West Building). Toyoko storyteller Board in the running of the "Hall storyteller", there is a very popular. Then it was not through to Shinjuku Suehiro, there is, or uncle of Kido-numbered me put for free .... In because storyteller Edo of the world, but not a Dankokorozashi, I had admired in the world of such chic and dashing. At that time, if there is a program I "amateur vaudeville" in Nippon Cultural Broadcasting, but I wanted very appearance. CD even if there is only learn in vaudeville because neither era video, I'm going to qualifying remember to hard, because not still properly taught, Toka or Yosen'ochi (laughs). In short, the world that has been dreamed in childhood, the last guess it rubbed like a throwback.
