- I met the first in Shibuya the city, or is time around.

I joined the "nigger heaven" that Terayama Shuji had presided over in 1974, theater company has had through the daily Shibuya because there was along the Meiji street near the off-track betting field of tree-lined bridge at that time. Apartments "Matsukazesho" that's personal lived Terayama is, but you have apartment now stands, was a few steps away from the up-link (Udagawacho).

- Does Namikibashi around at the time, it was what I feel.

Before the troupe of the eye across the Meiji street, there was a Almond on the first floor of the now at Gallery Le Deco. I think there was a Tokyu Bunka Kaikan is in front of the station. After, Shibuya Palace seat movie theater was a one-story, It is now of Shibuya Shineparesu. Nigger heaven was to do a performance of "Journal of the Plague Year" in Epicurus of Sakuragaoka. Per under the Epicurus, there is a small event space, there at the time, I was doing something the independent film of Toka Yoshimitsu Morita. After, in Shibuya kana time Tteyuu there was Jiang Jiang Toka Seibu Theatre (now the Parco Theater). I went to buy good beer in the middle of the night because Yours Aoyama from the convenience store was the era there is no was super that love for 24 hours.

- Maybe it was Shibuya interesting one era.

Able to Parco Part 1 to 73 years, it is time that was named the street and Koen-dori. I think just before that is still Shibuya culture smell. It was a member was Hagiwara Sakumi san and Enomoto Ryoichi's our ceiling gallery reblogged or issues a "surprised House" in Parco then. The Seibu Theatre and Parco and seed Hall there was a rise of Seibu culture as a base. Since the 76-year ceiling gallery of tree-lined bridge was moved to Azabu Juban in the building of the rebuilding of the problem, it has left the Shibuya. Disbanded troupe is in 83 years, was established in Meguro the uplink in 1987. Then we moved to Shibuya Jinnan in around 92 years.

- It was what is the reason I moved to Shibuya from Meguro either.

And the office is narrower Meguro, because just bubble was after the collapse, how since has become an era of borrow offices in Shibuya in our economic strength down the rent. Ebisu, Daikanyama, and the breadth that it was looking for various places had hoped and Nakameguro, I moved to Shibuya because rent was also within the budget. It is in front of the Fire Street Hello Work, was a place called Yokoyama building. Was of the moved to the location of the now of Udagawacho is from 2004.

- Shinjuku Toka is from the beginning, I mean that was not in mind.

Again Shibuya, it will a little difference is something air and Shinjuku. At that time, because already the euro space and cinema rise that became the forerunner of the mini theater there was in Shibuya.

- In fact, you come connected in Shibuya of the city and Asai's area is what the form or.

Now, it's mini theater are concentrated in Shibuya. So, I think that we are also the benefits in order to operate a movie theater. It well cinemas each other it seems to wind Tteyuu are competing, in fact, I do not do that at all. Shibuya and Ginza, but perhaps there is a Shibuya and Shinjuku competition regional Tteyuu, I cinema with each other in the Shibuya, there is no necessity to compete. Even "The Dark Knight", not a competition of cinema each other Shibuya because screening of only one screen in Shibuya. Toka Shibuya itself is a movie theater, because it is one of the amusement park that there is an event space Toka attraction, the audience think I feel it 's come to play there.

- Mini Theater, do you think why was so integrated in Shibuya.

If we analyzed to see Kichitto the city, Shinjuku Kabukicho is, and say which way either to or was the town drink is Toka Toka tavern salaried worker, sex often. Shinjuku Nishiguchi is stood high-rise building, but it is not a town to walk. South entrance also, only some Toka Takashimaya, not very happily. Ginza has a higher rent stood a long-established and brand shops. Ikebukuro, there is a giant Seibu and Tobu department store, I do not feel the smell of too much culture also Sunshine Building. Shimokitazawa is but I'm fun, not a terminal station at the transit point. In, and we consider Kichitto many things, Shibuya is Maware walk, to there is also a small shop that is doing an individual, it is built also fashion building. Also in the process of elimination, I think aggressively reason was also integrated in Shibuya thinking there.

- Asai's itself, do you walk Shibuya the city well.

'Cause you have to walk all the time from here to there is the office. Because the ride is also on the bike, it has always round and round around. Now because home is Shinsen There is also a day does not go out from Shibuya. One-third of the month, might feel not out from Shibuya. The called "head office as" there is a link-up of up to Yoyogihachiman from Tokyu head office, none Harajuku, but some people say that back Shibuya, I want to liven up more this street. Or you can bookstore Shibuya publishing that are open until midnight in the vicinity, right beside the up-link is so can wine bar has been the construction work now. Because of you property just neighbors have changed in quite reversed, it would be nice if interesting.

- Activities of the up-link is I have very wide-ranging.

The concept is kana "back Bunkamura". Underground Bunkamura. The Bunkamura, and Orchard Hall, cinemas, galleries, envy and or contains a cafe, also Toka NADiff. If style is Bunkamura as one of the standard of cultural facilities, if there is Broadway in New York, so that there is Ofuofu Broad Way, uplink is the presence of Ofuofu. But, after all, Naa want space that can be more freely.

- It is going to Toka gallery, a lot of representation in theater Toka ... complex?

I will be kind of mix, are you interested in that complex. During this time, he told me the story of the Amazon if there is Ecuador environmental activist's Carlos lecture at Uplink Factory. State that a variety of organisms, such as the Amazon has been habitat, biological diversity is so say Speaking in English I "Biological Diversity". Where among its diverse plant Toka animals inhabit says that "Biological Hot Spot". To hear the words, Oh, I want to do is I thought that's cultural diversity. As it were, you want to link up to the "Cultural Hot Spot". Where is a variety of cultural events is always carried out, it is every day something interesting you come there. Also maybe the concept that made the Bunkamura in the first I think that's the same. Just not'm fine French cafe, I am, there is a cafe-restaurant, which is also eaten in the students a little more casual, you want to create galleries and of Alternative Art, or there is a space that can performance, a facility that or there is an event space . But it is unreasonable 's the power of the small and medium-sized companies that uplink. So, we, the will know-how in the soft surface, since the enthusiasm there is, I think in the future, be nice if me a time when we can do in partnership with the government and developers. It is, because really there is a limit that can be borrowed on the uplink.
