Is also a There is also entertainment office at the theater company presided over the "WAHAHA Honpo", he is 喰始 (Hajime Tanabe) 's as a broadcast writer and theater director. Initially put an office in Shibuya from, your own also Shibuya town of transition that's hanging out for a long time, also was to ask, such as thoughts and a small theater of the way to the Shibuya theater scene.

Shibuya image of "modern city."

- Shibuya encounter What about time?

Because it is time there was a love letter side street ... ~'m old and Shibuya (laughs). At the time, because I about had actually ghost-writing shop is .... I love Shibuya earlier that can Parco, I was the image of Shibuya is the most "Tokyo". I, but I had the illusion to Tokyo because it is born in Kagawa Prefecture, I did feel that Kitara actually moved to Tokyo, "I wish it country". However Shibuya only subway is or walked into the building, the image that there is a station I felt future Ppoku in the building. Shibuya is a modern city, it was the image of. Love letter to or there is a used bookstore of Books in the alley, I was longing really is in Shibuya at the time.

- Why it does was based in Shibuya?

The establishment of the Tokyo Disneyland in the open and WAHAHA Honpo of 1983 but I was the same year. When you create a WAHAHA Honpo, because poverty smell of it was unpleasant, was looking for along with the members want to have their own practice room, I found this place. There is also a high-class image in just to be close to the Shibuya and Aoyama, you, but I decided to here because they were large even space underground. I I wanted to have the feeling to be excited when you go to practice. And say "the office is in the Aoyama", I was good because the interest in obscure theater company. It is the largest that there around Shibuya. Everybody gave me longing (laughs). Temporarily if there is the office of NODA · MAP and the third stage in the vicinity, this area is also time the company there were many of the theatrical relationship.

- Or it will also be available Shibuya is well now?

It comes from hanging around the Shibuya about 1-2 hours when it comes to the office. Because I love the movie, and "TSUTAYA" and "HMV" "Mandarake" is It is a course of classic. I often eat the rice in the center city, but it is only the city center will remain without being modern. All is boring and become a beautiful whole. I think I culture occurs in a place that is not in place somewhere. It is towards the back of the NHK side will or been able to fashionable shops, but so is the Spanish Steps, has become something not even Tokorogako playful boutique. I think the spread way is interesting.

It is said that "young people of the city", are too conscious of the too young people

- Do you have to observe the young people who are in Shibuya?

Unfortunately, I do I do now, not facing the young people. "Young guys come down with" is the motto. Town even though it is the same, but I guess it is no longer good because adults were too fit. You should make an adult young people is something like to think "is to go over there." Or an avant-garde, because the will or was adults are creating what cutting-edge. Looking at the young people in Shibuya, I would think that "30's, or not than would go away from Shibuya Once you become the 40s." The would not think so, in fact, I might not be a good town. It is said that "Shibuya is young people of the city," but, I think I'm not trying too aware of the too young people. For the first time and came in more another generation or another culture, I feel like the city vary greatly.

- What are the things that do not have enough to Shibuya?

The really unfortunate is, or will it even if there is an event, not a general 's. Even in such as "Hands Award" of Tokyu Hands, but it is is not familiar to surprisingly ordinary come town's. The audience does not matter gone moving at only customer loyalty does not come about. In short, I think do there is nothing of the whole town. For example, even in the center city neighborhood, it is events such as the completely changed the atmosphere of the only town sometimes is necessary. I somewhere something like a street performance and street art that you would like doing now led. Once upon a time, if there is an event of some art, it was there that was all at once to fly tens of thousands of animals cabbage butterfly from the previous station of Shibuya. Shibuya town to become be a kind of fashionable. It is, I would be good in Shibuya there from a long time ago. I do not go with the adult is not raised to think more that kind of fashionable thing. But because the adults there is a place where difficult to walk the Shibuya of the city, you might want even if there are opportunities to "show a cool adult" in reverse. I do not 's Choi evil father, cool dad is gathered in Shibuya, you should young people to organize an event, such as come to see it. I also but is not center the city is a problem, do not enter the Parco (laughs). I because you would think past the 50-year-old as "a wonder if out of place."
