Tokyo metropolitan area town information magazine that is published in the subtitle of "metropolitan area stroll magazine for adults," "master of the walk." First issue since, consistently Yamaguchi's current editor-in-chief that is involved in the editing of the magazine is Ikejiri born. Yamaguchi, who had been out since I was a child in Shibuya in deep in, I heard the talk about Shibuya of charm.

Shibuya went well, one from childhood

- The relationship between the Yamaguchi-san and Shibuya?

It originally was born a Ikejiri. I grew up in Meguro. So how much downtown to go with "Chacha'", I still Shibuya. If there is only about Meguro station building when I was in Meguro .... From Meguro to Shibuya There was also the fact that the distance of the bicycle. Also to watch a movie, Shibuya after all there is a movie theater, such as "Pantheon". The 1980s, the topic of the movie when it comes to the Toka preceding screenings had quite matrix is ​​made, something the series certainly "Platoon" and "Indiana Jones" can also long matrix. So Tokyu Bunka Kaikan is, I'm a strong image of the matrix. When you go to the movies alone, watching a movie on the first floor or the first floor basement of the Cultural Center, look for a book on the fifth floor of Sanseido, I had been watching the star at the top of the planetarium. Elementary school, so was working parents I was a junior high school, passed 500 yen for lunch, go look at the stars in the planetarium came to Shibuya with the money, I did well because. There is also the fact that Tokyo grew up, I because now there is also a yearning to star of the perfect score. Also I saw the "Space Battleship Yamato" was at that time the boom, I think it was also cultural hall saw the "Galaxy Express 999".

I I had spent steeped in Shibuya --10 generations.

I agree. Shibuya is near, so I can go for myself, Shinjuku, where I go with my father, Ginza, where I go with my whole family. When I went to Ginza, my parents told me, "Don't wear jeans," (laughs). When I was in my late teens, I started to use various places in Shibuya and I would like to decide on a pose at a coffee shop (laughs). The jazz cafe "Shibuya Mary Jane" has been there since high school and I was reading a book here. When I opened the window, I got in Shibuya, and I could feel it if I read espresso while reading a book (laughs). The atmosphere of the shop does not change at all now. I wonder if I'm a high school student who drinks and reads espresso (laughs). I think that I was reading a book all the time here (Mary Jane) and I came after the exam on the day of the exam because I was free when I was a ronin. Even the famous music cafe "Lion" studied well. When I was a high school student, there was the first "International Film Festival", and I had a program that brought me to the Shibuya movie theater at midnight. Meet with your friends under the cylinder of 109, where and when, then go here and so on. In the morning, I went home after sleeping a round on YAMANOTE LINE . I left Meguro after I entered university, but I still came to Shibuya. When I was a university student, I was working part-time in the Golden Street of Shinjuku, but at that time I thought, “Shinjuku is a great place,” but Shibuya was less scary than that. It has been a while for a while to have been infested, but conversely, it was probably because it was not scared. I think Shibuya is "a town with a good heart."

Feel the fun in the "mess feeling" of Shibuya

- Shibuya and Is there a difference between the now of Shibuya and at the time?

Terrain of "mortar-like" of you well Shibuya says that funny, how recently the fun that such relief has become a little less. If possible, it is what is called 'Do not want to leave the "mess" of in a good way. The was interesting to a child it is, is when you have a parent with the shopping at Toyoko shop. And or is said to "Come to choose their own clothes the first" from the mother, I had to walk well with one person in the Toyoko store building, but, or has led to the fourth floor I thought that it is the second floor, South Building Metropolitan led a step is changed or suddenly the place is, is not it there is a strange feeling. Before going to the shop under the wait of the parents, and it takes a tremendous amount of time (laughs). In such a mess the building, I felt the fun of Shibuya. If a large building in the redevelopment of the other town is built as the "Bonn", just but there it only becomes conspicuous, but I Shibuya is not the case. When that could mark City, but I thought wow Do large building appeared, the building is gone blend into the city, there there was no feeling that people are concentrated "ow", funny Do not think year. Of course good sense. But recently, Shibuya because "jumbled feeling" has been reduced. It might just for a transitional period (between seasons) ....
