Just the other day, "Ponpoko" was broadcast on TV, and the Tama Center has become a hot topic.Both "Ponpoko" and "Whisper of the Heart" are wonderful works.Then, while looking at the topic of the Tama Center, I suddenly remembered Parthenon.From Showa to Heisei, at that time.For me, the memory of Parthenon Tama and dance music is clear.This time, I'm going to write it as I can think of it, just as it was.
パルテノン多摩が完成したのは1987年のこと Parthenon Tama was completed in 1987
Looking back, is it the first half of the Japanese economy that is about to reach its climax?It feels like I've just started climbing a hill.As with the economy, it was at the Tama Center that a spectacular view of the slope appeared.I remember clearly, but it looked shining anyway.That main street.Brand new pavement.The city itself looked like an amusement park.
It was a time when I knew the real Parthenon only by the image.I was impressed that it was amazing.Brand new whiteness and, above all, natural light.In the city planning of Tokyo, the rendering and the appearance after realization may be different, but most of the time, I feel that it is related to sunshine.This is because it creates dark, deep and wide shadows.However, Parthenon Tama is, for some reason, always in good sunlight.Well, maybe because the first image was too vivid.
「Kiss of Life」平成元年 "Kiss of Life" 1989
パルテノン多摩では、崎谷健次郎さんのコンサートを見ました。見た、というより体感ですね。コンサートホールでしたがディスコかライブハウスかというくらいの熱気で。アルバム「Kiss of Life」が発売された直後くらいかな。
崎谷健次郎「Kiss of Life」1989年4月リリース
崎谷健次郎さんの曲は「思いがけないSituation」や「もう一度夜を止めて」の印象が強かったので、「Kiss of Life」のダンス全開のスピード感は突き抜けた感じがしました。ハウスもクラブも、私にとっては崎谷健次郎さんの音楽が始まりかな。聴きまくったアルバムです。
なっつかしい。
At Parthenon Tama, I saw Kenjiro Sakiya's concert.It's more of a feeling than a look.It was a concert hall, but it was as hot as a disco or a live house.I think it was just after the album "Kiss of Life" was released.Kenjiro Sakiya "Kiss of Life" released in April 1989Kenjiro Sakiya's songs had a strong impression of "unexpected Situation" and "stop the night again", so I felt that the speed of the dance of "Kiss of Life" was pierced.For me, Kenjiro Sakiya's music started in both house and club.It's an album I've listened to.I miss you.
時の流れは一方通行ですが、また見てみたいなと思う景色のひとつ。それが、かつてのパルテノン多摩と崎谷健次郎さんの「Kiss of Life」のコンサート。 ふと、そんなことを思い出しました。
It's been 30 years since then.According to the news I hear, Parthenon Tama seems to be quite old.Moreover, it is serious.The image I saw on TV is a realistic figure of repairing a crack in a building with gum tape.There were discussions about repair work or rebuilding, but the final conclusion may not have been reached yet.For use after April 1, 2020, we will inform you as soon as the repair work implementation time is decided.The flow of time is one-way, but it is one of the scenery that I would like to see again.That is the concert of "Kiss of Life" by Parthenon Tama and Kenjiro Sakiya.Suddenly, I remembered that.
Friday Road Show `` Heisei Tanuki Battle Pompoko'' April 2019I thought I was watching it on TV several times, but what I saw and felt at this Friday Road Show was the depth of "Is it such a work?"There are some factors that you can understand because you are an adult, but the personal memory of the last 30 years may also have an effect.No, what does this mean anymore?I can't laugh innocently.It's very painful.Tanuki looks like a human.Well, it was masquerading as a human being.The place where you are dancing in the last scene.A place to run up.It looks like a completely different impression.I'm scared.
Although it is said to be artificial, it is an environment rich in nature. It's just a human point of view. When asked if it is an environment where raccoon dogs and foxes can live, that is. When asked if a rabbit can live.
by the way. There are many stories about pets running away and becoming wild.
A wild rabbit. Squirrel etc.
At the beginning of Heisei, what kind of future forecast map was being drawn while proceeding with city planning?
I feel that modern times are becoming more harmonious with nature than they were at that time.
Everyone knew that the population would eventually decrease, the number of children would decrease, and the number of vacant houses would increase. However, the imagination in your head and the reality you actually see are completely different. However, I feel that rush hour is more dangerous than it used to be. The more convenient it is and the more precise it is, the more dangerous it feels.
I don't think of it as the "thirty years lost." Rather, I feel that it was an era in the Showa era when we were slowly, slowly, and steadily tackling "problems that had to be changed and issues that had to be solved." In reality, the bad customs of the Showa era that I don't want to remember now and the fact that "it's insane from the present day, but common sense at that time" have been completely eliminated.
In that sense, I think that "the lost 30 years" can be interpreted as "the years that succeeded in eliminating the unreasonableness that we wanted to erase from the world." whatever. I'm not that kind of expert. To the last, I feel as a person who has spent days exhausted and sleeping. I think it's getting better.
Yes. I think it's getting better. It's just another challenge or a new problem coming up one after another. If you change the viewpoint around a certain point in time, the scenery will be completely different.
It was a confusing story, so I will summarize it.That feeling of "when I started climbing the slope".Ah.Looking back on Heisei, I felt like I was listening to music, singing at karaoke, and using a computer.Just having a computer and an internet environment is insanely wonderful!
