A large panel called "NO LIMITS that gives the courage to keep the voice of friends away" and a model of a competing player suddenly appeared at Tsukishima Station. Four years before the opening of the 2020 Tokyo Paralympic Games, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government launched an exhibition introducing the competition at the Oedo Line station on the 25th as "NO LIMITS SPECIAL Oedo Station Stadium". In Chuo-ku, goalballs are introduced here at Tsukishima Station. Many people may hear the name of Goalball for the first time, but it was devised as a rehabilitation program for disabled soldiers who were visually impaired in World War II, and became an official event since the 1976 Toronto Games and spread worldwide It was (From the goalball association's website) Reading the explanation, "Since all senses other than vision, such as the footsteps of the opponent and the feel of the line," I am somewhat excited. It is being held at 22 stations on the Oedo Line, shooting at Shiodome Station, canoeing at Kiyosumi Shirakawa Station and 22 official events in 2020, and stamp rally is also being held. The Rio Paralympic Games will also begin, so it is a timely project. The exhibition will be held until September 21st.

Watching TV, such as "Summer Koshien" and "Rio Olympics", where enthusiastic battles continue, is also heated. On August 9, when the city center recorded the highest temperature of this summer at 37.7 degrees Celsius, the curtain of August Noryo Kabuki opened. I came here right away. As you know, August is a three-part system. Today is from the popular part 2. Sold out in one day after the start of general release. That's because Sarunosuke and Somegoro will play Yaji Kita and ride on the air, so expectations are growing about what kind of Yaji Kita Michinaka will be.

 

Yaji-san and Kita-san, who do not work properly, travel to Ise-san, saying, "Everything wishes will come true," but their son Kintaro-kun and their nephew Danko-kun will play two young samurai with their companions. When the two people noticed, they noticed Las Vegas, when they looked at the voice of "Ah!" in the audience, a casino customer appeared from behind the seat. The actors who perform the show in unfamiliar flashy costumes seem to have fun. The manager of Shido's casino and the wealthy Arabs of Monnosuke also laughed loudly.

 

The last is a two-seater ride. Mr. Sarunosuke said, "This is the preparation of the air ride for three months," Somegoro is a large service that rotates three times forward, and the audience seats are boiling. "Tokaido Naka-Kurige" allows you to enjoy the taste of the production every time, but this time again, please take a look at the stage that has changed a bit and two tastes. Jukasha 19 may be saying, "Is this hand?" However, the second part is sold out ... the rest is Makumi. The other work in the second part is the folk dance "Red Gann". It is a gorgeous stage where Kakubei lions, fan selling, insect selling, etc. gathered in Asakusa appear one after another.

 

It is lonely that Kansaburo and Goro Mitsu who have been established since the summer Kabuki in August 1990, but it is lonely that the number of young people increases and the increasingly popular summer Kabuki, the outside heat Please see the hot stage that can not be defeated. The seats are air-conditioned. The third part, Tsuchigu, is the last stage in the name of Hashinosuke's Hashinosuke, who was decided to attack the eighth generation Shiban in October.

 

Part 1 "Kinyama Uba" "Gonzo and Suju" started at 11:00

Part 3 "Tsuchigu" and "Kyotoshi Yamanaya Urasato" started at 18:00

The second part starts at 14:45.

Chiakiraku will be available on the 28th, Ticket Hon Shochiku 0570-000-489 (10:00 to 18:00) for ticket inquiries.

As was talked about last year's comment on the governor of Tottori Prefecture saying "There is no Starbucks but there is a snubber" (it seems that there are two stores), "Staba", which has completely become the face of the city of Japan-Starbucks Coffee has entered Japan and celebrates its 20th anniversary on August 2nd today. Many of you may know the first store, but it is located behind Ginza Matsuya. I noticed before that there was a plate called "No. 1" next to the counter, and I was interacting with the staff members saying "It will be the 20th anniversary." "We also have special menus and events, so please come."

 

I was excited and came right away.

It's exciting from the subway concourse. "Scenery with Starbucks" photo exhibition, which became a gallery with walls. The scenery of the first store on the day of August 2!

I gave up on it. Goods such as commemorative mugs are also sold by Matsuya, so I decided to take a look at them.

Since Staba entered the market, new forms such as Seattle-based Thales and Excelcior Cafe have increased, and the cafe scenery in the city and the cafe culture have completely changed. I feel that it's not the only one who feels a little safe when I find Stava in my first overseas city. Because it is addicted to coffee, it often goes into specialty coffee shops and casual Stavas and tarries. It is also nice that coffee shops, which had been reduced temporarily by being pushed by coffee chains, are gradually increasing again with their own selling-points.

 

It has opened stores in all 47 prefectures by entering Tottori Prefecture, and it is said that there are currently 1178 stores. I'm looking forward to seeing what Starbucks, who has created a new style according to the lifestyle of urban residents, will show in the future. Congratulations 20th anniversary!
