If you think that this summer will end with the end of Koshien, the harsh summer heat will continue. The "Glass Mask" exhibition has begun. This is the "Suzue Miuchi Glass Mask" where fans have been waiting for since 49 volumes were published in 2012. Looking at the `` 40th anniversary of the serialization '', I remember that it has been so long and the time I was stuck in this drama manga over Maya Kitajima and Ayumi Himekawa's `` Red Tenjo '' as I am. The serialization started in 1976, with a cumulative circulation of over 50 million copies. Animation began with Nippon Television in 1984, followed by TV Tokyo and TV Asahi, followed by Tamasaburo and Ninagawa, and "Kotenjo", which will be played in the play, has become a new Noh. At the entrance of the exhibition, purple flowers with a tag written "From one fan" are displayed, making the fans "I'm going to do it easily" and "Nikori". The flowers given to each performance by the "Purple Rose People" who secretly support Kitajima Maya are written as "From one fan". At the venue, about 400 items such as original manga, creative notes, and costumes when staged are displayed, and the age group looks like a variety of female fans will enter. As I read it, I completely remembered the details I had forgotten. Mr. Miuchi, please draw the continuation as soon as possible.

Yesterday was 37.1 degrees, and today it feels somewhat cool, but 34 degrees. I came to the second part on the second day of the opening of the Noryo Kabuki in August. At first glance, it has already been sold out, indicating the popularity of Kabuki, which does not take the heat.

Last year, I went to Las Vegas on the Yaji Kita Jinmichi, but this year I returned to Kabukiza again. At the end of the introduction of the previous rough line by Shochiku movie, Yaji Kita appeared from behind the seats on the 3rd floor on the air ride. From behind the first floor seat, Ibei, a prop dressed as Kankuro, also appears, and the audience seats are drawn into the play at once. Fuminashi resumed part-time job with black coats, which had a shortage of labor, and continued failures. It's hard to get involved in the strange murder case that happened there. Saruya and Kamezo's concentric detective of Kintaro / Danko who helped last time, Nananosuke, inspector, Taro's wife at the seat of the middle car, Hayato, Minosuke, Shingo, Take Saburo, Takemoto's Daio Monnosuke and luxurious cast. Minosuke's frightened Shizuka Gozen of "Yoshitsune Senbonzakura" and "Shinokiri" in the play, and Tadanobu, who plays seriously, are very good and funny. The end of the game was also blown off by air ride. I'm looking forward to seeing where it will come out next time.

If you laugh this much on the stage full of playfulness that matches the breath of Yajirobei of Somegoro and Sarunosuke's Kitahachi combination, whose name is Somegoro's name is full of this year, the heat will go somewhere .

The other act is "Shuzenji Monogatari", the 37th anniversary of Kotaro Bando and the 13th anniversary of Yoshiya Bando, the son of Yajuro in kyogen, Yajuro, is Yasha King, Katsura is Sarunosuke, and Yoriya is Kankuro. .

Kabuki performances in August consisted of three parts. Some parts are "tattoo strange figurines", "tama rabbits", and "dango sales", and the three parts are "under the full bloom of Noda cherry blossom forest". The third part is the stage of promise that Hideki Noda was asked by Kansaburo to make Kabuki and could not be fulfilled before his birth. I can't wait for next week.

Senakiraku will be held on the 27th. 1st part 11:00 2nd part 14:15 3rd part 18:30 It starts

In January and February 2018, the "Koryoya Third-generation Instruction Performance" will be held at Kabukiza Theater, but prior to that, a commemorative exhibition began in Ginza Wako. Thirty-seven years ago, in October and November of 1981, the third generation of the first white parrot, the ninth generation Koshiro, and the seventh generation Somegoro were performed, so it was "the third generation name of the second generation parent descendant." Of course, it is the first time that the performance performance has the same role and has the same reputation. Inside the venue, stage photos of memories, items related to Chukei inherited from Danjuro of the ninth generation, Chukei when Koshiro of the current generation performed the thousandth Benkei, mirror stand of backstage, etc. are also displayed, and fans are irresistible. A performance was also announced. January is the daytime section "Kurubiki" "Terakoya" and "Kanjincho" at night. February is "Ichijo Daikura Tan" and night "Kumagaya Jinya" and "Nanatsudanme". I'm looking forward to it. Kintaro, who is named the eighth generation Somegoro, is a major role of Yoshitsune and Rikiya Oishi, and is the same as the role played by his father Somegoro 37 years ago. I was very impressed with the phrase "Infinite Wasabi no Michiage Hibari" displayed on Somegoro's backstage Kagamidai. It is said that it was given when my grandmother, Masako, was the first white parrot wife, Somegoro played "Renshi" with Koshiro in March 1985. I'm looking forward to next year.

"Koryoya 3rd Anniversary Commemorative Exhibition" will be held on the 6th floor of Wako until August 9th.

From ten thirty to nine p.m.

I came under the basement of Ginza Senbikiya, sometimes stopping by the fruit parlor on the second floor, but this is the first underground. There is a private room near the entrance, and there are 7-8 table seats. Don't hesitate to go to "Chilled Cappeli-ni of peach and prosciutal ham" and my friend "Genobese of shrimp and avocado". Salad, Vissisois, drinks are 1620 yen, and genobese is 1296 yen. The cold cappelini contains peach compotes, Tosa Konatsu jelly, and tomatoes, making it look cool.

When I found a slightly retro poster of "Fruit Punch", I found it depicted "Fruit Punch at the time of opening". Speaking of which, Ginza Senbikiya was the "Japan's first fruit parlor" founded in 1890 and "Japan's first fruit punch birth" (1923, 1923). I'd like this fruit punch for dessert. It seems that the long glass of the stem is also designed to resemble what I used at that time. It is said that the fruit used has not changed much from that time. Nearly 100 years ago, I thought that it was a very "high color" food.

Wako Anneck Stay Salon who came to invite you to "Shiratomo parfait has begun."

It's been a year since I lost last year. At present, most of the things are available throughout the year, and it has become difficult to feel the sense of the season in exchange for convenience, but the "season" items that can only be eaten at that time are exceptional. As for Wako's parfait, we introduced "Marron Parfait" and "Strawberry Parfait" before, but the third one is "White Momo Parfait". Limited time from July 20th to August 25th.

The "queen of parfait" offered on the table with the voice of "I've waited" is a beauty that is not ashamed of the name. The beautifully cut white peach is not too soft, not too hard, exquisite texture and elegant sweetness. Just below the compote, crisp granite, sorbet and vanilla ice cream, and cut white peaches at the bottom of the glass play a "tightening" role. This combination is amazing! Every time you get a parfait here, the taste of patissier! I'm glad to see you again. It's worth waiting for a year and makes you feel happy. I'll come back at least a month later.

Do you know "Nishio Restoration"? Since his debut in "Kubikiri Cycle", he has authored many books such as "Gigon Series", "(story) Series", and "Forget Detective Series", many anime, manga, dramaized works, and are also known for phenomenal handwriting. Is a writer. This is the first exhibition to commemorate the 15th anniversary of his debut. The title is "Daiji Exhibition", which is not a "Nishio Restoration Dictionary", and according to the pamphlet, "One of the largest books in Nishio Ishin History". Certainly, in the venue, which became the "expansive dictionary space" (this is also a catch phrase), the world of the work was introduced with the "index exhibition" from "a" to "wa". "Audio Guide" is a combination of popular characters of the work. I borrowed something from the "Gigon Series" combination. You can choose from 3 types. 700 yen) I knew the writer's name for the first time in a TV drama, but the venue for young people is full of enthusiastic audiences who stare at the print-filled exhibition. There were many shelves in the goods corner saying, "The sales have ended today," and I learned again that it was popular. (The next morning, when I passed in front of Matsuya at 8:30 before the store opened, about 30-40 young people sat and waited for the store to open. I was surprised to hear that I was waiting for the exhibition.

Next to the goods corner, "Sweets fair recommended by adult celebrities" is being held. This is an event of the serialization of the Asahi Shimbun evening edition, and there are many shops that are not always open in department stores, and it feels new. I was happy to find the shop I was interested in.

The "Nishio Restoration Daiji Exhibition" will be held on the 8th floor from 10:00 to 20:00 until August 7th until 17:00 on the last day of 20:00.

Admission fee 1,300 yen
