"Primary to the Holy Land"-The Holy Land is right next to you~

[Koedo Itabashi] December 8, 2016 14:00

A movie theater where you entered with a couple discount.

What I wanted to see was "Your name."

It's been a long time.

As the story goes on, she is holding tears with a handkerchief.

While feeling that sign, the pretty heroine Mitsuha overlapped with you and made me happy.

Shinjuku, Yoyogi, Shinanomachi, Yotsuya, Tokyo Station.

Look, isn't it a place that everyone knows?

He drew the scenery of the city so vividly.

Hida Takayama, Hidafurukawa.

I went here with my family too.

The depth of the mountains, the autumn leaves of the trees, and the glow of the night was beautiful.

Even after leaving the movie theater, the rhythm of RADWIMPS insertion song was running around.

 

The pilgrimage to the Holy Land, which was selected for the buzzword award, is far from its original religious implications.

He has changed to an action that places himself on the stage of the story, confirms the buzz of his heart, and re-recognizes his excitement.

 

Chuo-ku has been featured as a stage for television, movies, novels, etc.

I have a comic book that I have all the books since "Slumdank".

It is the "Lion in March" drawn by Chika Haumino.

How does the writer with a soft style of "Honey and Clover" express the world view of Pean and professional shogi players who are stuck?

I got the first volume from that interest, but I continued to read it.

Rei Kiriyama, a junior high school student who made a professional debut to the shogi world.

The area where he works is modeled is based on various places in Chuo-ku.

Let's leave Sendagaya, where the Shogi Kaikan is located, as a special case.

March-cho, where the Kawamoto family is located, is the neighborhood of Tsukishima and Tsukuda.

Is June-cho, where there is a zero apartment across Chuo-ohashi Bridge, Shinkawa?

Akari, the eldest daughter of the Kawamoto family, works in a bar in Ginza.

Various places in the ward effectively express the inside of the swaying characters.

The warm family of the Kawamoto family is on the red balustrade of Tsukuda Kobashi.

The waves of the Sumida River.

The groan of the Harp Bridge, which is blown by strong winds.

 

Anime has been broadcast on NHK General since October at 11:00 on Saturday.

(Isn't it the time for a good child to sleep in bed!)

In the first part in March 2017 and the second part in April, the screening of a live-action movie in which Ryunosuke Kamiki plays Rei Kiriyama has also been decided.

Well, the stage is ready.

Let's start a pilgrimage to the Holy Land of the Lion in March.

I will definitely meet new charms.

Kamejima River Sluice Gate

[Nojinya] Nov. 25, 2016 14:00

Large and long-lasting shaking at dawn (November 22). 。 。 It's been a big earthquake since a long time. Fortunately, there seems to be no direct human damage related to life and death so far, but it was a morning when I was reminded of Japan, a country with many disasters (earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons, etc.).

 

For Japan, where the number of foreign tourists is rapidly increasing, it is of course important to introduce content such as history and culture, but also to provide information on disaster preparedness and safety in Japan, especially earthquakes and typhoons. It is also important to give a sufficient explanation of the safety in Japan to inbound tourists who are unfamiliar with disasters, and to have them visit with peace of mind in the future.

 

It seems that the earthquake has subsided, so when I cross Minami Takahashi near my house for work, the sluice gate from the Kamejima River, which should normally open, to the Sumida River, is closed on a street such as the Nihonbashi Cruise. Is it prepared for the tsunami? (The Japan Meteorological Agency sent tsunami advisory to Uchibo and Izu Islands in Chiba Prefecture at 7:26 am.)Kame4.jpg

 

The Kamejima River Sluice Gate is a tide gate created to protect the Kamejima River basin from storm surge damage. The downtown area of Tokyo, which has developed by reclaiming the Hibiya cove since the Edo period, has long been a lot of storm surges and tsunamis. I've been suffering from flood damage. Chuo-ku is also located in areas with relatively low ground heights, and is no exception in this case.Kame2.jpg

For example, there is a story called "Tsunami" in Seicho Matsumoto's short story book "Mujukujinbetsu Book" (Bunshun Bunko), which was introduced in a blog post I wrote earlier (/archive / 2014/06/post-2075.html), but here, a tsunami depicts a people's footing in Ishikawajima during the Edo period. After the Meiji era, coastal areas such as the Sumida River in the eastern lowland of Tokyo became flooded areas such as floods and storm surges, and storm surge countermeasures were promoted after severe damage such as the Kitty Typhoon (1949) that hit the Kanto area. Will be

In particular, the storm surge of A.P. + 5.02m in the Nagoya area due to the typhoon in Ise Bay in 1960 (A.P. is "Arakawa Construction Standard Surface". It is determined at the lowest water level of water level station, Reigishi Island in Shinkawa. See the figure above. In the 1960s, the construction of seawalls, the so-called razor dike, began in Tokyo. The Kamejima River Sluice Gate was also completed in 1969 at this time. The gate of the sluice gate is 8.3m, which can prevent storm surges from entering the Kamejima River as well as seawalls. As a result of these measures, when Typhoon No. 20 hit in October 1979, a storm surge (A.P + 3.55m) exceeding the Kitty Typhoon was recorded, but the lives of the local residents were protected without breaching.

 

It was a Kamejima River sluice gate that I rarely see, but as in this case, when a tsunami or storm surge occurred due to an earthquake or typhoon, etc. and the water level of the river rises, the sluice was closed as soon as possible to prevent flooding and protect the safety of residents and visitors to Chuo-ku. .

Tsukiji Ohashi A Bridge to Nowhere

[HK] Nov. 10, 2016 14:00

The other day, when I was having a conversation with a foreigner in Japanese and English, I heard impressive words. 

Before opening, Tsukiji Ohashi was called "(currently) A Bridge to Nowhere". 

I thought foreigners wouldn't make interesting expressions. 

And I thought that this expression might be usable when explaining Tsukiji Ohashi to people coming to Japan from overseas in the future. 

Even if it is not open, Tsukiji Ohashi is already a tourist resource. 

 

 

When I was having Japanese/English conversation with non-Japanese person the other day, I heard something very unique. 

Regarding the Tsukiji Ohashi (bridge) which is not yet operated, this person called it "(currently) A Bridge to Nowhere". 

I found this expression very interesting and kept it in my mind so that if I ever have an opportunity to explain about the current bridge, this phrase could also be used. 

Tsukiji Ohashi (bridge) is already one of the sightseeing resource. 

Even things that are not on the track can sometimes be appreciated.

 

 

I've appeared on a radio program!

[De Niro] October 22, 2016 16:00

de-Niro_01.jpg

 Suddenly, there was an offer from Central FM to perform radio, and I was surprised (>_<)


 After all, the antakushi is the best correspondent


He's a shy person.


"Walling joke is Yoshiko-san," (← yet dead words?) I tried to refuse it.


 But! Now he is a governor of Tokyo, and from a correspondent general minister who was similar to a person who was former Defense Minister.


"No, Mr. Dennylo. Please be correspondent first! "I was forcibly persuaded.


 *Note) Supplement of Chuo-ku Tourism Association ↑ I do not say such a thing (Kno)


 It seems to be coverage of an article posted by Atakushi in August, but this entry deleted images of "Simpsons" and "Sazae-san" (Namihira) from the association, and the contents were also Kechocheon (← But dead words?) This is a nightmare article that has been fixed and dented at the bottom of disappointment (>_<).


 With PSTD (post-traumatic stress disorder), I moved away from my bra walk, and I was so shocked that I couldn't write a blog in September and I was withdrawn for a while.


 However, this article, which was rugged by Ms. Kno, caught the eye of the producer of Central FM and was a chance to appear on the stage of the defeat resurrection battle.


 In the show, Mr. Trump explained how the atakushi adopted the images of Simpson's and Sazae-san (Namihira) with "good feeling" and provided an effective and creative guide. Let's insist on Mr. Hillary.


 I decided so hard that I went to Chuo FM in Kyobashi Square.


 The beautiful woman who greeted me at the studio was an eye-catching beauty!


 Maybe in the middle of the mistake?


 She was the producer and DJ of the show, who caught her eye on the atakushi blog post. He's a genius.

 After all, the Atakushi was really shy to say modestly, so he was boh.


 The lines and scenarios that have been decided in my heart have been blown away.


 At the meeting before recording, I felt like a Nantoka Kan or something like a conversation was established, but when the microphone was set, the queue of the actual recording came out and the jingle was heard, the front was white, and the front was completely dark (>_<)


 The voice of the antakushi is aired all over the world  

*(↑ Note: Because it's only Chuo-ku)


 With that in mind, it's completely different pressure to announce to the tour customers by walking around Brass.


 I feel like I've squashed something that I don't know, but I don't remember anything.


 So, even if there is a problem statement, it is judged that the responsibility can not be questioned.


 Have you achieved the livenge?


 If you are worried, listen to Hello Radio City next Monday (24th)!


 Then, in an article like such a program announcement, it will be a valuable correspondent activity once a month, but was there any problem?
