[rosemary sea] February 27, 2018 14:00

It's rosemary sea, which hits "Gift and Enjoy yourself" and covers it.

(C)2018 Movie "When the curtain of prayer comes down" Production Committee

 

Last time, I will tell you the continuation of the last time.

Junji Goto, Chief Manager of Equipment, Meijiza Stage Co., Ltd., guided us to the stage.

 

Where to adjust the light: Where you hit the dimming room or pin spot: I explained the pin room or center with a light. He also explained equipment for air rides.

Where the sound is emitted: In the explanation of the coordination room, they actually played "the sound of a motorcycle running away", "the sound of a train", and "the sound of a seaside turtle".

P2040340a.jpg

Explanation of the lifting curtain at the end of the flower path and flower path.

Flower paths are not found in foreign countries, unique to Japan. It seems that the main flower path that passes between the audience seats is only a commercial theater.

It seems that it can be installed and removed if necessary, and there was no flower path when filming the movie.

The part close to the stage is stored down with a single button, and chairs can be arranged on top of it to increase the number of seats.

"Seri" in the flower path is said to be "Suppon".

 

Well, the explanation of the main stage.

P2040271a.jpg

Right now, the linoleum is laid down.

Under the linoleum, there is a cypress floor. It's a Japanese cypress stage.

The "circumference stage" is included in a large round cut. It is said to be called "bon". It is about 14m in diameter.

We actually turned the customer 180 degrees with the tray on the tray.

There are 5 auctions, including large and small.

P2040280a.jpg

P2040288a.jpg

P2040290a.jpg

From the stage on the 3rd and 4th floors of the building to the 1st floor of the building, there seems to be a crack.

Every time the tray turned around and the auction rose and descended, the customer cheered.

 

Description of house set, explanation of set storage location.

Looking at the stage from the audience seats, the right is good, and the left is bad.

P2040292a.jpg

Matsubame (Matsubame). Matsubame because there is a picture of a pine on the wing plate.

It is used for performances such as Kabuki. Originally from Noh theater.

I actually got this done.

This is called "Obaku" and weighs about 150 to 200 kg.

It is operated by one human being by pulling a rope called Tsunamoto.

P2040293a.jpg

In Japanese theater, it is promised that "black cannot be seen."

This is why black cloth falls on the four corners of the stage, and the stage staff wears black.

The tool "Naguri" used by the prop staff.

A long time ago, I used to nail with a "naguri", but now, during the performance, I use a drill driver to minimize the noise of work.

It's evolving.

 

After the question corner, we interviewed Mr. Goto individually.

P2040335a.jpg

A lot of Meijiza were reflected in the movie.

I went to see it, but as soon as it started, the building of Meijiza was reflected in Bahn, so there was something very impressive.

The last scene was also good.

P2040339a.jpg

ーThe dark blue curtain hung at the entrance of a small room called Toya at the end of the flower path was Agemaku.

Yes. The lifting curtain is made to make a sound when you open it.

"Sharin! By opening it with a loud noise, the actors will appear now! This is a signal that customers pay attention to the lifting.

Depending on the production, it may be opened quietly without making a sound, so in practice before the performance, "Is there a Sharin?" Isn't it coincidence?

The crest of Meijiza and Yamato cherry blossoms are dyed on a dark blue fabric.

 

Thank you very much, Mr. Goto.

Tokyo Marathon Expo

[Nyan,] February 25, 2018 18:00

 I think that there are many people who are impressed by the fact that when they go home on an excursion and arrive at the dissolution place without any good time, the teacher told me, "It's an excursion until I go home!"

 

"It's an excursion until I go home!" If a championship to say something like that would be held, for me, I have to say, "The Tokyo Marathon starts from Expo!"

 

A full marathon is generally said to be 3 minutes faster when weight is reduced by 1 kilogram. It's not easy to practice to shorten the time of 3 minutes in a very busy day, but what I had gastroenteritis in early February and recovered in one day, but I couldn't eat that meal I lost 2.5 kg in just one day. (Criticism as to whether you eat too much in one meal is accepted.)

 

"Isn't this the best time? If this can be maintained, the marathon time will be reduced by about 7 minutes by desk calculation ... "

 

By the way, on the 23rd (Fri), I went to the Tokyo Marathon Expo for reception. In the morning of this day, the stomach is empty once at a medical checkup and the weight is reset, and the procedure is completed two days before the expo using a leave to go to the Expo. Then, the inside of the body becomes clean, and there is no need to accept and walk around for half a day on the day before it is crowded (Saturday 24th).

 

"Isn't it a perfect planing?"

 

At the Tokyo Marathon Expo, I have participated in wonderful marathon competitions all over the country, but it is completely exceptional. I think that the position as a preparatory exercise for the Tokyo Olympics has further enhanced the level of this Expo.

IMG_24022018_101916.jpg

(Emergency contact information registration, photo registration, installation of secure belts until the end of the tournament, etc. are strictly performed.)

IMG_24022018_101951.jpg
(At the Tokyo Marathon level, Satomi Ishihara will support you. Gold medalist Q Takahashi also appeared. By the way, the advertising brochure of the Okayama Marathon was handed directly by medalist Yuko Arimori, who also participated in the athletic meet in Chuo-ku. . Premium~)

 

 
The most important spot in the exhibition that can be said to be exactly colorful and hundreds of flowers Ryoran is ... Needless to say, the booth in Chuo-ku! (Chuo-ku Tourism Association)

Tourism Association. jpg(I was kind enough to take my picture, but it is subject to self-regulation due to the small appearance.

A nice smile instead

 

Many runners also visit Daikanonji Temple, where Idaten, which is fast-paced, but there are also goods from runners related to the Daikanonji Temple.
The towel here is the one with the Idaten, which is excellent. I'm using it now.

・Since there is plenty of length even when wrapped around the neck, it can also be used to prevent cold in winter.
・Because of its high water absorption, it can also be used for sweating (when professional sweating like me, ordinary quick-drying towels are too tight and quickly become tattery, but this towel is OK)
・If you wrap a towel around your head, your uncle's feeling will increase, but this cool pattern will be decided wonderfully ...

Tenugui. jpg

 

That's why the preparation at the Expo, which is also regarded as part of the race, is perfect. All you have to do is run firmly on the day. (The weight we have lost has increased by about 2 kilograms in one day. I have to eat the day before!

It's rosemary sea, which keeps on-doing "gifts and enjoy yourself".

P2040244a.jpg

Here is the Meijiza Backstage Tour 1 commemorating the release of the movie "When the curtain of prayer descends".

              (C)2018 Movie "When the curtain of prayer comes down" Production Committee

This time, I will tell you what I couldn't talk about last time.

 

It was Akika Kishi, Sales Development Division, Meijiza Marketing Department, Sales Development Division, guided us through the audience.

P2040262a.jpg P2040346b.jpg

I said last time, "Meijiza's shooting points in the theater for the movie" When the curtain of prayer descends ".

This time, I would like to talk about each of the seven points.

On the day of the tour, it was OK to shoot both on the audience and on the stage, so customers were taking a commemorative photo mainly at the shooting points.

 

 Shooting point NO. is in the order of Mr. Kishi's explanation, not in the order of appearance in movies.

 

P2040264a.jpg P2040295a.jpg

P2040297a.jpg P2040350a.jpg

〇 Shooting point NO.1     1st floor left aisle near 13 rows

Hiromi who reunited when Kyoichiro Kaga (Hiroshi Abe) came to Meijiza to see the stage "Ibunsonezaki Shinju" directed by director Hiromi Asai (Nanako Matsushima). This is a scene where Kyoichiro Kaga tweeted about "It's very beautiful."

It's a very impressive scene.

On the day of the movie shooting, it was a passage, but on February 4th, the day of the tour, this is a flower path.

As a tour, there was a life-size panel of Kyoichiro Kaga to clarify the shooting spots.

P2040306a.jpg P2040349b.jpg

〇 Shooting point NO.2     The second passage from the left on the first floor, near 7 and 8 rows

There was a scene where my old friend Michiko Oshitani (Hiroko Nakajima) visited the director Hiromi Asai.

It was the day before the first day of the stage, but this is the scene around here.

P2040305a.jpg P2040356b.jpg

〇 Shooting point NO.3     1st floor seats 3 rows 19

This is a key point in the story of the movie.

Your seat is seated.

P2040300a.jpg P2040351b.jpg

〇 Shooting point NO.4     20 rows on the first floor, in front of 5 doors in front of 17th floor

Senshuraku (Senshuraku: the last day of the stage performance), a scene where Kaga meets Hiromi in the audience.

P2040320a.jpg P2040326a.jpg

P2040330a.jpg P2040353a.jpg

〇 Shooting point NO.5     Auditor’s Office (behind the seats)

This small room was visited by Kaga and other casts, mainly by the director Hiromi.

The scene in this room comes out several times.

Please check it in the main part of the movie.

The auditor's room is a place for producers and directors of performances to check while watching the stage.

Since it is a room with a very narrow depth, Director Fukuzawa seems to have been thinking a lot about how to shoot.

The curtains are usually closed, but they were open in the shooting scene.

On the day of the tour, there was also a life-size panel of Kyoichiro Kaga.

P2040307a.jpg P2040352b.jpg

〇 Shooting point NO.6     2nd floor seats, 3 rows, 37

The seat where Michiko Oshitani sat on the first day of the stage.

I had the theater staff sit in my seat.

P2040304a.jpg P2040354a.jpg

〇 Shooting point NO.7     4 seats on the first floor, around 43rd side

On the first day of the performance, this is a spot where Hiromi took a look at the audience.

From here, you can see the inside of the seats well.

 

・・Mr. Kishi, thank you very much.

The story on the stage will be the next time.

[Higashinihombashi] Tandan noodles "Chinese Restaurant Torana (Hoshue)"

[Ino-chan] February 24, 2018 09:00

 

I went to "Nandan noodles with a line" in Higashinihombashi.

The name of the restaurant is Chinese restaurant Torana (Hoshue).

 

IMG_2241.JPG

 

In the proverb, write "Tra hole" of "Don't get into the tiger hole, don't get the tiger ko."

It seems that he reads fushue in Chinese pronunciation.

 

This is a modern Chinese restaurant based on Guangdong cuisine.

Dandan noodles, which are offered only during lunchtime, are popular with their reputation.

 

IMG_2233.JPG

 

In a modern store. There were a lot of female customers.

 

There are three types of lunch menu: dandan noodles, dandandan noodles without juice, and hemp noodles.

You can request the amount of spicy and pepper.

Topping onsen tamago or add jasmine rice if you like.

 

Let's have it right away.

 

IMG_2225.JPG

No soup noodle 820 yen
Coarsely ground meat and thick noodles with a presence.
It had a firm chewy texture and literally chewed spiciness and taste.

 

IMG_3209.JPG

Tandan noodles 820 yen
It's lighter than it looks and easy to eat.
It was hard to beat the noodles without juice, and it seemed to divide the popularity.

 

IMG_3203.JPG

Scent jasmine rice 100 yen (50 yen Komori)

It goes well with dandandan noodles. There were some people who were chasing.

 

IMG_2232 (1). JPG

Mini almond tofu 200 yen

It's mellow and fluffy. It's a delicious restaurant until dessert.

 

I'd like to make it another opportunity.

 

There is a line, but the rotation is good, sooner and the turn turns.

Unless you don't have much time, try to line up without giving up.

It is a recommended lunchtime shop for those who like dandan noodles to eat once.

It's kind to children! Delicious Fukushima Delhi from hamahouse♪

[Edamame] February 18, 2018 09:00

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.

When I invite my daughter Azuki (2 years and 8 months) to take a walk

It's every day when you can easily shake "I don't go!"


Finally, I was able to go to the neighborhood spot that I've been worried about all the time today.

This is a hamahouse where my senior correspondent also introduced me a little bit before.

/archive/2017/09/papier-tigre99pre-open.html

 

The first floor here is "Café & Bookstore".

DSC_2698-1.jpg

Very stylish and wonderful space! !

DSC_2697-1.jpg


Actually, "Is it okay to go to such a fashionable space with my child? ? I was worried about it.

But there was also a children's chair at the entrance.

DSC_2696-1.jpg

The lineup of books is also available.

DSC_2695-1.jpg

There were many things for children, along with business books for adults.

More than I imagined, this was a "friendly spot with children."

・・When I thought about it, I got along with my mom who got along at the children's house.

Surprisingly, it seems that there are many people taking out Delhi here for lunch with children.

And the limited-time menu is also wonderful.


A while ago, we had a tie-up with Hamacho marche held in late January.

You also offered a menu of tomatoes and vegetables from Kagome Company.

(It's located in Hamacho, the Tokyo headquarters of Kagome, famous for ketchup, etc. Actually.

Currently, limited time until Sunday, March 11

"Fuku House" means that Fukushima is delicious.

It is provided in the deli menu.

DSC_2703-1.jpg


That's why today's lunch menu.

It was crowded at lunchtime.

I decided to take out today and have lunch at home with my mom friend.

There are two main types of lunchtime.

DSC_2693-1.jpg

Daily lunch box menu, 720 yen.

This day is "Clear stream pork plum horned bento".

And the deliplate (can be taken home) is available

DSC_2694-1.jpg

Delhi is 850 yen for 3 kinds of choice + rice + salad from 8 kinds of 8 types.


I'm going to see a lot of things, but if you tell me that there are children

This is easy to eat, this may be hard to eat meat. I had a lot of advice, and so on.

I'm still worried about half-boiled eggs, so if you say ...

"Saury Po-yaki" with onsen tamago was put in without breaking eggs.

I was so happy that this fear was irresistible for the children.


That's right.

Selected by Edamame for this deli plate.

DSC_2700-1.jpg

"Saury Popo-yaki and onsen tamago" recommended by the shop.

(Fish well! The flavor of the miso was also good.

"White mapo tofu of scallop and cabbage,"

(Mapo tofu, but it's not spicy, light salty. It's easy for children to eat!

"Sweet of eye light, long carrot and green beans,"

(Mehikari is a fish. The crunchy feeling and yuzu flavor of carrots are delicious!)


Mama's friend

DSC_2701-1.jpg

"Anpo persimmon water dumplings"

(persimmon!? I thought it was, but the sweetness of persimmons surprisingly good with firm meat.)

"Shirakawa clear stream pork and long burdock curry"

"Saury Popo-yaki and onsen tamago,"

I thought that it would be almost possible for azuki to eat with only the deli plate.

I also bought a lunch box.

DSC_2702-1.jpg

There's also a delicate menu here little by little.

There may be a great deal.

Edamame was not chosen by the deli plate

"Long burdock and wild boar meat miso stew" was also included.

It was delicious without smell.

Of course, pork corn boiled is also the best.

There was also plum in it, and the refreshing feeling was added.


It was a very satisfying lunch.

There are a lot of cafe menus and sweets.

Even if you drag azuki (!?) I'd like to go again.
