It's Central FM.

[kimitaku] July 27, 2012 08:30

 I visited Chuo FM, a broadcasting station in Chuo-ku.

 On a daily basis, our correspondents are also taking care of them on the radio broadcast.


The other day, after recording, when I asked the staff, he said that he had never been interviewed yet.

fm bill.jpgAt a later date, I took an appointment by e-mail and visited the broadcasting station.


The broadcasting station is located at the Daini Inoue Building under the Reigishi Bridge over Kame Shimakawa.

It's on the third floor.

This building is 80 years old and is as old as the Okuno Building in Ginza.

It tastes the scent of Showa.


・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・  

 Overview of Central FM 

 Station Call Radio City    Representative Director Kazuya Komatsu 

   Capital of ¥75 million was established in July 1996, May 31, 1998

   Frequency 84.0MHz Output 20w Call sign JOZZ3AX-FM  

   Radio waves are flowing from the roof of the power development building, and the reach range is Taitung Chiyoda Edogawa River. 

   And a part of Minato-ku. 

・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・     

Mr. Komatsu, the president, is a very young person who looks good in light clothing.


I had an interview. ・・・・

It was my first interview, and I was very nervous, and there was an atmosphere in the photo.  

I would like to see you and take a picture of me as soon as I would like to post an interview at FACE Book.

I did it.

 Komatsu says that he always makes use of FACE BOOK for his work. The reaction of the project, etc. was immediately received.

It will be very helpful because it will be reflected.


The stairs up to the third floor are steep, so when I talk about it ...

 The other day, a singer Nakajima went up the stairs, and immediately

    He said loudly, "I'm going to kill me ..."


 Two years ago, he was appointed president and came here by a local broadcasting station in Chiba.

Originally, I was in a major company and changed jobs to the broadcasting department.

 At first, he said that there was a lot of things that had to be reformed, and that he was finally on track.

That's right.

 It seems that there are three staff, several contract employees, and three announcers. 


  When I talk about my favorite morning music program ...

Most programs are organized by computer control and are broadcast smoothly all day long.

Yeah. It seems that the music program is left to the contract staff.


 What's the trouble of producing the program?

Since all people are moving, such as when broadcasting from the Tsukiji Outer Market, many staff are mobilized.

It's hard to notice.


 What are your future aspirations?

Currently, there are 260 local FM broadcasts, but 90% of them are not flexible due to management difficulties and the local community.

While trying to change logic, we aim to create programs that customers are listening to and think that they are really interesting.

I want to do it. He also wants to focus on J-STREAM.

 Mr. Komatsu also feels the atmosphere of the entire company.

We have filled the so-called "relaxing" feeling.

That's right.


 Mr. Tokumaru, the staff, goes to Mr. Endo, who is absent.

Thank you very much.

A rough question

 When the customer who is recording is "get sick"

How are you? ・・・・・・・

"I'm surprised, but very few." If you change the language, from the previous part

I'm going to record it again.


 

fm kimikazu.jpg

 When I'm doing this job, the most enjoyable thing ...

"I would like to hear the stories of many customers who come to the recording, and my world is doing so.

It's going to spread."

And he was talking with a smile.

 

 It seems that working hours are from 10 a.m. to 18 p.m. 

The interview ended peacefully and happily. Thank you very much.  

 

 

Hurry! Shaved ice of natural water from Nikko for a limited time

[Vickie] July 26, 2012 15:00

July 25 is "Day of Shaved Ice". It seems that it comes from the place where Natsugoori, a nickname for shaved ice, is spoken with 7,2,5!

Although it is a short period from today to July 31st (Tuesday), you can enjoy shaved ice of natural water from Nikko at Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store.

The place where natural ice made by human hands in winter is stored until the summer shipping time is called "ice room", and it is said that there were nearly 100 houses in the early Showa era. However, due to the improvement of technology, the demand for natural ice has been reduced, and it has been affected by global warming and the destruction of the natural environment, and now there are only one in Chichibu and Karuizawa and three in Nikko.

Thin sectional shaved ice that can only be made with block ice, which is called "horny ice" unique to natural ice, is a fluffy mouthfeel than it looks. It has a soft texture!

The recommendation of the shop is "Tochiotome Strawberry". Of course, the strawberry syrup of Meijiya, which I always eat, is also delicious, but this Tochiotome strawberry has a gentle taste like a jam. I see, it goes well with natural ice!

For a limited time, it is a store opening in one corner under the Depa, but please take this opportunity to try it. You may not be satisfied with "Garigari-kun" anymore (that's delicious, but laugh)!

Limited until July 31st (Tuesday).

This is "Tochiotome Strawberry" 840 yen.

 

 

 

A meeting to wash Nihonbashi, a famous bridge

[Kyuta] July 24, 2012 08:30

On July 22nd (Sun), a cleaning party was held to wash Nihonbashi, an event once a year.

In this event, as the name implies, everyone cleans Nihonbashi.

                DSC_0067.JPG                     

For the Nihonbashi fire brigade, which "discharges water" water for cleaning

The children flock.

 

Whether the purpose is to wash the bridge or to bathe ...

It was a chilly day that I couldn't imagine in July, but the children were very fine.

 

 

DSC_0069.JPG

The participants wanted to wash the "Japan Road Mark" and the center of the bridge where the plate was embedded was always full of people.

 

Participants bring their own deck brushes, one of them.  I found a prominent jumbo-sized deck brush!DSC_0064 - Copy. JPG

 

Its size is about 5 times larger than a regular deck brush (right photo, upper left)!

The owner of this brush, which reads, "Let's prevent furniture from falling, falling, and moving in preparation for an earthquake!" Was the Nihonbashi Fire Boys.

 

Finally, the Nihonbashi fire brigade discharged water on the signboard of "Nihonbashi" attached to the highway, and the road cleaning truck finished and washed the road surface, and the event ended successfully.

 

Please come to Nihonbashi, which has been polished shiny by the hands of local people.

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] July 20, 2012 08:30

Marcel Bachet "Portrait of Claude Debussy"

debu1.jpg



I only knew that Debussy was a French composer and impressionist, but this year was just the 150th anniversary of his birth, and an exhibition was held at the Bridgestone Museum of Art entitled "Between Debussy, Music and Art impressionist and Symbolism."happy01


This is a joint project with the Orsay Museum in Paris and the Orlangely Museum of Art.shine


deb3.JPG

 

As Debussy said, "I like painting as much as music," it was a very discoverable exhibition that clearly shows that he loved paintings (especially impressionist paintings and Japanese ukiyoe paintings), inspired by them and made songs.flair


Many paintings by famous painters such as Manet, Monet, Cezanne, Degas and Renoir are also on display.good


 

debu2.JPG



What was particularly interesting was the photograph taken at Debussy's house, with Katsushika Hokusai's "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji Kanagawa Offshore"down hanging on the wall behind him and Stravinsky.

The influence of Japonisme was also explained in a space.

This exhibition will be held until October 14th (Sun).happy01

Takashimaya Nihonbashi Store in MAKE-UP and shaved ice

1. July 19, 2012 08:30

I thought that the congestion of the tray had passed, so I went to Nihonbashi Takashimaya.
Oh! Mr. Takashimaya, which is undergoing renovation, has been transformed into a shopping bag. I remembered that I had received a stylish copy of DM saying "Speaking ..." "MAKE-UP is on the way until the end of this year."

100_0676.JPGIf you ask the guide at the entrance, the cover of this outer wall is one week ago. The current paper bag of Takashimaya is the work of illustrator Sharn Hashimoto, and the design has been completely established, so he said, "I tried this way this time." You can feel the room of a long-established store in a fun way to play. It is a venerable building that was designated as a heavy sentence for the first time as a department store building in 2009 (2009), so I am looking forward to the renewal next year.


I was a little stupid when I was going around here and there. When I looked into the place I wanted, "Yes," I said, "I was vacant!" It's a cafe of "Kanoshojuan". Just seasonal shaved ice has just begun, and a declaration of the end of the rainy season has been issued, and we immediately made it "heavy snow (matcha)" (840 yen). This shaved ice is also "There is also heavy snow (misle), and if you have matcha heavy snowfall, it takes half of condensed milk and matcha, and it is a combination of shiratama and large grains of plump Dainagon beans. Shaved ice is not a type that melts smoothly, but claims "fixed ice".

 

100_0673.JPGAmong the department stores that take a long time as you look around here and there are many such small rest areas. Your favorite resting place in the department store you go to. I'm looking forward to finding out where to go today.

In addition to "shaved ice", there is also "Matcha and famous confectionery Set" (735 yen), where you can enjoy delicious Japanese sweets from Mr.

When you leave the shop, it's a summer performance! A copy of "Hot place in Tokyo, where I left Takashimaya" was said to have become a hot topic when the Nihonbashi store fully equipped with air conditioning was completed in 1933. It's a name copy that can still be used today.
