Tsukiji Social Education Center Tangana Jer, Kara-Fit

[Silver] August 24, 2011 08:30

 On August 20 (Saturday), I went to Tsukiji Social Education Center today.

What I was particularly looking forward to was "Let's hit African percussion instruments"-Savart in Senegal. 

 At 13:50 Slip-safe, when you enter the first floor of the percussion instrument performance venue, you will hear the passionate small drum Savart sound. Because it's too enthusiastic, the shutter won't catch up.

Taiko is similar to jumbe, but the name of the instrument seems to be different. The group's name is "Tangana Jer" Tangana Gel. He also showed me the enthusiastic African Dance. I've been taught about the performance when I hit it by hand. If you think it's 3 beats, hit one with your right hand and hit 2 beats 1, 2. Four beats on the left and right, this is a repetition, but it is weak when you hit the middle with your fingers aligned, and when you hit the edge of the drum with your left hand, you can play a strong sound when you open your fingers and hit it. Was.


 Next is Karaoke Exercise ~ Kara fit ~. Looking at Chuo FM's recording blog, I was inspired to participate by all means, so I went there. Click here for more information on how to borrow with permission. http://fm840.jp/blog/hello/2011/08/04/10089

This day is to dance to Melo Day, a karaoke song from the 70' and 80's, and this is very fun. The song I danced was Bohemian. And there were other songs, but I was so enthusiastic about dancing to the dancer's teacher, and I forgot the song. It is a natural movement of breathing and exhaling greatly, but it seems that cardiopulmonary function will increase, and it will be possible to regain agility with a long dance. I feel like I'm going to fall into the illusion of Johnny's Junior or storm. 



Even if you learn choreography, you can't remember it immediately, but teachers are always gentle and smiling.



 It is said, "Look at others' swings and shake me," but why don't you forget about others and dance happily? !


CIMG8954.jpgIt is said that karaoke exercises-Kara Fit-can be attended once at Tsukiji Social Education Center from 10:30 to 11:30 on October 4 and 5 at 500. Why don't you get back to your youth? Bohemian  note

In August Shimbashi Enbujo-Hanagata Kabuki-Kantaro's Four Roles Early Change

1. August 17, 2011 08:30

This year's second time since August Noryo Kabuki, which began 22 years ago at Kabukiza Theater, moved to theater and became Hanagata Kabuki, the three-part performance system remains unchanged, but a little lonely thing is that Kansaburo, who was driving the Noryo Kabuki. It is reported that the full-fledged return to the one-month performance from the Osaka Shinkabukiza performance in September, but I would like to see Kansaburo in Tokyo as soon as possible.


However, today, I went to the third part in order to look for Kantaro's "Kaidan breast Enoki", who has a high reputation for being the first role and changing the four roles early. In August alone, young people in yukata were also flirting. The seats are full up to the 3rd floor.


As you know, "Kaidan breast Enoki" is one of the three major human stories of Sanyutei Encho. In the past, the form of performing the three painters Shigenobu Hishikawa, Shosuke Shimoo, and tertiary Uwabami in an early stage has been established, but this time, Sanyutei Encho will be added to perform the four roles and the first role. You will see how Kantaro, who will be named Kankuro next year's sixth generation Kankuro, will play only in the role of his father Kansaburo. Oseki is Nananosuke, and Isogai Namie is Shido.


When the curtain opened and San Koyama, a teahouse woman, came out, he applauded. Applause again when you hear the phrase "You are young" or "How are you?" I was born in 1920! Kantaro, not only the voice but also the dialogue, has become exactly like Kansaburo for a moment. The quick change of the three roles is really smooth and speedy, and every time I applauded. I didn't know at all that Shosuke and Miyoshi, who were helped to kill Shigenobu at Tajima Bridge and fled, would be replaced by Shichizo Hanamichi. The turning around using this water at the waterfall pot at the corner of the cornerstone "Kakuzu 12sha Otaki no Place" is a great enthusiasm where splashes fly to us in the second row. Of course, "Kaburimono" is distributed in the front row, and this is the true "Kaburitsuki".


When I left the theater, the remnant heat of the day came in. It was three hours that made me completely forget the heat of the outside world. Applauded again for the enthusiasm that doesn't make Kansaburo feel absent.

                        Shaved ice is also available at B1's Cafe East.


Part 1 (starting at 11:00) "Oiran grass" "Oya no Nana" Part 2 (starting at 14:30) "Shinonome Karasu Koi imitation Koto" "Natsutama Festival"

Part 3 (starting at 18:00) "Yado no Tsuki" "Kaidan breast Enoki"


Some are the first part of Shichinosuke's first role, "The Seven of the Ogura", and the second part is a topical stage where Hashinosuke plays a new G2 work, and it is likely that he will visit theater every week.


Reservations can be made at Ticket Hon Shochiku 0570-000-489 (10:00 to 18:00).

Town Walking Tour and Industrial Course “Asahi Shimbun Tour”

[Vickie] August 5, 2011 20:22

Well, I'm a Vickie correspondent's first big job! I went to lead the town walk tour.

 

Entrance. Thumbnail image of jpg

This time, I visited "Asahi Shimbun Tokyo Head Office", a treasure trove of information on Chuo-ku. It is located in front of Tsukiji Market Station on the Toei Oedo Line.

We will rent a magnificent entrance and meet here!

 

 

 

 

 The sister of the Asahi Shimbun. jpgFirst of all, after watching the DVD in the hall on the 2nd floor, the sister of the Asahi Shimbun will tell you a valuable story.

 

A long time ago, when there was no communication means such as telephone, fax, and of course the Internet, "Densho pigeon" was really active. I was surprised at this!

 

At that time, hundreds of pigeons were bred in the pigeon hut on the roof of the company, and reporters take two or three pigeons to cover. And it seems that they put information on their necks and fly it.

Most pigeons seem to reach the company properly. Everyone was very surprised at this! The pigeons that I always see at shrines have the image of flocking to food (laughs).

 

From here, it was said that the photo was NG, but first toured the news bureau and organization bureau. Don't be late for the manuscript deadline ... so there is a clock no matter where you turn. It's full of clocks!

The printing factory was a masterpiece. The paper is printed at a speed of tens of thousands of copies per second. You can enjoy the coloring mechanism of the ink that your sister demonstrated in a separate room, as if you were watching science experiments.

The speed of movement of the belt conveyor in the last "shipping room" is also a must-see. The vinyl is quickly applied, packed according to the required number of copies in advance, and transported to the place where it is piled up on the 1st floor truck. The power of civilization

 

Commemorative photo. jpgBy the way, when I came back from the tour, such a wonderful souvenir was waiting!

 

It's a commemorative photo as if I had appeared on paper. By the way, one of today's real morning editions is printed on the back!

Everyone had a good smile on this ^^

 

 

 

 Due to the summer vacation, today's tour was attended by a wide range of people. In particular, Taiga-kun and Ryosuke-kun who participated alone without the attendance of parents. Both of them listened very enthusiastically to take notes and put them in digital cameras!

 

This course is scheduled to be held on September 5th (Monday).

In addition, various courses are available, so please refer to the section on "Recruitment of Town Walking Tour Participants" on the website.

We are looking forward to having a fun walk in Chuo-ku with you.

[illy-ship Sun Ichiro] August 5, 2011 08:30

This year, the 750th anniversary of Shinran Saints, Kyoto Nishi Honganji Temple is very crowded.

Nishi Honganji Temple and Chuo-ku have a big edge.

One is Tsukiji Honganji Temple.

The official name is Jodo Shinshu Honganji Temple Honganji Temple Tsukiji Betsuin, and it is a separate temple of Nishi Honganji Temple in Kyoto.

There are a lot of events this year.

Just until August 6 (Saturday), the Noryo Bon Dance Festival is also being held.


The other is karamon gate.

It is said that it was the source of the Kirin Brewery Mark, headquartered in Shinkawa, Chuo-ku.

Giraffe jpg

Why don't you go to Tsukiji Honganji this year, the 750th anniversary of Shinran Saints?

Also, at Nishi Honganji Temple in Kyoto, there are days when you can visit specially every month in the fall. You can see the national treasure Hiunkaku and Shoin, which are usually closed, so it is also recommended to see this Kirin.

 

 

 

From Nihonbashi stamp rally to Ginza

[Silver] August 4, 2011 08:30
