Monument of Sukiyabashi
As introduced in the first installment of this series, Sukiyabashi Park is located in Sukiyabashi Park.
"Kazuo Kikuta, here in Sukiyabashi,"
There is a "Monument of Sukiyabashi" written as "Monument of Sukiyabashi".
※ The image at the beginning is the whole picture of the stone monument.
Why such a monument is here is because it was Sukiyabashi that was the stage of Kazuo Kikuta's masterpiece, radio drama "Your Name".
First of all, I would like to consider Mr. Kazuo Kikuta.
Mr. Kazuo Kikuta ...
It was also depicted in the 2020 NHK serial TV novel "Ale".
"Ale" is a fiction modeled on composer Yuji Koseki.
Masataka Kubota played Yuichi Koyama.
As his work associate, Jiro Ikeda, a person who appeared as a playwright and director, this model was Kazuo Kikuta, who was the person.
Yukiya Kitamura (Yukiya Kitamura) played.
Kazuo Kikuta (1908-1973) was born in Yokohama.
At the age of five, he was adopted by the Kikuta family, but from there he was a turbulent life.
After that, while working, he went to the path of literary arts and became a playwright.
After the war, he teamed up with Yuji Koseki in radio dramas, movies, theaters, etc. to make a hit.
Among them is "Your name", which is famous for radio dramas and movies.
"What's your name?"
It was broadcast in 1952 as a radio drama by script, Kazuo Kikuta, and became very popular.
During the war, on May 24, 1945, on the night when a massive air raid in Tokyo, Michiko Ujiie (Machiko Ujiie) and Haruki Atomiya (Haruki).
After fleeing and fled, the place where they arrived was on the bridge of Sukiyabashi in Ginza.
So, six months later, on November 24, I promise to reunite on this bridge.
Haruki asks, "What is your name?", But Machiko doesn't answer. I don't know each other's names.
Six months later, they couldn't meet again. Haruki waited on the bridge, but Machiko couldn't go.
One year later, on November 24, I was able to meet and finally met.
But Machiko already has an engagement with another person ...
・・It's the ultimate passing, the extreme of frustration, and it's a very exciting drama.
The drama was then turned into a movie, with the first part in September 1953, the second part in December of the same year, and the third part in April 1954. (Machiko: Keiko Kishi, Haruki: Keiji Sada [Kiichi Nakai's father])
In addition, it has been converted into a TV drama four times in 1962, 1966, 1976, and 1991.
Here, I would like to explain in more detail the NHK serial TV novel "Your Name" from April 1991, in which Rosmari was involved.
NHK serial TV novel "Your name" is ...
It was broadcast from April 1, 1991 to April 4, 1992.
Of course, it's Kazuo Kikuta.
Machiko was played by Kyoka Suzuki and Haruki was Tetsuru Kurata.
Mr. Suzuki played the first heroine in this work, and has been attracting attention from here.
Kurata is the one who played the main character of Masked Rider BLACK, Taro Nanko.
An open set was produced in Noda City, Chiba Prefecture for about 100 million yen, and location was mainly performed there.
The image shows the scene of shooting scenes of burnt houses, January 13, 1991, the first episode.
When Machiko headed to his parents' home, the area was already burned by air raids.
"Dad, mother?" From the hill, I run to the person who had a house, but only the gatepost of my house that I remember is left.
I look around the gate, but I can't find anything.
Then people are walking along the road outside the gate.
When I ran up, it was a woman with a baby drinker.
He looked into the child, and Machiko asked the whereabouts of his parents.
But the woman didn't seem to be honest, and she didn't answer anything. ・・・
・・This is the shooting scene of such a scene.
However, most of these were cut without being used in the first episode broadcast on April 1, 1991.
The image above is also a shooting set that reproduces the area around Noda Open Set and Sukiyabashi.
You can see the white building in the back left, this is a set of Japanese theaters.
At the time of the opening, the windows were stained glass, and the floors and walls were marble.
The Japan Theater...
It was usually called "Nisama".
The image shows the current Sukiyabashi intersection.
The building with a pointed white triangular roof in the center is Sukiyabashi police box.
After that, 2 buildings on the left and 1 building on the right, Yurakucho Marion.
This was where the Niki drama was built, but even if it was rebuilt, it still remains.
Ni drama was opened in Yurakucho in 1934.
It was a large theater with more than 2,000 seats as a place to hold reviews and shows.
Later, the exclusive dance team "Nisama Dancing Team" was formed and danced here.
In addition, "Nisama Western Carnival" and others also gained popularity.
Unfortunately, the facilities were inevitably aging, and finally closed in 1981 for regional redevelopment, and in 1984, Yurakucho Marion (Yurakucho Center Building) "was built.
As the name suggests, it will be on the Yurakucho side of Chiyoda-ku, but it seems to have been one of the scenery seen from the bridge of Sukiyabashi since before the war.
