The event is planned by Chuo FM Co., Ltd., and the moderator is JUMI, who is familiar with radio MCs.

In the morning, Mika Tomita, Senior Researcher of National Film Archive, gave a lecture, and the content was the necessity and importance of digitizing old images and photographs, specifically appealing the urgency of digitalizing magnetic tapes.

This is an alarm bell called Magnetic “Project Magnetic” that says that while the recording medium of the video has progressed to “paper → film → magnetic tape → digital tool”, paper and film can be physically checked, and that images recorded on magnetic tapes cannot be directly confirmed, and if they are not converted into digital files by 2025, they will never be accessible and may be lost at once.

In March 2023, the end of this fiscal year, the supply and maintenance services of spare parts will be completely terminated.

He also said that the difficulty of digitalization and soaring costs are expected due to the decrease in experienced engineers and the deterioration of tape over time. It was necessary to manage it.

It is an era where many images and sounds can be easily used, but I felt that maintenance was necessary to record and use them in the future. In addition, I understand that doing so will lead to being used as an "asset", which is the theme of this event.

Companies and town councils talked about the provision of nostalgic photos and the memories associated with them.

After that, it was a cross talk with not only speakers but also those who attended the lecture.

There are many banks and insurance companies in Kyobashi, and the shops were closed at 3 o'clock, and it was less bustling than Ginza and Nihonbashi, and the image of a corporate city was higher, but the redevelopment such as Edgran came out.

It is important for the town council to cooperate with the local community and the company to make it a good city, and the relationship with the government is higher as the town council participates in the initiative than one company or individual It was said that it was.

There were many stories about the importance of festivals and events from both companies and town councils. Speaking of the festival, it is the Sanno Festival at Hie-jinja Shrine, and this time I also showed me a lot of photos related to the festival, but I felt that everyone was showing a good face.

Kyobashi is not only a rare place adjacent to Tokyo Station, Ginza, and Nihonbashi, but also a collection of art, which is a world-class killer content. It is very important that there is a place where companies and the town council can exchange opinions so that such "assets" of Kyobashi can proceed with the same thoughts, Chuo FM Co., Ltd., who created this opportunity, especially planning, composition, JUMI, who was very active with the moderator, thank you very much for your hard work.

On the second floor of the Brother Tokyo Showroom, which was the venue for this event, we were able to see an introduction that digitally prints nostalgic images. A variety of printing and embroidery equipment are displayed here.

The provided photos are read as data and printed on the fabric using special ink. This time, you can print directly on the tote bag or color. After printing, it is completed by fixing it so that it does not fade even if it is heated and washed. It was very fast and easy.

In addition, the first floor displays equipment mainly on Brother printers currently on sale.

Currently, reservations are required due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but please come and visit us.
