自粛中継 / Self-Censored Live Broadcast 1988年9月、昭和天皇の吐血報道から翌年1月崩御までの4ヶ月間、日本国内の各TV局は徐々にCM、バラエティー番組等を自粛、深夜放送は病状の推移を皇居正門前二重橋の中継映像とともに放映した。この映像は当時の放送を模して制作されている。 At the end of 1988, after receiving the news of the Emperor Showa Hirohito's collapse in September until his death in January 1989, the Japanese network TV refrained from showing some advertisements and entertainment programs. During those four months the bridge in front of the main gate of the Emperors Palace in Tokyo was continuously broadcast at night together with announcements of the Emperors medical condition. The work mimics the same view from the live broadcast with " Day for night" the post production technique also known as " American night " Takuji Kogo + Keiichi Miyagawa |

ROUTE 189 also known as American Street. It's only about 400 meters long situated in front of the U.S Marine Corps Iwakuni Air Station at Iwakuni city Yamaguchi prefecture. U.S Marine Corps Iwakuni Air Station will soon be a largest U.S military base in the mainland in Japan. The current acreage is 575 ha. The area is expected to expand to 790 ha in the next few years. The Japanese government has been conducting a 160 billion yen land reclamation project for 215 ha since 1997. The local government has also subsidized many of the City's facilities such as roads and the new city hall. The economy in the city is largely sustained by these constructions. Each house near the base has been provided with soundproofing and air-conditioning for the noise pollution from military training. The base expanded through the Korean War to the Vietnam War and the red light district has been developing around the road ever since. In 1955, 2500 prostitutes for American soldiers called "Only" were working there. Many of the sex crimes by US marines have been taking place around this street. 11 murder cases by U.S soldiers since 1955 which include vicious crimes such as : a woman who was raped and murdered using a screwdriver and a hammer in her abdomen. Another abandoned dead body was found with breasts and genital organs cut. However compared to similar murder cases by U.S soldiers in Okinawa or South Korea, these particular crimes were never reported by the main media in Japan. |
