For The Uniqueness of Hamacho

taika

日本桥滨町位于东京都的中央区的，坐落于东京站的东部。

邻接水天宫，以及日本桥地域内人口最多的人形町，观光客或地方民众众多。

过去町内只有小型商店，在商业设施陆续开业后，便利性提升了不少。据说因为古时为海边，因此称为滨町。

由于近代都市化的影响，浜町逐渐被同质化。

虽然浜町中保留了许多历史的痕迹，但我们仍然很难想象这里曾经被河道包围。

It costs money just to live in these kind of area

Just a street of capitalism

We want to connect the history，present，

And future of the ham-cho in this project

Where is the hamacho？

滨町在哪里？

はまちょうはどこにある？

I think this place matches my imagination of Japan before I came here

It just looks the same as the scene we saw in movies. In here you can see the combination with historical and modern!

People in kimono and suits walking at together.Old theater and office buildings line together by the road

Although I only been here for a few times,but when I walking down the streetI feel like l blend in this community

Because it has so many diversity it selfit’s feels like l am not a outsider either

The historyculture,people here and the combination, you can see different sides of japan at the same time, although is not perfect I think you will enjoy it

Welcome to Hamacho

欢迎来到滨町

浜町へようこそ

私たちの街はどこにある？

Lyric

This album, produced as part of the Nihonbashi-Hamacho Lifestyle Project organized by Musashino Art University, documents the city of Nihonbashi-Hamacho, where two axes, globalization and locality, residents and tourists, collide and coexist.And, using the Hamacho River, a man-made river that once flowed through Hamacho, as a starting point, Hamacho's past, present, and future will be connected and reconstructed.

In 'For the Uniqueness of Hamacho,' the somewhat cold voice of the narrator is intertwined with percussion and acoustic guitar improvisations that evoke the bustling noise of tourist traffic.In 'Remaining River,' environmental sounds recorded in Hamacho, crusty guitars, and melodically resonant percussion accompany a voice that traces the history of the Hamacho River.
