“Magazines” have remained the mainstream of media throughout the Showa and Heisei eras. With the rise of the Internet in recent years, its presence has diminished, but much of the “contemporary information” from the Showa and Heisei eras can only be found in magazines, and today there is valuable information that cannot be found even when searching on the Internet. It can be said to be a treasure trove of “raw information from the time.”
“Oya Soichi Bunko” in Tokyo currently holds most of the magazines published in Japan for 149 years, making it a rare “magazine library” in the world. A program set in this rare library, based on the magazine left behind by Soichi Oya, who was famous as a journalist in the Showa era, will begin!
Various “topics” that Japanese people have seen and that have been covered by magazines. When I thoroughly looked through the magazines that were left behind, I found that
There is a lot of valuable information that you need to know now! By scooping up the “now Japan” that magazines have conveyed and that was left unwritten at that time, you may be able to uncover the roots and origins of what is currently popular!
Hiroshi Sekiguchi digs into his own experiences and memories as he approaches the “essence” of things with guests who know about those days.
Hiroshi Sekiguchi comment
“Oya Soichi Bunko” is a magazine library that is rare in the world. I’m starting this program because I want to reevaluate the value of Oya Bunko, which houses 149 years’ worth of magazines from 1875 during the Meiji era to the present in Reiwa.
The main character of this program is a magazine, and unlike books, there is a lot of valuable information that can only be found in magazines, which are often thrown away.It is a treasure trove where you can discover a lot of “raw information” that is not available on the Internet.
I would like to dig up such treasures and have fun with everyone. Program overview
