This time, we'll open a "bookstore without books" for one day only at the THINK venue!
For THINK (15th session), the first night features Hiroshi Eguchi. He is the representative of the select bookstore "UTRECHT/NOW IDeA" and also serves as a co-director for "THE TOKYO ART BOOK FAIR," Japan's premier large-scale art book fair.
He has also launched various new forms of bookstores, such as nomazon (a virtual bookstore stocking only items unavailable on Amazon), and "Koe" (a used bookstore where the category of bookshelves is determined by readers' impressions rather than the book's content).
We hope to hear about Mr. Eguchi's diverse activities using "books" and his future plans. Additionally, we will be opening a "bookstore without books" for one day only at the THINK venue. We look forward to your visit.

THINK_16: A Glimpse Behind the Scenes of Television
For THINK (16th session), the second night features scriptwriter Mitsuru Kuramoto. It's hard to imagine anyone who hasn't seen a program written by Ms. Kuramoto. She has been involved in numerous hit shows, including programs featuring Downtown ("Gokuraku" and "HEY! HEY! HEY!"), as well as "Itō-ke no Shokutaku," "Takeshi no Banbutsu Sōseiki," and "M-1 Grand Prix." Her work spans well over 100 programs. Her activities extend beyond scriptwriting; she has also released CDs and books as a musician and author.
This time, we will conduct an experimental, fictional planning meeting with Ms. Kuramoto. You may witness the moment new program ideas are born. Where do Ms. Kuramoto's boundless vocabulary and motivation stem from? You might catch a glimpse of the world beyond the television screen. We eagerly await your participation.
