#BOOK

I would like you to read the timeline while comparing it with your own memories.

Celeina: Mr.Panth has brought his book “Nempyo・Subculture to Shakai no 50nen” to the studio. Here is the timeline at hand.

Takano: It is really interesting. It is very detailed.

Celeina: The design is very stylish, and it would look great in a room.

Panth: We have that in mind as well.

Takano: There are four different colors, so it’s easy to read.

Celeina:I was born in March 1996, so I’m reading it, and it even says the date that Denki Groove will release “ORANGE” on March 1st. I can read this forever.

Takano: I went to Mexico around 2014, so I’m reading this because I want to know what was happening in Japan at that time. It says that the consumption tax increased from 5% to 8% on April 1st.

Panth: That’s big thing.

Celeina: So when you came back, the sales tax had gone up 3%. That’s an important topic.

Panth:Yes, I think 2014 was a time when there were so many things like STAP cells that made a lot of headlines.

Takano: I’d love to read and talk about it over drinks.

Panth: There’s no end to it.

Takano: Do you have a favorite year, or a year that you think is noteworthy?

Panth: I have very fond memories of when I was an adolescent. I entered junior high school in 1997, so I can link this data with my memories of going to buy CDs on my way home from school. I think it’s a good thing that I can compare my own memories as I read the data.

Takano: It’s really interesting, isn’t it?

Celeina: This is on sale now, isn’t it?

Panth: It is on sale at the Hyakumannen Shobo’s website, but the stock is already very limited, so I hope you will get a copy.

Celeina:Please check it out for your listeners. “FIST BUMP” is a circle of friends connected through goo touch, so we ask people to introduce us to their friends, but what kind of people does Panth introduce to us?

Panth: Yes, someone who walks around Tokyo.

Takano: He seems to know a lot about Tokyo. What is your name?

Panth: His name is Mr. Hiroyuki Tanaka. He organizes rare food eating parties and does many other things, so he seems to be a Tokyo expert who moves around Tokyo.

Celeina: A Tokyo expert!

Panth: It’s hard to explain in one word.

Takano: I would like to hear a lot about him tomorrow. Tomorrow I will connect you to Mr. Hiroyuki Tanaka.

Celeina: “FIST BUMP”, today we welcome writer, DJ, and chronology enthusiast Panth. Thank you very much.
