Fifth interview : Advertisement/PR

Image
  Topic: Advertisement/PR Interviewer; Yutaro  Interviewee;  My grandparents, Yoshiaki (88 years old) and Takako (83 years old) from Japan At this time, I had an interview about advertisements. Comparing to America, our advertisement would be different. Still, there are some advertisements outside.  I think American people like to make some ads on the wall, but people in Japan use poster as an PR tool. Also, painting wall is a bit hard in Japan. That is because most buildings are made of woods.  I asked my grandparents what kinds of ads on the wall. They answered there are some posters about movie when they are young. 懐かしい昭和時代の映画ポスター展 - 東北の玄関　南会津　そこには感動が！いっぱい (goo.ne.jp) When it comes to indoor poster, they do not have own room. They do not have freedom to put poster in the house. Also, they do not have such a habit to put poster inside the house. Advertisement seems to affect a lot after they became older. There were some ads on newspapers in the past, but they have been colorful and

As they are delivered in these days, there is the same system of delivery services for newspapers.  My grandfather likes to read it about sumou which is one of Japanese traditional sports. That is similar to wrestling. Sumo, Japan's National Sport - Kipling & Clark (kiplingandclark.com) We have this sport from the past time, so it is one of the favorite and unchangeable sport for him.

I did interview to my grandparents about Movies and video. Then, I found some differences from nowadays. So, I will share it today.

In their town, there are movie theater. In the theater, it has concession stand, and my grandmother likes to buy soda. However, it is not as big as the one now. When it comes to my grandfather, his house is very close from the cinema. Thus, he often visits  there alone. Here  is the picture of the cinema below this sentence.

Around 30 or more people come to watch it and enjoy together. It was very fun as if it were a movie theater nowadays . " This is the first Japanese style to watch television, but domestic TV had been spread because of the development of technology. Ironically, this helps people lifestyle  change.

Interviewer; Yutaro Interviewee; My grandparents, Yoshiaki (88 years old) and Takako (83 years old) from Japan For the first time of the interview, I did ask them about a recording and radio. I did a variety of questions about recordings to them. Today, I am going to make a summary of them. Also, I appreciate them that they accept my interview very kindly. When I start having an interview, they were confused a little bit. This is because it's hard for them to remember everything that they use easily. Also, they had been growing up during WWⅡ, especially in their childhood. This would be one of the reasons that they could not remind all the information very easily. Recordings; "Do you have any favorite recording artist at that time? How do you listen to it? " Grandpa said "Haha, to be honest, I did not listen to music when I was a child. Also, we cannot afford to use my time for it because we are poor and busy for working hard to make some foods with our rice field.&q
