Japan's first live streaming studio, DOMMUNE, opened in 2010 as a base for transmitting new culture with a view to the age of social streams after "Mixrooffice" by Naohiro Ukawa, which has become a global legend.
Since its launch, various guests from all over the world have appeared every time they come to Japan, and until now, about 4,000 programs, about 7,000 hours / 150 tera, over a total audience of over 100 million. He also influenced the London-based music channel "BOILER ROOM", and the Japanese branch office of "BOILER ROOM TOKYO" is also in charge of "DOMMUNE".
With the 10th anniversary of its opening as Chapter 2, we started the evolutionary form of the final media "DOMMUNE" in November 2020 at the creative studio of Shibuya PARCO 9F, with a view to the future together with the avant-garde technology.
Currently, "SUPER DOMMUNE" is closed to prevent the spread of COVID-19 infection, and we are exploring and disseminating what we can do every day for continuation and development so as not to end the culture while eliminating the risk of mass infection, such as live streaming without spectators.

In March, white snow overlaps with cherry blossoms.
The words spelled on SNS by Mahituza Piapo (GEZAN) warmed my heart.
"I want to do something, but I don't know what I can do, and I don't know how to use that power.
Such people will come up with ideas.
If you don't like my things, you may be another person. Instead of forcibly becoming one, they have a lot of correctness, and overcome this storm with solidarity based on the individual.
I will always have a cherry blossom viewing next year."

Is culture and art useful? Do you need it? Isn't it waste? I often see such discussions being actively exchanged on the Internet recently. Culture and art are useful because they have been saved by all kinds of music, literature, and movies in this isolation life, and have been saved many times before! I need it! It's not waste! I want to speak out. However, such a question itself is barren in the first place. The poor spirit, which can only be determined by whether things are useful or not, is not even aware of his own use. In the first place, what is it useful? Maybe you can nail when it freezes? Aside from jokes, the consciousness itself that must be useful for something is a curse, and culture and art are also beings that release them from that curse.
It is no exaggeration to say that the act of measuring the value of a person with its "usefulness" or giving a "priority" to a person is the denial of human dignity itself, and the act of protecting culture and art is the act of protecting human dignity. In the future, it will be a long and tough battle of how well you can keep yourself. However, as more than 300,000 signatures have shown, it is not alone. The rhinoceros continue to walk for a time like a festival of the dense soul cut out in this photo.

The world is now confused. In Japan, there has been a possibility of blockade in the Tokyo metropolitan area. Isn't it an important aspect from now on? And… Since Shibuya PARCO 9F Creative Studio DOMMUNE is a life-log daily media, the social situation itself is reflected in a tie-recto program, and even during Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, we streamed according to the trends of the world. Therefore, in such a situation, we take the spread of the infection in COVID-19 seriously, cancel the distribution from a very early stage or implement meaningful non-spectator distribution.
GEZAN's live in this photo was on January 29, when the floor was still full of heat, and the body was in close contact and freedom through sound. Considering the fact that the three secrets (closed, dense, and close) were forbidden to take measures against the COVID-19 infection, these vivid photographs are the feeling of looking at the primitive rituals of the electronic tribe. In addition, despite the scenery of PARCO 9F that I go to today, it feels like a distant remote area, and it feels mysterious nostalgia. Did the sense of solidarity that was born here on this day be scattered now? What kind of solidarity can we do now? Now that each government has been ordered to nest and entered the world meditation phase (not lost), how can we present the world vision after the post pandemic (postpan for short)?
I feel that the future depends on that positive imagination.
