An Interesting Future That Lies a Little Further Ahead - CHANGE TOMORROW = CHOMORO!

 ■An Interesting Future That Lies a Little Further Ahead - CHANGE TOMORROW = CHOMORO!

This is Ichiya Nakamura - a changer of tomorrow

An event where you can experience the future of pop culture and technology.

"An interesting future that lies a little further ahead - CHANGE TOMORROW".

In both Japanese and English, it is abbreviated as "CHOMORO".

The event was held in Smart City Takeshiba.

Takeshiba is a bay area directly connected to "Haneda Airport", and it is the gateway to the sea of Tokyo and the sky.

Under the theme of "Pop & Tech", a special zone has been formed where international businesses are concentrated.

The CiP Council, a community that connects content, media, IT, universities, municipalities, and the government, is the focal point, and it is bringing about innovation.

CHOMORO - "An interesting future that lies a little further ahead" - is an event where you can experience a part of this.

Various robots are already at work in the smart building in Takeshiba.

Welcome!

It is a city with many built-in sensors, and data that circles around and around. 

Technology that will change people's lifestyles was implemented in a 2021 era city for people to experience.

It was held during COVID-19, just before the Olympics, and it was a venture that focused on realism. 

Post COVID-19, I want to create a hybrid, new kind of rhythm.

"Workshop Collection", a creative event for children, was also held.

It was full of robot stuff.

During these difficult times, CHOMORO did not do any promotion, or try to get visitors to come.

Even so, a total of 20,000 people - 4,000 people in real life and 16,000 people online - enjoyed the event.

There is the Japan Expo in Paris, Ars Electronica in Linz, and SXSW in Austin, USA.

It is strange that Tokyo does not have such kind of events.

Let's bring together pop and tech to the Mecca that is Tokyo.

This is the starting point. 

Superhuman sports and e-Sports, where people and machines are one and the same.

A representation of Pop & Tech.

Just before the Olympics and Paralympics, new sports that break down the barrier between the Olympics and Paralympics were on display.

Let's make it happen!

"ZEKKI MANZAI" shows "CHOMORO" as seen by the comedy world.

The challenge is to introduce "Manzai" (comic dialogue) and comedy sketches with spectacular views of the Northern Lights, volcanoes, futuristic cities, grasslands, and cheerleaders on a wall-to-wall 4K screen in the background. 

Igo-Shogi, Magical Lovely, New York, Tamons, Kazuyuki Sakuma, Impossible, and Rice.

Ridiculous stuff~!

There was also a serious "CHOMORO".

Researchers from Keio Media Design KMD, RIKEN, Softbank, and others exhibited real examples of technology that will change tomorrow.

iU students' "Kowashite Tsukurou" (Break and Make) workshop. Let's break it, let's make it.

Faculty members are not to be outdone.

There was a press conference for the "B Lab," iU's research laboratory, and a unique lab for creating an interesting future together.

At the same time, an agreement was entered into with Ota Ward, where HANEDA INNOVATION CITY is located.

It will promote the concept of connecting Tokyo Bay with various vehicles on land, sea, and air.

Collaborative events with urban festivals in Sapporo, Kobe, and Fukuoka will also be held.

We will continue to connect.

We will develop it into an international event, by connecting it to Digital Day on October 10th and the Osaka World Expo in 2025.
