【2018カウントダウン】渋谷スクランブル交差点に行ってみた【ほぼ外人】（I went to the Shibuya scramble intersection at 2018 countdown）

2018の平成最後のカウントダウンで暴れまくったみなさん、あけましておめでとうございます。

さてと、2018年の大晦日はひとりぼっちですよ。まぁそれはいいです。いや、よくないんですけど、まぁ、あーだこーだ言ったところでただちに変わることでもないんで・・・。
で、副業の方も午前中で切り上げて、部屋のベッドでいろいろやることを終えて、平成最後の年末カウントダウンさどうすんべ・・・。
なんて考えながらも、部屋でぼっちでカウントダウンだけは勘弁願いたい。しかし外は寒いし・・・、なんて事を考えてたら今日の日中に渋谷に行った時に街中に大量のバリケードが準備されていたのを思い出した。
そんで昨年の渋谷カウントダウン動画なんかをYouTubeとかネットで眺めてたんだけど、渋谷まで行くのは若干億劫だ。手っ取り早く近場の新宿の街中なんかでカウントダウンやってないかなぁと調べてみると、クラブみたいなハコ内のイベントしかやっていない模様だ。それはそれで行きたいんだが、ぼっちには向かないしねー。

年越しそばを食って締める

2018大晦日時間は２２：３０。
年越しなんで、まぁとりあえず蕎麦、ざるかせいろだ、それが正論。とか思いつつ、あったかい「わかめ蕎麦」を食らう。

実は、「なぜ蕎麦にラー油を入れるのか。」が最近非常に気になってて

なぜ蕎麦にラー油を入れるのか。

これを年越しそばで食って華々しく締めたかったんだが、もう２０：００の時点でシャッターがしまってるとか大晦日の蕎麦屋のくせに閉店早すぎるから・・。

そんなんで蕎麦ラーを遠巻きに眺めながら富士そばで妥協。

3分で食い終えて、時間を持て余しすぎてクソつまんないので、クソ寒い新宿の街を徘徊してみる。

２３：００前の新宿の模様

歌舞伎町シネシティ広場

旧コマ劇前ですね。新宿で何かやるならキャパ的にここかなぁというところですが・・・なにか起きそうな感じが全くしません。通常営業です。

アルタ前

交通規制とかすればここもアリなのかなぁと思ったけどアルタのスクリーンは電源切れてるし、いつもより人気は疎らだ・・。ここでも何も起きない…。
ここの喫煙所で一服しながら、つまんないし渋谷まで行ってみるか・・・となる。

気温4℃ですよ。コタツに入って紅白歌合戦見ながらうたた寝して小林幸子の衣装で眼が覚める気候ですよ。

相当な思いつきで渋谷スクランブル交差点を目指す

なんだかんだ言ってこういったイベント時に渋谷スクランブルに行くのは初めてなんだが、百聞は一見に如かず。現場に行くとまたニュースやらネットやらで見るのと違うと思い一度は行ってみたかった。もともと野次馬気質なのも手伝った。

渋谷に到着（２３：２０）

もうこの時点でハチ公前改札は閉鎖中ですと山手線の車内アナウンス。
まぁここまでは想定内、予習済み。てか、そもそも渋谷に来たはいいけど一番アガってそうなスクランブル交差点まで、この30分前で辿り着けるのかどうかわからなかった。正直辿り着ける自信はなかった。しかし現場の雰囲気だけでも感じれればいい。どうせぼっちで他にやる事ないしそれぐらいの軽い気持ちで行ってみた。

そんな中で、改札は中央改札が最短でそこから出場すると井の頭線方面、つまりはマークシティ方面に流される。ハチ公方面に出る階段や出口は全て封鎖されている状況。
とりあえずマークシティの南口側から階段を降りて地上に行く。（ハチ公側はもちろん封鎖中）

地上に降りても事情は一緒でスクランブル交差点に向かう方面は全て封鎖されている。井の頭線へ通ずる渡しの通路下の横断歩道はもちろんのこと、少しずれてエスパスのあたりも封鎖されている。付近は進みたい人とダメとみて引き返す逆流する人で入り乱れている。こりゃ109方面から回り込むしかないのか・・・とも思ったが、回り込んだところでこの人の多さじゃいくら一人行動と言えどもハチ公まではたどり着けないな・・・。

２４：００にスクランブル交差点に居るには3時間前入りして待つか、突破するかだ！

さてどうすんべと考えてバリケードを観察していると、時より封鎖している中でも人が出入りする瞬間がある。もうこれ使って突破するしかないと思った。しばらく様子を伺っていると事情はなんだか知らないが、バリケードが少しだけ開いて人が数人出入りする瞬間があったので、便乗して付いて行ったら、案外すんなり入れてしまった。

スクランブル交差点一帯は完全封鎖の安全地帯だった。

思った以上にすんなり封鎖エリア内に入れてしまったわけだが、封鎖エリアの中は驚くほど余裕があって、終わってみて気づいたんだけど、スクランブル交差点の一帯は駅周辺だけでなく全方向完全に封鎖されていた。つまりは封鎖後は、駅を出てから１０９側に回ろうが宮益坂に迂回しようが入り口など無く、突破しなければ中に入れなかったのだ。中は比較的余裕があったので30分前なのにQFRONT（キューフロント）のスクリーンがバッチリ見える場所まで難なく進めた。そして人の流れや動きが無いので安全が保たれていた。

ほとんどが外国人だった

周りを見渡して思ったんだが、大袈裟でもなんでもなく８〜９割が外国人で、外人だらけだった。ほんとSHIBUYAってどこの外国だよっていう感じだ。
まぁ年末年始に東京に旅行に来たら手っ取り早くカウントダウン盛り上がれるところとなれば渋谷ってなるんでしょう。
逆に日本式はコタツで紅白、美川憲一ですからね。
日本人はいるには居たけど、確かに田舎臭さの残る気合い入ってキメてきた若い男女が多かった感じですね。
客層は欧米系、中東系、アジア系と多国籍で老若男女。まぁニューヨークよりは寒くないよね・・・。いったことないけど。

破られるバリケード

みんな中に入りたいんですよ。スクランブル交差点で騒ぎたいんですよ。しかし、駅改札からいちばん近い間口のマークシティ通路の下の道路もこの通り完全封鎖と目隠しシートで仕上げられてます。

入るなと言われると入りたくなるのが人の性なんですね。
バリケードの外側がなんだか殺気立ってザワついてます。

人も水も同じで多いところに圧がかかります。
徐々に押し出されるバリケード

あぁもうダメだな決壊しそう

バリケードを破るとか、めちゃくちゃ興奮しますね。なんか知らないけど。

ついに決壊！！

スクランブル交差点、封鎖できませんっ！！

結構な勢いあったんで現場は騒然としてそれなりに怖かったんですが、まぁ思ったよりなだれ込んで来ませんでした。
動画の方がこういうの伝わるなぁ

外国人パワー侮れません。日本じゃあ無いですけど奴らは暴動とか普通でなんて事ないですからね。

2019 happy New Year

そしてまぁ綾瀬はるかちゃんがモニターに登場してカウントダウンです。

西武の方面にはなんだかperfumeっぽい3人組の映像が流れてます。
しかし、封鎖されているため近くに行きたかったけど動けません。
綾瀬はるかもいいけどPerfumeとカウントダウンも見たかった。
realsound.jp

西武方面側も封鎖

DJポリスって死語でしたっけ？てか、MCポリスですよね・・
電光掲示板も英語対応

そこら辺に捨てられるコーラのボトル
いやクソ寒くて飲む気がしないのはわかる。
まぁ日本式は、ホットな甘酒ですから・・・。

センター街、もちろんここの先も封鎖

まとめ

コカコーラ主体でしたけどCM色強かったですね。まぁお金出してるんで気持ちはわかるんですけど、ホットのジョージアやマックスコーヒーじゃダメなんですかね。あまりにも寒くてコーラ自体は季節柄相性が悪すぎっス。反面任天堂のスーパーマリオはスクリーンコンテンツとしては相性いいですね。
あとカウントダウンまで待ち時間はCM映像ひたすらリピート、カウントダウン後はもう30分しないうちに蛍の光流して、さっさと帰れモードでしたからね。案外アッサリしてたもんです。誰でもいいんでシークレットでメジャーどころ呼んでミニライブとかあると良かったんですが、そういうの見たかったら箱でカウントダウンライブ行けって話ですよね。
まぁ結果的には部屋やファミレスでテレビでもボーっと見て籠っているより、現場にきた方が面白かったですね。
画像より動画、動画より現場　ってことですね！
まぁ、ここまで外人さんが多いってことは驚きでした。
日本もとうとうここまで国際化の波が来たかって感じですね。渋谷の駅員さん、警察の人なんかは一部英語対応してますけど、これから東京オリンピックを控えて来年はもっとすごいことになりそうなので、半分以上英語対応しないと言うこと聞いてもらえないんじゃないですかね。
そんな感じでした。

今年もハッピーな一年になることを祈っております！

Hello! Project 20th Anniversary!! Hello! Project COUNTDOWN PARTY 2017 ~GOOD BYE & HELLO! ~ [Blu-ray]

以下あまりにも外人さんが多かったので英訳してみる

English translation

Happy New Year to everyone who got crazy at the end of the Heisei countdown in 2018.

Well, New Year 's Eve in 2018 is alone. Well that is nice. No, it's not good, but well, well, it is not a matter of immediate change as I said it.
And the side workers also rounded up in the morning, and finished doing various things in the bed in the room, the end of the year Heisei countdown countdown No matter what you did ...
Even though I thought about it, I just wanted to chew on countdown alone in the room. However, outside was cold .... When I thought about things, I remembered that when I went to Shibuya during today's day, a lot of barricades were prepared in town.
Then, I was watching the last Shibuya countdown video on YouTube and the net, but it is slightly bought to go to Shibuya. It seems that it is only when the events in the club like the club are done only when it is examined whether it is doing the countdown somewhere in the neighborhood of Shinjuku in the neighborhood quickly. I want to go with it, I do not want to go for it.

Eat the New Year 's soba and tighten it
2018 New Year's Eve hours are 22:30.
Because it's a year-end, Well, for the time being, buckwheat noodles, it is a legitimate opinion. While thinking, I will eat "wakame soba" warm.

Actually, "Why put rice oil in soba?" Has recently been very concerned

I wanted to eat this at Toshikoshi soba and I wanted to close it spectacularly, but since the shutter has already gone at 20:00, it is too early to close the shop because of the soba shop on New Year's Eve.

Such a compromise by Fuji soba while watching the soba rollers far away.

After finishing eating in 3 minutes, I have time to overdo it, so I'm bored, so I try to roam around the cold Shinjuku city.

Shinjuku pattern before 23:00
　 Kabuki-cho Town Square City Square

It is before the old comedy show. If I do something in Shinjuku, it is a place like Capacity, but ... I do not feel anything like it will happen at all. It is regular business.

Before Alta
I was wondering if there were ant regulations or the like, I thought that this is also ant, but Alta's screen is out of power, and popularity is sparse than usual. Nothing happens again here ....
While dressing at the smoking area here, I will go to Shibuya tomorrow and will be ....

The temperature is 4 ° C. It is a climate that wakes up in the costume of Kobayashi Sachiko as it snaps while watching the red and white singing fight entering the kotatsu.

Aim for a scrambled intersection in Shibuya with considerable thought
Although it is the first time for me to go to Shibuya scramble at the event like this, saying, what is it? I thought it was different from what I saw on the news and the net when going to the work place and wanted to go once. I also helped being originally Taiwanese.

Arrived in Shibuya (23: 20)
At this time the Hachiko public ticket gate is closed and the announcement inside the car in the Yamanote line.
Well, until this point, it is already in the supposition, it has been previewed. I thought that he came to Shibuya in the first place, but I did not know whether I could arrive 30 minutes before this scrambled intersection, which is the best aga. I was not confident of being honest. However, it can be felt only in the atmosphere of the site. Anyhow I do not do anything else and I tried it with such a light feeling.

In such circumstances, when the central ticket gate comes out from there at the shortest, the ticket gate is flown in the direction of Inokashira Line, that is, toward Mark City. The staircase and the exit to Hachiko are all blocked.
Take the stairs from the south exit side of Mark City for the time to go to the ground. (Of course Hachiko side is blocking)

Even if it gets off to the ground, all circumstances where the situation goes to the scrambled intersection are all blocked. Not to mention the pedestrian crossing under the passages leading to Inokashira line, of course a little off the block of Espace is blocked. The vicinity is confused by the person who wants to proceed and the person who flows back to look back as bad, and a person who flows backwards. I also thought that it could only loop around from the direction of 109, but even though it is a lot of this person who went around, it is hard to reach Hachiko though even one person action.

In order to stay at the scramble intersection at 24:00, we must wait three hours ago or break through!
Well what do you think of a trumpet and observe the barricade, there is a moment when a person goes in and out even though it is blocked from time. I thought that there is no choice but to break through this already. Although I do not know the circumstances when I was watching the situation for a while, since there was a moment when a barricade opened a bit and a few people entered and going out, when I took a piggyback and attached it was unexpectedly quickly put in.

The entire scrambled intersection was a completely blocked safe area.

Although it seems to have been put in the blockade area more than I thought, there was surprisingly enough room inside the blockade area and it was noticed when I finished it, but the area of ​​the scrambled intersection was blocked completely in all directions, not only around the station It was. In other words, after the blockade, no matter where you left the station, you could go to 109 side or around Miya Masuzaka, but there was no entrance, so you had to break through without having to break through. As there was relatively little room in the inside, it progressed without difficulty to the place where the screen of QFRONT (QUEEN FRONT) looked bad even though it was 30 minutes ago. And there was no flow or movement of people, so safety was kept.

Most were foreigners
I thought about the surroundings, but 8 to 90% of foreigners who were exaggerated were foreigners and all were foreigners. It is a foreign feeling that SHIBUYA is really foreign.
Well I guess it will be Shibuya if it comes to a place where the countdown will get excited quickly as I arrive in Tokyo on New Year's holidays.
Conversely Japanese style is kotatsu because it is red and white, Mikawa Kenichi.
Although I was in the presence of Japanese people, it is true that there were many young men and women who got caught up with the remnant of the country odor remaining.
The customer base is European, Middle Eastern, Asian and multinational and young and old. Well it is not colder than New York .... I have not said that.

Barricade to be broken
Everyone wants to enter inside. I want to make a noise at the scramble intersection. However, the road under the Mark City Passage closest to the front door from the station ticket gate is also completely closed with blanket and blindfolds.
[f: id: gjcc: 20190101043021j: image]

It is human nature that you want to enter if you are told not to enter.
The outer side of the barricade is somewhat calm and it is attached to the Zawas.

Pressure is applied to places where both people and water are the same.
Barricades gradually pushed out

Oh no, it's gonna crash

Finally broke! !

Scramble intersection, I can not block it! !

Because there was quite a lot of momentum, the scene was scared as it was so noisy, but I did not fall asleep rather than I thought.
The animation is transmitted like this

I can not look down on foreign power. It is not Japan, but they do not have any riots or ordinary things.

2019 happy New Year
And well, Haruya Haruka appears on the monitor and counts down.

In the direction of Seibu there is some perfume-like picture of three people flowing.
However, because it is blockaded, I wanted to go near but I could not move.
Ayase Haruka is good, but I also wanted to see Perfume and countdown.

Seibu side also towards Seibu

DJ Police was a dead language? Is not it MC police?
Electric bulletin board also supports English

A bottle of cola that is thrown away by side
I understand that it is unpleasant shit and I do not feel like drinking.
Well Japanese style is hot sweet sake ....

Center town, of course the end of here too blocked

Summary
It was mainly Coca - Cola, but CM color was strong. Well I understand the feeling because I am sending out money, is not it hot Georgia or Max coffee? It's too cold and the cola itself is too bad seasonal compatibility. On the other hand, Nintendo's Super Mario is compatible as a screen content, is not it?
After wait until the countdown CM image repeats all the time, after the countdown it was light mode of fireflies before I had already thirty minutes before it was a return mode. It was an unexpected assassination. It would have been nice if anyone could call me a major at a secret and have a mini live, but if I wanted to see that kind of thing it would be a case to count down live going to the box.
Well, in consequence it was more interesting for those who came to the scene than in the rooms or family-friendly TVs to see them barely.

Well, it was surprising that there were a lot of foreigners up to here.
It seems to me that the waves of internationalization have finally come to Japan. Station staff in Shibuya and some police officers are supporting English in English, but it seems that it will be more ambitious next year before the Tokyo Olympic Games so it will not be asked to say that it will not support English more than half I guess.
It was such feeling.

I hope this year will be a happy year!
