Does the real "gacha" dream of digital twin?

　Perhaps I am a secret fan of Capsule toy and blind boxes (boxed surprises).The "Victor History Miniature Collection" is a mini figure just released the other day, but it seems that it has become a hot topic in AV equipment because it was created under "manufacturer supervision".

　I spent my youth in the 1980s, and I used Victor's video deck until the head was worn out.At that time, it was an era when elementary school students knew that "the video is Victor" (I bought a model of the front loading after the tape from the top).This time, the collection is a model that cuts the fire of the world's No. 1 "HR -3300", released in 1976, and the famous "Beta V.S. VHS" war.

From the same visuals as the instructions included in the Victor History Miniature Collection.

　How did such a miniature that is so intriguing with Musumu will come out in the world?I decided to visit Kenelifant Co., Ltd., the publisher.The place is Sarugaku -cho, a curry store that I go to once a week and the nose of the nose and the nose.We had Mr. Tomoyo Morie, a public relations, and Kayoko Kamachi, the planning person, dealt with.What we are listening to together is the manga artist, Hakana -san (page top photo), who taught me this collection.

Regain what has been thrown away in exchange for marriage!

―― Thank you for your busy place today.Oh, this is it!

Morie (hereafter abbreviation) This is not a mass -produced sample, so it is not exactly the same as hand -painted or sold.

――I came to talk about Victor's collection, but onkyo and technics were first!Kobayashi, the editor -in -chief, was told by Onkiyo, "It's well done."

Thank you Morie.In the audio system, Onkiyo's collection was released on August 18, 2020 and Technics on December 04, 2020.In each case, we are making the manufacturer's supervision, but thanks to you, onkiyo's and technics are also very strong.

―― How much are you out?

It is Morie's 10 units.

-- amazing!After all, there are many people who could not buy it once.Of course, some people who have it want to be proud of "I miss this" or "I have this."

I would like to hear that Morie's marriage was disposed of at the timing of marriage.

――Ind I see, there are those that have been thrown away at the milestone of life.In the case of me, I disposed of air softguns used in survival games.By the way, what is the scale?

Morie: We haven't developed it on a scale, but when we become a miniature, it's very small and cute.It is made as a whole.

―― It's just like entering a box as a package.

Morie That's right.

　There is certainly to dispose of what you used during your bachelor's age when you get married.At that time, she doesn't feel much because she is positive, but she is in a gap in her heart that she notices or not.It's a bit fun to come back from this.Here, Mr. Kamachi, who was in charge of the project where the previous meeting was growing, appeared.

VideoMovie (GR-C1) It looks like a real thing even if this is up.

A battery is attached to the back of the main unit, and a tape is included.

I was born as a result of the revision of the prize display law that I could not do business up to that point.

――What kind of company is Kenelifant, a company that released this?

It is a company that is a company that has a Kamachi miniature figure and capsule toy, but it was originally a company that made novelties.

――It's like a company or a company will give it out at a miniature.

Gamachi: That's right.I was doing sticky figures for PET bottles.However, there was an amendment of the Premium Display Law, and it had to be visible in the contents, and companies stopped doing it.

――The law that determines the rules of products and prizes has changed.

Gamachi Yeah, so we decided to put what we were doing as a solid figure in a capsule and sell it.In terms of time, it was around the Lehman shock.

――Isn't it a little 10 years ago?

As a Capsertoi company, we are still new manufacturers.However, even when I was making solid novelty, I was actually reproducing a certain drink and making local buildings, so a new Capsertoi series that makes real things realistically miniature.You could do it.

――That's a real real route has begun.

Stereo double cassetter BOOM.Speaking of Victor, there was also a trademark of "Lattekase" (a composite product of Radio, TV and Cassette Recorder).

cassette tape.Be careful as it is less than one gram that is thought to blow away with a nose breath.

From local souvenirs to corporate products, such as "Sakiyoken Shimai Bento"

――What was the first thing you made?

The first shot of Kamachi Gacha Gacha is Capsertoi limited to Chitose Airport in Hokkaido, which was released in January 2012.Hatsune Miku was in the lineup.

――Is it snow Miku?

Gamachi: That's right.The rest are Hokkaido's specialty, crabs, clock tables, and radio tower.

――Is it a big capsule?

Capsule of 73 mm in Kamachi.Probably the biggest guy.

――Is there a big thing in a Tokyo building, right?

Gamachi: That's our company.There is also a souvenir of Osaka figure.

――Is there a way of calling a miniature figure in that reality?

Kamachi is now called "real system".

――Is there any other, real?

Kamachi "Interesting system" or "surreal".We often say that it is real because we want to put something real.

―― Speaking of real, the prototype is Kaiyodo?

For the Gamachi Fugure souvenir, I asked Mr. Kaiyodo for the prototype.In such a local souvenir, for example, a company's product, such as "Sakiyoken Shimai Bento", came in.That means that we can do corporate products at our company.

　According to a later confirmation, Kenelifant has created a figure of about 50 to 60 series in the past year.Even now, a new product of about 4 series is released a month.The office is full of fun things like turning a toy box over, but the shelves with capsule toy were very nice.

As for audio, let's make an old one that everyone was "longing for"

――What did you decide to do electronics, audio and AV equipment?

Kamachi Koyo is the first.If you were about our representative (Kenzo Ishiyama = 58 years old), you longed for a high -end audio home.However, when talking to a company with audio equipment, it is a must for the latest products.Rather, why don't you make what you once longed for?I sometimes talk about that.

――I was really longing.The sound of "Techniques" or TV commercials echoes in your head.

Gamachi Technics also attacked us.

――Is it a product of the 80's?

Gamachi Technics is not only the 80's.There are also the latest ones.Because there are fans of each era.In addition, there was a mixer when it was lined up, and I made headphones and made DJ play.

From ONKYO Audio Miniature Collection

Technics miniature collections were compiled mainly on turntables

Many people ran through Victor's VHS in the 1980s

――How did Victor this time?

Kamachi Victor had a friendly employee in the company, and Victor told me, "Can you do it?"

――How, it was the starting point of the manufacturer.That's good.

I saw Kamachi Yes, Onkiyo, and Technics.However, Victor's intention was to make something like a very old phonograph.

――It is also the mark of the phonographs and the nipper -kun.

Gamachi: However, when it comes to a phonograph, there is a phonograph capsertoi from another manufacturer.It is not a formal product of the manufacturer.If you have a “relief”, Victor will think “this”, and you will not be involved with Technics and Onkyo.As a Victor, this is an absolute "face" product.After all, it's a video.

―― Because the video is Victor!

Gamachi: This is the case.It appeared in the movie "Back to the Future".It is a video camera.

――I see.

If you think about it as a journal, there was a red one in Showa's TV, this double cassette, or at my parents' house.

―― Speaking of Victor, there was a complete spherical TV.

Gamachi Yeah.However, when the spherical TV is made into a miniature, it looks like a small helmet, and it may be difficult to understand the TV, so it became this TV (C-14RX).

――In that sense, this has been well organized.

　A friend bought a video deck to record the dissolution of the candidate in 1978.I was surprised, "I'm going to buy such a video deck!", But a few years later, everyone wanted it.It's no wonder that the 1980s are a video era.A completely spherical TV (Furifuri Q 9T-11) is a product that still appears when searching for "Space Age (Space Age)" at an overseas auction.It is an image of the era a little earlier than the video.

VHS Video Cassetator (HR -3300).This also has a VHS tape

The print on the back also looks almost real sockli.

――The development story of video decks is so famous.The magnetic head at that time cannot be very hot.The rotating head was solved by running the tape further diagonally.The binaural headphones and the dummy head on the microphone side are also historic products.

Gamachi That's right.

――By the way, how can supervision do you do?

We will output 3D modeling with a 3D printer on a Kamachi PC and show the colored one.

Binaural headphone & microphone (HM -200) and dummy head.It can be said to be a 3D experience of the sound, and I own the tape of Daijiro Moroboshi's "Saiyuyou -Shaden".

Miniature figures become branding tools!

　After this, Kenelifant's products, including the "Yoshinoya Miniature Collection" released in late September as the Victor's historical collection, and the "Miniature Collection" by the same person as Victor, appeared on the table one after another.The Yoshinoya is almost in the store, such as beef bowl and salmon set meal for those who are taking care of them.

――It is to be caught with this red ginger (Yoshinoya)!

Morie: I'll put it on this gyudon.

――You can also make the visuals of this bundled manual.The letters and designs are in the 1980s.

I think that it will come to a pin just by saying Morie Victor, but sometimes I hear that some people are not worried about the manufacturer's name and buy it.

――You are getting more and more.

Morie: However, with such a capsule toy, a stranger will get to know the manufacturer brand.We are coming to say that we can do another branding.Every day, we receive inquiries by e -mail or by phone.

―― What a every day!

A place where you are grabbing the ginger of the Yoshinoya miniature collection.I feel like Ogawa -cho (personal experience) at midnight.

After all, I want you to make a computer figure in ASCII

Gamachi Technics came with various fans and looked really finely.

――The screen of this looks like a TV program is reflected.

Because it is a kamachi, the screen comes with it if you cut the screen in the instructions of this paper.

――I also have Victor's dog (Nippers)!I feel that this collection is now complete."Provided VICTOR" is also good.

Gamachi That's right.

――But I personally want to make the “Eleven PM” “Payapaya” screen.By the way, what are the materials of this figure?

Gamachi all plastic.PVC, ABS, and so on.

――At painting the color, you mentioned that the sample was applied by hand, but in mass production?

The mass production of kamaguchi is like a stamp like a tampo printing, and then sprayed it and painted it.

――After all, is mass production in China?

Gamachi That's right.

　Here, I suggested from the author to create figures for personal computers and digital devices.There are some opinions that computers are more difficult because some users are more maniac than audio equipment.However, in some cases, Hull Research Institute has released early microcomputers, such as "MZ-80C" and "PC-8001", in miniatures with built-in emulator.A campaign for NEC to attach this to the company's 40th anniversary model.If you are a computer, we will do our best!

Overall picture of Vivtor miniature historical collection.TV and boomboxes also have color variations.

After all, is it "the truth dwells in the details"?

There are various Morie gimmicks, and in the case of boomboxes, the handle or antenna does not grow but moves.After that, only one cassette tape is entered, so if you can play it in and out, you can play it.In the video camera, the battery behind the main unit comes off.

-- Sounds good.A place where a thick battery was devised.

Morie This is also possible to put cassette tape in and out.

――Is this logo or the characters printed on the main unit already alphabet?But when you look at it from a distance, it looks like an alphabet.If not, something new.But you can read it if you look closely.It is amazing.

Morie That's right.

――The victor dog on this color TV screen is very small and cute.

In the Morie Yoshinoya miniature collection, this “teacup” appears randomly as a lucky item.This teacup stands diagonally.It seems that the teacup of this design, which is used at the actual Yoshinoya store, can stand up like this.

――Eh, nobody knows that.

It seems to be Morie.

――There is to try it on the Suidobashi store on the way back.

If you say a lot before the release of Morie, you will not be aware of it, so I'm always wondering what to do with the sage.

Yoshinoya Miniature Collection Lucky item teacups are set up diagonally

　I looked into the Yoshinoya because I wanted to make a teacup, but I couldn't find the teacup just because water was out in a plastic cup.Will it become a teacup for winter?

　The company says that the capsertoi and blind box miniature exceeded about 100 series.What is popular, for example, a miniature of "Karimoku 60" is produced in 550,000 series.There is also a building, and there is also a collection of Kakuga Kumawa, a Kadokawa Sakura Town Musashino Museum (released in December, KADOKAWA employees?).The biggest trend in the IT industry is "DX", but the important concept is "digital twin".Digitize the form in the world.Miniature figures are all similar to that, and they feel like they are.

A public bath collection.It seems to be sold in public baths.The scale is also a product of a real manufacturer.Hozaka says he owns the character Yupo -kun of the Tokyo public bath.

The "Miniature Collection" is super impressive as a souvenir.The can of the persimmon seeds of Naniya comes out of tears as a Niigata prefecture.

　If you think it's like "publishing", Kenelifant is also in the publishing business.There are also Kenichi Tsuzuki and comics, and Kenelebooks (as a "do" publishing label) and Kraken (publishers that make the future interesting).In addition, a talk event called Jimbocho University is held.This is very interesting for me who did a book, curry and Jimbocho three times with Tsubuya University.There are also stores such as Vinyl at JR Tokyo Station.

　The interview continued endlessly after this, but it is a story that is almost in the details of each figure, so this is the case.What other figures are they making and how do they make the world interesting from Sarugaku -cho?See from the link below.
