Mandarake "Manga" Book Store
Mandarake is a book store in Akihabara. Is like a mecca for fans of Japan anime, mangas, hentai, toys, etc.
Este mês eu acompanhei o autor de novelas Walcyr Carrasco fazer pesquisas para a sua próxima novela, que será exibida pela TV Globo. Eu trabalhei como guia, interprete e camera. Visitamos vários locais que poderiam servir como locação para as filmagens, assim, o autor poderia escrever o roteiro baseado em imagens vistas pessoalmente.
Walcyr Carrasco
Durante as pesquisas, eu aproveitei para documentar em vídeo as impressões que ele sentia sobre o Japão. Por seu uma pessoa espirituosa, Walcyr se apaixonou pelo país, principalmente em visitas nos locais antigos, com história milenar e longe do que representa o Japão moderno e tecnologico.

Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto/Japan - 1300 years history. The temple dates back to 798, and its present buildings were constructed in 1633.
This week i and TV reporter Roberto Kovalick flew to Nagasaki city in Japan to make a report about Mr. Tsutomu Yamaguchi, a Japanese man, who is one of the few people who survived both the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombings.
Yamaguchi, an engineer in Hiroshima on a business trip for Mitsubishi Heavy Industries on August 6, 1945 was just stepping off a tram when the atomic bomb Little Boy was dropped over the city just 3 kilometers away. The resulting explosion destroyed his eardrums, blinded him temporarily, and left him with serious burns over the left side of the top half of his body. He was wrapped in bandages for his skin wounds, and he went completely bald. Like many of the survivors of the atomic explosions, Yamaguchi suffered agony for much of his life. His wife was also poisoned by black rain. Yamaguchi spent a fitful night in an air raid shelter before returning to his hometown of Nagasaki the following day. Yamaguchi was once again 3 kilometers away explaining to his supervisor how close he came to death just a few days before when the second bomb, Fat Man, was dropped.
"It was my destiny that I experienced this twice and I am still alive to convey what happened. I can't understand why the world cannot understand the agony of the nuclear bombs. How can they keep developing these weapons?"
- Tsutomu Yamaguchi -
This report was transmitted in Brazil by the TV show called Fantastico.

Atom bomb survivor dies, aged 93
The only person officially recognised as having survived both atomic bombings in Japan at the end of World War II has died from stomach cancer, aged 93.
Tsutomu Yamaguchi was in Hiroshima on a business trip on 6 August 1945 when a US plane dropped the first atomic bomb. He suffered serious burns and spent a night there before returning to his home city of Nagasaki just before it was bombed on 9 August. He said he hoped his experience held a lesson of peace for future generations.
It was already recorded that Mr Yamaguchi had survived the Nagasaki bomb, but in March last year officials recognised he had been in Hiroshima as well.
'Precious storyteller'
A handful or Japanese people are known to have lived through both attacks, but Mr Yamaguchi is the only one formally recognised by the Japanese government to have done so.
Certification as a hibakusha or radiation survivor qualifies Japanese citizens for government compensation, including medical check-ups, and funeral costs.
On learning of his official recognition last year, Mr Yamaguchi said: "My double radiation exposure is now an official government record.
"It can tell the younger generation the horrifying history of the atomic bombings even after I die."
In his later years, Mr Yamaguchi gave talks about his experiences as an atomic bomb survivor and emphasised his hope nuclear weapons would be abolished.
About 140,000 people were killed in Hiroshima and 70,000 in Nagasaki.
Survivors fell sick with radiation-related illnesses, including cancers, for years after the bombings.
The Mainichi newspaper reported that last month Mr Yamaguchi was visited in hospital by James Cameron, the director of Titanic and Avatar, who is apparently considering making a film about the bombings.
Commenting on Mr Yamaguchi's death, the mayor of Nagasaki said on the city's website that "a precious storyteller has been lost".
Rest in peace, Mr. Tsutomu Yamaguchi

Helio Yoshida
The term videographer typically refers to an individual who records videos on a professional basis, whether for film, TV or now Internet broadcasting.
In my case, as a self-employed videographer, i work in smaller productions, such independent documentaries, weddings, commercials, and corporate events. Almost the times, i like to work alone or with a sound assistent or TV reporter.
In today’s job market, a videographer is expected to possess a wide range of technical skills. I need to operate responsibilities that include shooting, editing, lighting, and sound.
What i always wanted to be is a storyteller that use images and audio in sequence.
Helio Yoshida, Juliane Guzzoni, Chika Yoshida and Adilson
This month I was hired by a Brazilian TV to work as coordinator and translator to a serie of reports in Japan. The team was the reporter Juliane Guzzoni and cameraman Adilson, both from RPC TV - Parana.
We traveled through Japan from Tochigi State in east side of Japan to Hiroshima in 14 days of work. Also because this work, i meet a japanese girl called Chika. She work in the Foreign Press Japan Center. The interesting about her is after that, she went to Amazonas my home state in Brazil in the other side of the world in a tourism trip and she meet my family over there.
Adilson
Adilson is a experienced cameraman. I didn't know but he had made some works to my favorite TV program in Brazil called Globo Rural.
I shoot this photo of him when he was film in the entrance of Tokyo Imperial Palace. You can see also in the background of the photo the beautiful Tokyo Tower.
Juliane Guzzoni is a well know TV reporter in Parana State - Brazil. She also appears on national network some times as a reporter. In Parana State, she also was a host of local news TV program.
Juliane in front of the camera is very impressive. She has a very good voice and of course, writes very well.
I shoot this picture inside of Tokyo Imperial Palace. This is a place where you can spend all day relaxing in the center core of Tokyo.

Edson Xavier, Rosana Valle, Helio Yoshida and Alex
I worked for 10 days along with a brazilan TV team which came to Japan to make reports about the centennial celebration of Japanese immigration to Brazil. My work again was to be translator and coordinator.
Was part of the team, Brazil national network TV Reporter Rosana Valle and cameraman Alex. Both work for TV Tribuna.
In this photo, we were going to film Crow Prince of Japan, Naruhito in a ceremony at the port of Kobe City, where the first boat left 100 years ago carrying the first japanese immigrants to Brazil.
Alex shooting in Hiroshima
Alex is a smart cameraman. He came to Japan with a small Sony PD-170 because i told he before about Japan have very tight and crowd places. Also, we did travel Japan by train, so small equipment is easy to carry.
Even now, we maintain contact by Orkut online community.
I shoot this photo in Atomic Bome Bomb when Alex was film around. This place is amazing!
Rosana Valle in Hiroshima
Rosana Valle is the presenter of a TV show in Brazil about tourism called Rota do Sol. She had travel around the world in places like Machu Picchu, Antarctic or Hiroshima making great reports. She is a wonderful person and maybe one day we can make something for TV together again.
I shoot this picture in front of The Peace Flame monument to the victims of the bomb that destroyed Hiroshima.
The flame has burned continuously since it was lit in 1964, and will remain lit until all nuclear bombs on the planet are destroyed and the planet is free from the threat of nuclear annihilation.
I did a report about a dream of a Capoeira's teacher to build the first academy of Capoeira in Japan. Actually, there are many classes in Capoeira in Japan, however, no one with they own building. The building will be ready in January 2007.
I am this guy trying to film the President of Brazil, Lula. In his visit to Japan, i was hired as a cameraman to film his visit in some places. Part of the video transmission was "on live TV" for about one hour.
