[ 街の呼吸 ]
福岡県北九州市。鉄で栄えた街は、急速に観光、商業都市へと姿を変えつつある。
古い街並みは破壊され、古い街の住人たちは居場所を失った。
しかし、郊外では、今日も変わらず製鉄所の煙突が煙を吐いている。
人々の営みの変遷は、些細な事とでもいうかの様に。
[ The City's Respiration ]
Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture. The city that once prospered with steel is rapidly transforming into a city focused on tourism and commerce.
Old townscapes are being destroyed, and the long-time residents of these neighborhoods have lost their sense of place.
However, in the suburbs, the chimneys of the steel mills continue to emit smoke, just as they always have.
It is as if these changes in people's daily lives are but a minor transition.

[ 踊り子 ]
全盛期には、全国に400館あったといわれるストリップ劇場。
娯楽の多様化、風俗産業を取り巻く社会の変化の影響を受け、年々とその数を減らし、現在は17館となった。
斜陽化するストリップの世界で、今も生き続ける踊り子がいる。
煌びやかな衣装を纏い、今日も劇場の舞台に舞う。

It is said that at its height, there were 400 strip theaters across Japan.
Due to the diversification of entertainment and social changes surrounding the adult entertainment industry, that number has decreased year by year, currently standing at only 17 theaters.
Within this declining world of striptease, there are dancers who continue to thrive.
Dressed in dazzling costumes, they take the stage at the theater today, as they do every day.

[ 三姉妹 ]
北九州市、小倉。
駅前の繁華街にあった老舗のアダルトグッズショップに、5人の姉妹がいた。
アダルトグッズショップの廃業後、5人の姉妹は近くの成人映画館に引き取られた。
その後、2人は近隣のBarの看板娘となるため旅立ち、3人が映画館に残った。
3人は今日も映画館の片隅から、小倉の街を見つめている。
[ The City's Respiration ]
In Kokura, Kitakyushu City, there was an established adult goods shop located in the downtown area near the station that was home to five sisters.
After the adult goods shop closed, the five sisters were taken in by a nearby adult cinema.
Subsequently, two of the sisters departed to become "kanban musume" at a local bar, leaving three sisters remaining at the cinema.
Today, those three sisters continue to gaze out at the city of Kokura from a corner of the movie theater.

[ かたすみの片隅 ]
かたすみの片隅。
余白としての存在の片隅。
そこに、生活の余白が滞留していく。
そこに、あってもなくても変わらない。
[ Katasumi no katasumi ]
A margin within a margin.
A space of pure emptiness.
Into it, the margin of life accumulates.
Whether it is there or not changes nothing.

[ 木屋瀬 ]
北九州市、木屋瀬。
江戸時代、木屋瀬宿として栄えた宿場町。
当時の建物が点在する街で、着物をレンタルして街を散策する。
木屋瀬を散策する人々の記憶。
[ Koyanose ]
Koyanose, Kitakyushu City.
This post town flourished as Koyanose-juku during the Edo Period.
In this town, where buildings from that time are still scattered, people rent kimonos and stroll through the streets.
This is a memory of the people exploring Koyanose.
