"Home Movie Day (HMD) 2016" was held on March 18 at "Menbo Takeya" (Hirosaki City Minoru-cho), a soba shop in Hirosaki.

“HMD (Home Movie Day)” is an event to bring video films that are sleeping in each home and show them, and enjoy them with the local people.

According to Asako Takemori of HMD Hirosaki, which hosts the event, 2016 was held in 23 countries, and similar events were held at 12 locations in Japan. "Usually it is held on the third Saturday in October, but this time it has been postponed to this day. It may be the latest in 2016, maybe the latest in Japan," he said.

About 50 people came to the venue on this day. The hero show at Hirosaki's well-established department store "Kakuwa Miyagawa" on the rooftop amusement park made a surprise voice. In addition, there was a video of Nebuta about 40 years ago in Kizo-machi, Aomori Prefecture, and I was told that it was a valuable video with audio remaining.

Hirosaki Higashi High School (former Hirosaki Denpa Kogyo High School) former teacher Ken Nakamura provided an 8 mm film filmed about 40 years ago. In the video "I haven't seen it since the filming" (Mr. Nakamura), the predecessor Hirosaki station building and Neputa made at the Cultural Festival were shown. Mr. Nakamura smiled, "I was impressed. It's nostalgic that the Neputa produced at the Cultural Festival was in the picture. It's nostalgic."
