Snapshot 01
Generally, Harada does not like his photos to be shown in public or to appear on stage. This is because he has various complexes about himself.However, here we will upload photos of Harada taken by various people as a record. Please note that at Harada's request, the images have been made small and that many of the photographers' names are unknown.
At a rally held by labor unions and civic groups in 2004, with voice actress Masako Nozawa and others.
2007. Zagreb International Animation Film Festival. In the photo below, the projectionist is on the left and the manager on the right. The theater where MIDORI was screened has a 100-year history dating back to the socialist era.
Tokyo International Fantastic Film Festival, 2004. MC Seiko Ito later accompanied Doctors Without Borders.
In addition to Musashino Art University, Harada was also a lecturer at Bunka Gakuin (left) and Musashino Art School (right) (now retired from all of them).
At the time, a French company wanted to release the CDs "Die in the Countryside" and "Throw Away Your Books, Go Out to the Streets" in France, and although both Caesar and Shuji Terayama's wife agreed, the Japanese record company rejected the request and it never came to fruition.

History of animation 03
What were the "characters" that originally made up the word "animation"?
40,000 years ago: Murals were first discovered on the Indonesian island of Suraweng. On Earth, pictures preceded the appearance of characters.
About 8,200 to 4,000 years ago: Ancient rock pictographs were found in what is now Scandinavia.
5,500 years ago: Sumerian writing, using stamps and clay tablets, was born in Mesopotamia. Emoji (pictograms) were discovered on clay tablets. (The clay tablets were made with the tip of a reed to create bumps. Clay was easy to rewrite.)
5,100 years ago: Uruk script (archaic writing) was unearthed from the Uruk (now Warka) ruins in central Iraq.
4,600 years ago: Mesopotamian cuneiform writing changed from vertical to horizontal (left to right) writing, and all characters were rotated 90 degrees to the left. After that, the parts were straightened out, and they became cuneiform combination characters. *1
Around 4,400 years ago, ancient characters discovered in Syria are probably the oldest alphabetic characters (announced in 2024) https://hub.jhu.edu/2024/11/21/ancient-alphabet-discovered-syria/
4,000 years ago: The birth of ancient civilizations such as the Olmecs. Signs of animation can be seen in patterns, ruins, symbols, characters, and pictograms. The time axis (calendar) based on the universe and celestial bodies was born.
4,000 years ago: There are hundreds of pictograms at the Peikos River ruins along the Texas coast. Pictograms from 4,000 to 1,000 years ago are called "the oldest books in North America." This time, black manganese pigment was discovered under red paint made of iron oxide.
3,900 years ago: The appearance of "hieroglyphics," the predecessor of Linear A, in Crete. Direction: left to right. Mainly called Mediterranean characters.
3,800 years ago: Linear A developed, continuing until the collapse of the Minoan civilization.
--------
*1 Harada once looked into the origin of the directionality of images by first examining the directionality of writing.
Eisenstein and other Western film directors have said that left-to-right screen direction is the basis. Eisenstein also said that the direction of musical scores is also an influence.
On the other hand, in Asia, including Japan, text is written from right to left and the basic direction of images is also right to left.
The origin of "direction" comes from the Big Bang.
On the other hand, ancient characters on Earth originally did not distinguish between left and right, and there was also a mixed writing method called bovine plowing.
As cultures developed, right and left became separated. The reason for this is still unclear.
Research has been published that shows that cave paintings and handprint art before the birth of writing were mostly right-handed (right-handed).
The origin of right-handedness and left-handedness has not yet been clarified, although there are various studies on the position of the heart and the convenience of ancient hunting.
Incidentally, Harada is left-handed.
*2 The origins of music and musical instruments are also being discovered one after another in recent years.
Why do we perceive major chords as happy and minor chords as sad?
Did such a distinction exist in ancient music (used in rituals)?
This research also relates to the field of neuroscience.
Previous research has suggested that the experience of listening to a lot of combinations of minor chords and sad scenes produces such emotions and reactions.

3,900 years ago: The appearance of "hieroglyphics," the predecessor of Linear A, in Crete. Direction: left to right. Mainly called Mediterranean characters.
3,800 years ago: Linear A developed, continuing until the collapse of the Minoan civilization.
Three types of writing are believed to have been used throughout Crete, the Aegean Sea, and parts of Greece during the Bronze Age. Linear A was originally written with an iron stylus on clay tablets, but was simplified enough to be carved into stone and metal. Numbers and fractions were also perfected (drawn with dotted lines, etc.).
3,500 years ago: Cyprus also had its own unique writing system, the Cyprian script.
3,500 years ago: The oldest civilization, the Olmecs, and their mysterious giant stone statues and jade masks. The oldest drawings, modeling, technical ability, and realism.
3,500 years ago: An inscription with characters similar to the early alphabet was discovered in Tel Lachish, in the Shepera region of central-southern Israel. It is a combination of six letters on different lines. It is from the time when the Canaanites lived. It also shows some influence from hieroglyphics.
3,450 years ago: Linear B (large quantities excavated, trade product names, personal names, place names, fractions, amounts, payment marks, group ruler names, etc., administrative bureaucracy, product distribution) developed from the simple Linear A (rarely excavated) in the Aegean region. Used in Knossos, Crete, and mainland Greece. The K-line (timeline) was established. The alphabet is written from left to right. (The direction was discovered because the left side was blank). It is a custom to write the initial letter large.
Around 3450: Development of Mediterranean writing
Around 3450: A symbol inscribed on a clay tablet fragment discovered in Iklaina, Greece, was discovered to be the oldest legible writing in Europe (early Linear B) (announced in 2011).
Linear B is a writing system used in ancient Greece, consisting of about 87 symbols, with each letter representing a different sound.
It is believed that the Mycenaeans only used Linear B to record economic matters of interest to the ruling class.
The clay tablet in question also has a verb that seems to mean "manufacture" inscribed on the front side, and a list of names and numbers on the back, which is probably a list of assets.
Linear B is thought to have derived from the older "Linear A," which has yet to be deciphered and is said to have originated from hieroglyphics used in ancient Egypt. At that time, only a certain class of people could read and write, and for the general public, written language was a "magic" or "mystery". Written language did not become widespread in Greece until 400 to 600 years later, when the ancient Greek alphabet replaced Linear B. The ancient Greek alphabet later developed into a written language consisting of 26 letters, and the Latin "alphabet" was born.
3,400 years ago: It was announced in the 1950s that cuneiform characters written in Hurrian on a clay tablet from the 14th century BCE discovered in Ugarit, ancient Syria, were found to be a Sumerian hymn from 3,400 years ago, and the oldest music. It has also been pointed out that the seven-note diatonic (whole tone scale do-re-mi...) chord scale and melody existed 3,400 years ago. (Announced in 2014) *2
New discoveries are made every year in space science and archaeology, and the oldest records continue to be updated.
When reading these articles, it is necessary to first check the year in which the text was written.
When studying the scientific literature, Harada recommends basing arguments on peer-reviewed articles published in Science or Nature rather than media reports.

The British Museum Library Series which Harada used as a reference early on, is an expensive book but is rich in illustrations.

The reality of the anime business 02
●The current state of commercial anime: the hidden reality of labor *1
Anime production companies are divided into slightly larger companies called "primary contractors" and smaller companies called "subcontractors."
In the past, the parties ordering production were broadcasting stations, agencies, sponsors, etc. However, in recent years, they have come to call themselves "production committees (projects)," a conglomerate of investing companies.
The production committees order anime production from a small number of primary contractors.
Most commercial anime relies on the labor of countless subcontracting companies, scattered freelance staff, and China, Korea, the Philippines, etc. It is these countless workers who actually make anime.
Many small anime subcontracting companies in Japan quietly rent a room in an apartment or condominium, pack many desks into the small room, and work 24 hours a day.
Materials are usually exchanged with the primary contractor late at night.
They use courier services to send materials to studios far away from Tokyo, and air freight and data communications are used to exchange materials with overseas companies.
In recent years, there are exceptions among newly established companies, but in many companies, there is no social insurance, employee pension insurance, overtime pay, retirement benefits, various allowances, or time cards, and workers are forced to work unlimited hours, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
10% of companies have solid employment contracts, 30% are somewhat solid, and about 60% do not comply with the Labor Standards Act but officially call their employees "employees."
All work instructions are given verbally, and there are no employment contracts, service contracts, or purchase orders.
Somewhat solid companies place job advertisements in schools and magazines, but most only announce the recruitment on their own websites.
In most cases, there is no detailed explanation of the employment or work content, and you are told to "come on the job starting tomorrow."
In the 1980s and 1990s, labor unions and some anime subcontractors requested improvements to the government and broadcasting stations, arguing that the main cause of the problem was the extremely low production costs paid for anime, but there was no real progress.
In the 1990s, job advertisements for animation companies were rejected by job information magazines because they violated the minimum wage law and various labor laws.
Until the 1990s, animation companies had vaguely recognized people working in animation as "労働者(laborers)" (a legal term to which the Labor Standards Act applies).
However, the companies realized that the actual working and employment conditions of these people violated various labor laws.
In recent years, companies have begun to insist that people working in animation are not "laborers" but "independent business owners" and that they are contracted to provide company space and take on work.
Since the 1980s, during the long period of conservative ruling party politics, negative campaigns that viewed workers and labor unions as enemies have become widespread.
Due to campaigns by the government and various ministries that followed the government, young people have come to shun the terms "worker" and "labor union" as old-fashioned.
And more young anime staff are claiming that "we are creators, not workers."
Currently, some researchers, business managers, and business planners have expanded on this argument (the Koizumi-Takenaka line) and are developing a neoliberal tone that has been funded by taxpayers' money, aimed at young people who admire anime. *2
*2 Today, the only one who points out that the current situation in Japan is problematic is the United Nations. Many people no longer feel the need for labor laws or labor unions, and are enjoying life surrounded by a flood of new products and advertisements that are released every day by large companies and major advertising agencies.
Final report of the United Nations Working Group on Business and Human Rights' Japan visit
Excerpt: "The starting salary for animators is only 1.5 million yen (about $10,000). This disparity is particularly worrying given that as of 2023, approximately 30.8% of people working in the anime industry work as freelancers or independent contractors, who are reportedly not protected by current labor laws. This allows for excessively long working hours and unfair contracting relationships to flourish. Yet anime production companies, along with their subcontractors, are not penalized."

Humans and Animation 05
Part 1: "Origins and Premonitions - Animation History Beginning with a Hypothesis"
We call the planet we inhabit "Earth" and the vast and mysterious space that surrounds it "Universe".
The universe is said to have been born about 13.7 billion years ago due to the Big Bang hypothesis. (*1)
At this point, "light and shadow," "color," "movement," and "sound" were born. All of these are important components that govern animation.
After the Big Bang, the universe continued to expand, and countless fascinating and mysterious phenomena were displayed on a vast stage.
This show in a huge space is the oldest phenomenal image in history that combines "light and shadow" and "color," and is the origin of all "motion" and "image," as well as the ancestor of outdoor projection.
The stage was surrounded by black curtains made of dark matter, which provided the perfect environment for screening images, and the projection, which strictly adhered to "完全暗転 (complete darkness)," was a first-class skill as a projectionist and stage director. (*2)
These large-scale performances were later photographed one after another by scientists on Earth. Phenomena in outer space sometimes contain cruel and cold dramas such as disintegration, destruction, and birth, but what we see with our eyes are strangely beautiful abstractions. (*3)
The world before the Big Bang and the structure of the world beyond the universe remain great mysteries, but the day will come when they will be revealed. (*4)
---------------
*1 When this essay was published in 2011, the year of the Big Bang was 13.7 billion years ago, but after the observation of light immediately after the Big Bang in 2014, the year of the Big Bang was revised worldwide to 13.82 billion years ago.
*2 The "complete darkness (total blackout)" of a theater, in which every last light is turned off and it becomes completely dark, was a technique strictly observed in Shuji Terayama's "Tenjo Sajiki."
*3 Currently, the images taken by the James Webb Space Telescope (NASA, ESA, and CSA) are astounding.
*4 The universe continues to expand, and immediately after the birth of the universe, it was in an opaque fog that light could not pass through, so it is currently believed that observations prior to the Big Bang are impossible. However, various mysteries that were previously thought to be impossible have now been solved. Therefore, we privately believe that there may be a slight possibility of working backwards from the discovery of some traces of the time immediately after the Big Bang.

Humans and Animation 04
By intentionally adding natural noise, flicker, distortion, and error (*1), and breaking away from conventional stereotypical image rules, animation makes it possible to approach society with real emotions, will, and individual dignity.
By generating a theatrical big bang full of humanity on paper, it is also possible to help restore the balance of an unbalanced society and environment.
It does not require a large amount of capital. Worn out household items, art supplies, dirty clothes, waste materials, and everything scattered in nature are transformed into infinite tools that support creativity and imagination. (*2)
The depressing scenes of cities plagued by a sense of stagnation and the transformation of the earth, which is screaming in its out-of-sync rhythm, are awakening new possibilities and needs.
We are walking through a new era in which various mysteries, such as the birth of life forms, the creation of the earth, and the structure of the universe, are being dramatically solved.
It is no longer the time to propagate animation only in a narrow sense or to promote mass consumption.
The time has come to view animation from a broader perspective.
We are in an era where we can talk and think together about various concepts and possibilities.
What is animation?
It is living a long history day by day while carrying a precious life inside us.

*1 Harada says that now that animation and film have been digitized and are so perfect that they are error-free, people will find the intentional insertion of human mistakes refreshing.In the days of film, Norshtein was strict about mistakes, but his works still contain mistakes (whether intentional or not).When we watch them, we realize that Norshtein is a human being just like us.
*2 Harada listened to lectures by Norstein and Jiří Barta, who visited Japan.Czech puppet animator Jiří Barta said, "As society became more capitalist, it became more difficult to make things. In order to raise funds for production, I had to make works that I didn't want."However, in his latest work, like his previous works, he animates old dust rags and other simple household materials.
