"Pantograph" is a creative unit that produces advertisements, magazine covers, CD jackets, etc. Approximately 130 works that "Pantograph" has published on the cover of magazines will be sold as one book "Parallel World Souvenir Book" on June 11th.

Introduced in the book are useful goods that have evolved uniquely in the parallel world. Just as knowing the culture of a different country gives you a deeper understanding of your own culture, knowing the goods of a parallel world may give you a different perspective on the goods of this world we live in.

Let me introduce some goods. For example, "disc making machine". In the world we live in, discs are "burned", but in a different world, they are like stretching a ball full of data. In this parallel world, you will be very worried about how the washing machine has evolved, and you will be very worried about it.

Perhaps the mothers of the parallel world are still using such a washing machine?

Next, I would like to introduce "smartphone glasses" with built-in opera glasses. If you put it in your smartphone that you always carry with you, you don't have to feel sad that you've forgotten your opera glasses! I'm a little wondering how many times in my life I'll come across situations where I use opera glasses.

If you touch the base, you will get an electric shock, so you need to be careful.

By the way, this "Parallel World Souvenir Book" is reminiscent of the Beatles' "Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band". In "Sergeant Peppers ...", the songs were of course excellent, but with the introduction of the concept of making the whole into a "fictitious band show", the quality of the album was raised to the level of art. rice field.

Of course, the "Parallel World Souvenir Book" and the works that appear are interesting, but the poet Hiroshi Homura introduces the works with the concept of "souvenirs from the parallel world", and this is this book. It gives more depth and fun to the.

One example would be a "vacuum tube wireless router". This work is something that will be done when a medium wave loop antenna is installed as an antenna. However, with the addition of Mr. Hiroshi Homura's words, "The taste of the transmitted radio waves is different," the fun is even greater.

Wi-Fi radio waves get a little warmer (it's a lie)

Then "record disc set". In this work, which has a strong visual impact, many people will laugh at the moment they see it and then forget about it. However, Hiroshi Homura explained that "it becomes music by playing the records in charge of vocals, guitar, bass, and drums at the same time." "By adjusting the number of records, you can listen to the performance when the band members leave," he added. With this one word, readers can uselessly expand their delusional wings, such as "If a band welcomes a new vocalist, can I replace the records and listen to old songs with the new vocals?" As expected, a singer.

In a sense, it ’s 4 tigers.
