On June 10, 2017, "Tachikawa Kessen: Ultra Seven 50th Anniversary of Broadcast - Extreme Bombastic Sound Screening" was held at Cinema City Cinema Two, Tachikawa.

This event was held to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the broadcast of the tokusatsu drama "Ultra Seven." The screening event asked a leading Japanese sound engineer to make adjustments to the sound, and visitors were able to enjoy a loud screening with the sound adjusted to the optimum level. This is the second event following the "Ultraman Superlative Bakudan Screening" held last year, and this time, in addition to five carefully selected famous episodes, "Ultra Fight" and "Redman," known as "the red guy" on the Internet, will also be screened with carefully selected episodes.

In addition, DJ Inu will play DJ. The talk show was hosted by Nabeyakan, a TV personality known as a collector of tokusatsu goods, and featured guests including manga artist and monster designer Shinji Nishikawa, who also designs the "Godzilla" series, and film directors Minoru Kawasaki and Shinji Higuchi.

Here is a report on the event.

Screening of "Ultra Seven" and other famous episodes!

This time, episodes 3 "Secret of the Lake," 26 "Super Weapon R1," 28 "Running 700km! Episode 43 "Nightmare on the Fourth Planet", and Episode 49 (the final episode) "The Greatest Invasion in History (Part 2)". The selection of the episodes must have been a difficult task, as "Ultra Seven" is packed with highlights, but at the same time, it is an exquisite choice that fans will agree with.

The event opened with the impressive third episode, which showed the dark deeds of the Pit aliens who transformed into beautiful girls and Seven's success in defeating them without question. When the theme song was played, the audience spontaneously clapped their hands, and the festive mood quickly rose.

The atmosphere of the venue turned serious in episode 26, which seemed to hint at the future of the excessive arms development competition, but the audience laughed throughout episode 28, a rare episode full of bizarre scenes and dialogues. On the other hand, the scene in which Captain Kiriyama recklessly orders Amagi to dispose of a bomb, the audience was filled with laughter and shouts of "Go for it! Amagi! and "Hang in there, Amagi!

In the latter half of the event, director Akio Jissoji's avant-garde visuals depicted a world in which humanity is ruled by computers. The final episode, which brought tears to the audience's eyes as they saw the Ultraseven Ultra Guard base in desperate straits and the heroic figure of Moroboshi Dan, who pushed his injured body into a final battle, were also shown on the theater's large screen and in loud sound.

In between the episodes, "Ultra Fight" and the children's TV program "Ohayo! Children's Show" was also screened. Both films are short series consisting only of battle scenes between heroes and monsters, but "Ultra Fight" is a pro-wrestling style film with announcer Jiro Yamada's famous tone, while "Redman" is a film that has been gaining attention on the Internet for its rather rough fighting style despite being a hero, and has been re-evaluated in recent years. Redman" was also a big hit, as its rough fighting style, despite being a hero, has been gaining attention on the Internet and has been reevaluated in recent years. The event was a great success as well. The fast-paced style of the films made for a cheerful and lively atmosphere.
