In the first part of this Music lover series article, we introduced "Otowa Kotake Mukaihara", a share house located 8 minutes from Ekoda Station. This time, I would like to introduce "Crann Terrace Kugahara" a huge share house with 62 rooms near the Tokyu Ikegami Line. "Crann Terrace Kugahara" takes its name from the meaning behind the Irish word "Crann" which means a group of people with a strong common interest" a group that creates deep links and becomes like a family.

"Crann Terrace Kugahara" is located in Kugahara, Otaku, Tokyo. A beautiful green scenario with a peaceful atmosphere. A town that you wouldn't imagine to find in the busy Tokyo. After walking under the bright blue sky in a street filled with drugstores, supermarkets, cafes and post offices for around 5 minutes we arrived in a residential area. A light gray chic building stood in from of us... we finally arrived at "Crann Terrace Kugahara". |
Yeah! It's a karaoke room! A soundproof karaoke room is available in the basement, recommended for those who like singing! At "Crann Terrace Kugahara", you can enjoy singing from morning till evening. |
Soundproof room: Ballad, opera even rock can be played here and none will hear it! | |||
Besides the karaoke room, I would like to introduce another special room for music lovers. This area is so large that all residents living in this sharehouse can enter! It's like a huge stage where daily lives take place. There are several share houses in Tokyo with soundproof rooms but it is very rare to find one with a soundproof room that is available for 24 hours. Moreover, this area also works as a studio which is equipped with a piano and drums that can be played whenever you want! Just imagine it. You could get up a little earlier than usual and practice before going to work or play yourself a lullaby before going to bed. It sounds so nice that I want to move in right now! "Clan Terrace Kugahara is well equipped for music lovers." Miss Kondo from Tokyo Defense Co., Ltd., is the person in charge of this share house and she kindly introduced the place to the team of Tokyo Sharehouse. "Here are a lot of people who have a passion for music. Since we organize an event once every two months we have the chance to enjoy the performance of our residences.", she said. Working during the day and sharing our favorite hobbies at night. We don't have to give up on our passion because of being noisy problems or not having enough time or money to rent a studio. Everything is possible in "Crann Terrace Kugahara"! And the best part is that you will always be part of the "clan", the family that you've have made in a share house. This is happiness.

The real-life atmosphere of Tokyo Defense Co., Ltd. - |
"Since this SNS era, there are bonds that we should protect." |
I couldn't agree more with the words of Miss Kondo. In this era, where the internet and cellphones have become an extension of our arms, we tend to keep our eyes away from others' faces and live inside our cellphone's screens. We get to interact less with real people and it gets worse if we are living alone. The amazing thing about living in a sharehouse, from my point of view and experience, is that the atmosphere itself invites you to leave the cellphone aside and casually talk to your housemates. Building relationships and make them stronger as we continue sharing in the community is really heartwarming. And those are the bonds that Tokyo Defense wants to protect as a company. Tokyo Defense is not only a share house in Ota Ward, Shinagawa Ward. |
