概要	In the 1980s, Shibuya’s downtown became the top-notch commercial centre providing the edgiest model for Japan’s consumerist culture in the midst of the economic boom. However, during the economically stagnant decades that ensued, Shibuya gradually lost its hold on its status as the trendiest fashion and culture centre, parts of its downtown now rife with kitsch teenagers and heavily acid nightclub frequenters. After a historical and geographical glance at the postwar Shibuya as well as recent urban sociologists' views, the paper discusses how Shibuya is looked back upon after its most glorious years by examining Okada Toshiki's Sangatsu-no Itsukakan (Five Days in March) and Iwamatsu Ryo's Shibuyaka-kara Toku Hanarete (Far Away from Shibuya), both premiered in 2004. The plays stage Shibuya in the early 2000s, revealing its underbelly and evoking its postwar history at the same time.
