I am honored to appear on the TV program "Untitled Concert."

I was delighted to receive this request. It's a long-running program that anyone who likes classical music knows. I remember watching Toshiro Mayuzumi on Sunday mornings at my parents' house about 40 years ago.

This is a chance to let the Tohoku Youth Orchestra know more about it. I had been told to never release this information, and it was treated as "top secret," but the program had already announced public viewing of the recording. I forgot, sorry!

I wanted to let you know quickly that if you could send a postcard back and forth by today, the 16th, it would probably arrive at TV Asahi in Tokyo, although I understand that this may be difficult from Yonaguni Island in Okinawa.

Following the Morioka performance on the 30th of this month (tickets are still available!) and the Tokyo performance on the 31st (Monday) (tickets for which thankfully sold out immediately, to our delight...), this will be a public recording session for three consecutive days for the members of the orchestra, giving them an opportunity to share their music with everyone. Please apply quickly and apply now.

Please see this page for more details.
