Akira Kobayashi, an editorial committee member of the Nihon Keizai Shimbun, visited the Tohoku Youth Orchestra's training camp held in the Boso Peninsula in Chiba Prefecture just before the first concert to cover the event. The article, which covers the Tohoku Youth Orchestra's training camp, where he listened to what Ryuichi Sakamoto, the orchestra's representative and director, had to say and took photos of the scenery, will be published in two parts today and tomorrow.

By the way, the person I interviewed, Kobayashi Akira, had written an article about my Tanaka Hirokazu movement about a year and a half ago. When I informed him about the activities of the Tohoku Youth Orchestra this time, I found out that he had interviewed Director Sakamoto many times, which led to the creation of this article.
