Pavane of Serenity
~ Mie Saito Marimba Recital – Wind from Gaul ~ The Pavane was like Gould. The soft, mallet-less rolled sounds melted and disappeared bit by bit into the space of the wooden church before Christmas, leaving behind a transparent moment. Mie Saito's Marimba Recital was held at St. Paul's Church in Asagaya on December 20th...

The World of Kazuhiko Koyama ~ Kazuhiko Koyama Works Exhibition ~
It has been seven years since I first encountered Koyama's work. At the time, his works were performed in the context of works by various composers, and modernity was emphasized, but when I listened to his work again at his first solo exhibition on December 12th, I was surprised to find that it was actually full of lyricism. This exhibition mainly featured solo pieces, with accompanying music.

Stradivarius Summit Concert
I've been into music lately, so after the Three Tenors, I went to another super-fancier concert: the Stradivarius Summit Concert. This concert brought together six Stradivarius violins, two violas, and two cellos, and was accompanied by concertmasters from orchestras around the world.

Later that year, when the yen weakened, the news was broadcast as if the economy had been saved. I think that way of thinking is...

Intellectual Asset Creation, 1996 New Year's Edition, by Natsuhiko Sakimura The first office revolution, brought about by the widespread use of telephones, facsimiles, and copies, dramatically improved the productivity of white-collar workers, but it also created new bottlenecks, such as the emergence of managers as information brokers and the decline in work efficiency caused by talking on open floors.

Whenever there is a traffic jam, one argument that is always heard is something along the lines of, "Why is the toll so high on top of the congestion? Lower the toll." It is certainly understandable from an emotional standpoint, but if you think about why the expressways are congested, you will see that this argument is twisted.
