It happened last night.
For some days now, I had been continuing the task of dubbing the programs I had recorded this year onto DVDs.
At last, I was nearing the end, and last night I was watching Coldplay’s concert in São Paulo, Brazil, acclaimed as the greatest live performance in history, while dubbing it.
When the world was saying that China would come after Japan, and then India, I appeared on the Internet as the first person in the world to declare unequivocally that “The Turntable of Civilization” would never turn to these countries.
As long as China remains a dictatorship ruled by the Communist Party, “The Turntable of Civilization” will not turn to China.
Unless India can overcome its caste system, it will not turn to India.
It will probably be impossible for India to overcome its caste system even in a hundred years.
This is because “The Turntable of Civilization” does not turn on economic strength alone.
It is because “The Turntable of Civilization” turns to a country that, together with economic strength, has created an unprecedented culture and civilization that humanity has never experienced before.
For another 170 years, Japan must continue to lead the world alongside the United States as one of the world’s greatest nations in intellect and freedom.
Then, 170 years from now, to which country will “The Turntable of Civilization” turn after Japan?
I believe that it will be Brazil.
This is because Brazil has only the problem of poverty.
In other words, it has only the problem of economic inequality.
Coldplay’s São Paulo concert proved that my conjecture had been correct.
This is because there could be no people outside Brazil who would sing Coldplay’s many signature songs together with Chris Martin in such an extraordinarily vast crowd.
As can be seen from football, samba, and bossa nova, they are probably among the world’s foremost peoples in their sense of rhythm and musicality.
After all, the vast audience is singing along so perfectly that Chris Martin’s voice can barely be heard.
♪Yellow♪♪Scientist♪etc. The vast audience is singing almost every song together.
There are no people like this anywhere else in the world.
Brazil! “The Turntable of Civilization” will turn to your country.
Spend the next 170 years with this firmly in mind.
