This film captures the miraculous clear skies over Arashiyama’s Hogon-in on November 30, 2025—one of Kyoto’s most precise and beautiful peak-autumn days. For over twenty years, I have photographed Kyoto’s four seasons, and the accuracy of its seasonal rhythm proves that its climate has not changed as the global-warming narrative insists. These images are paired with Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic’s performance of “Music of the Spheres,” the same opening piece performed magnificently at the Tokyo College of Music High School’s 2025 annual concert, led by Concertmaster Murata Natsuho. Their artistry rivaled even the Berlin Philharmonic. This work is both a tribute to that unforgettable performance and a celebration of Kyoto’s timeless natural beauty.

Yesterday—Sunday, November 30, 2025—Kyoto was blessed with flawless blue skies.
Every year without fail, the city’s autumn colors reach their peak between November 17 (18) and December 2, with the precision of a finely tuned instrument.
And every year, the weekends within that period almost mysteriously produce at least one day of perfect weather.
I have long believed that this is Heaven’s gift to the hardworking people of Japan who dedicate their weekdays to family, society, and service to others.

This year was especially striking: November 22 and 29 (Saturdays) were cloudy, yet November 23 and 30 (Sundays) were brilliantly clear.
Here, I say this to the world—to the United Nations and to Japan’s old media such as NHK and Asahi, who blindly worship that foolish institution:
“Global warming (COP) is a fraud engineered by China and the Canadian swindler Maurice Strong.”
What we perceive as “warming” is nothing more than the urban heat-island effect.
In high-latitude cities like New York, the cold is severe; while Japan remains warm, American baseball fans sit bundled in winter coats—an image familiar to anyone who follows MLB.

For over twenty years I have photographed Kyoto’s four seasons more than almost anyone alive.
If true global warming were happening, the seasonal rhythm of Kyoto—so precise it resembles scientific instrumentation—would simply not exist.

The video presented here features the breathtaking autumn colors of Hōgen-in Temple in Arashiyama, photographed yesterday.
The music is Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic performing the waltz Music of the Spheres.
This same piece was performed on November 26 at the Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre by the Tokyo College of Music High School Orchestra, with Murata Natsuho as concertmistress.
Hearing it again made me appreciate just how extraordinary their performance was—fully comparable to Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic.
With Natsuho leading the orchestra, it could not have been otherwise.
