A transcendent, superlative genius violinist appears once every hundred years.
Heifetz.
Neveu.
And Natsuho.

In Japan today, following the great world-class violinists of the past, Japan is producing an astonishing number of brilliant, gifted violinists—Natsuho, Himari, Rino Yoshimoto, etc., etc.—too many to list.
This is nothing other than a manifestation of Japanese culture and civilization, passed down in an unbroken continuum since the age of Murasaki Shikibu and Sei Shōnagon.
When it comes to the fact that women have long been cherished, this has been true since the very beginning of the Japanese nation.
In that sense, it is no exaggeration to say that all of them are Amaterasu Ōmikami.
And now, even in the political world, at last, a prime minister has emerged—Sanae Takaichi—possessing outstanding ability, decisive leadership, the spirit of a true patriot, and genuine elegance.

The Kansai Philharmonic New Year Concert starting at 3 p.m. today, at Kadoma Lumière Hall, Large Hall, with soprano Miku Yasukawa, was also truly magnificent.

Japan is a country where superb concert halls exist throughout the nation, in every corner.
There is no other country like this anywhere in the world.
