♪ This is why Nobu doesn't and shouldn't do autographs ...
Nobu does not usually do autographs, for a good reason - it takes him considerable effort to do so ... and then when he does make an exception, people turn around and sell it for profit. It saddens me.

期末試験も無事に終わり、春休みになりました。
水曜日から毎晩飲み会だったので体調があまりよくない（笑）
昨日、今日ととても寒いので、風邪をひかないように気をつけないと。
Final exam also end safely, I became a spring break.
Is not very good physical condition because it was drinking party every night from Wednesday (laughs)
Yesterday, it was so cold today that one must be careful not to catch a cold.
なんだかんだで春休みに突入したわけなんですが、あまり長期休みって感覚がない･･･
いつのまにか休みが終わってたってことにならないように、やることはしっかりやろうと思います。
Somehow spring break came suddenly and there is no sense of me of too long a vacation ...
[I think I will try to get some rest and something done.] (not sure about translation)
今日は久しぶりにピアノも弾きました。
タイトルはベートーベンの悲愴第二楽章の主題ですね。
ベートーベンの曲は難しいけれど聴いていてとても気持ちいいですよね。
I was also playing piano for the first time in a long time today.
Second movement of Beethoven's Pathetique.
Although it is very pleasant to listen to this work, but difficult to play.
そういえば年明けに地元で辻井伸行のショパンリサイタルがあって行ってきました。
大好きなバラード1番4番も聴けたし、アンコールでラ・カンパネラの生演奏も聴けて幸せな時間でした。
あんくらい弾けたら楽しんだろうな～。
Speaking of which I went to a local Chopin recital of Nobuyuki Tsujii around New Year.
It was a happy time. I loved listening to the ballade no. 1 and 4, and also the La Campaneela in encore.
Also I was listen love ballad No. 1 No. 4, it was a happy time in listen also live music of La Campanella encore.
[I think I would have enjoyed a long dark work]
まぁ、とりあえず。
一日一日を無駄にせず、精進していきたいと思います。
それでは。
Well, for the time being.
I want to cherish every day.

A while back there was some hoopla about Nobu's piano music (playing a piece titled "Journey") appearing at the end of the ongoing NHK drama series "Sanada Maru." This Japan Times article does not mention Nobu nor the soundtrack music, but after reading it I now understand why Nobu was enlisted -- perhaps in hope of boosting the show's rating. TV ratings ... the bane of civilization ... I am so glad that I no longer watch television.

♪ January 24 Lots of tickets remain for Nobu's April Liverpool performances
Where are the classical music fans in Liverpool? I just checked tickets sales for Nobu's April 21 (Thursday) & 22 (Friday) performances of Beethoven's 'Emperor' with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic. Sad to say, there are LOTS of empty seats, especially for the Friday performance. Then again that seems to be the norm with every classical music concert at that venue, including ones conducted by Vasily Petrenko. When I was there in Fall 2014 for Nobu's performance, the house was full both times. What's going on?
April 21 (Thursday) & 22 (Friday) Liverpool Philharmonic Hall (1,693 seats)
Darrell Ang conducts Beethoven Piano Concerto No.5 ‘Emperor
Mr. Robin Bloxsidge posted a thoughtful response on the Nobuyuki Tsujii fans facebook page
As someone who is almost totally devoted to the Liverpool Philharmonic, I am disappointed by every concert that sells badly - and there are some with very poor sales. That happens, however, in all venues and with all orchestras and I am most sorry for the people who miss wonderful performances of wonderful music. In general, though, I think you are exaggerating the extent of poor ticket sales across the whole programme in Livepool where we have better sales than in many venues (Vasily's concert last Thursday was completely sold out and so have others). Specifically, looking at the advance sales for Nobu's two concerts: the Thursday concert will probably be quite good given that it's 3 months away and a lot of people won't yet have bought tickets for the second half of the season. Friday, though, does look pretty bad and this will be very disappointing if it does not improve a lot, especially given Nobu's popularity the last time he was in Liverpool and Darrell Ang's success the last time he conduced here. I will refer your comments to the Marketing Department of Liverpool Philharmonic.
Three Nobu CDs on Billboard Japan classical chart
January 27
Something for a slow news day. Nobu's "The Best" album (issued 2014, 37 weeks on the chart) was in 2nd place on the latest Japan Billboard Classical Chart (just behind the Vienna Phil New Years album and ahead of the album of the 2015 Chopin Competition winner Seong-Jin Cho. Two other Chopin CDs by Nobu are also on the chart, including his "My Favorite Chopin" (44 weeks on the chart).http://dot.asahi.com/billboardnews/2016012700111.html
... 第2位には、辻井伸行によるベストアルバム『THE BEST』がチャートイン。37回目のチャートインとなった。同時に12位に2010年リリースの『マイ・フェイヴァリット・ショパン』が、20位に去年 リリースした『ショパン：ピアノ・ソナタ第２番、第３番』がチャートインし、1月6日を皮切りに現在ツアー中の「ショパン・リサイタル」の影響が大きく見 えるチャートインとなった。本ツアーは1月と3月後半に行われるため、この期間中はまだまだ辻井のショパンがチャートを賑わす存在になりそうだ。... In the second place is NObuyuki Tsujii's "The Best" album, 37 weeks on the chart. At the same time, his 2010 release "MyFavorite Chopin" in the 2010 is at 12th place, and his "Chopin Sonata No. 2 & 3" at 20th place. The influence of the ongoing "Chopin Recital" tour which started on January 6 has become a big factor on the chart. Since this tour is to take place in late January and again in March, during this period it can be expected that Mr. Tsujii's Chopin will continue to have a presence to enliven the chart.

ピアニスト辻井伸行さんの柔らかで透明な音に心を揺さぶられるわけ(041)
The soft and transparent sound of Nobuyuki's pianist Tsujii shook my mind
年末年始BS-TVがベートーベン生誕の地を訪れるピアニスト辻井伸行さんを取り上げていました。
New Year BS-TV was showing pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii's visit to the land of Beethoven's birth.
著者が西洋音楽を聴くようになったのは、比較的自分の時間をコントロールできるようになった５８歳以降でした。
I started listening to Western music [a long time ago] and now that I am 58 years old I have more control of my life.
自分の時間を制御しにくい営業職をやっていると音楽を聴きにいく時間を持てない人が大半だと思います。
People who not have the time to go to listen to music I think are mostly those who are in you're difficult sales positions that little control of their time.
久々の041話はピアニスト辻井伸行さんの「魂と心と技術」の三つが合わさった「心をゆさぶる音楽性」について触れます。
In [a previous post] I mention the three elements, "soul and mind and technique" in pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii's "music that shakes the heart".
昨年年１１月、辻井さんとゲルギエフ指揮ミュンヘンフィルハーモニーの共演を聴く幸運があり、目の不自由な辻井さんが晩年聴力を失ったベートーウ"ェンのピアノ協奏曲第５番皇帝を聴きました。
In November last year, I was fortunatee to listen to the co-starring of Tsujii and Valery Gergiev conducting the Munich Philharmonic, listening to the "Emperor" concerto by Beethoven, who lost his hearing late in his life.
辻井さんは、耳が不自由にもかかわらず、すごい作品を沢山書いたベートーウ"ェンからエネルギーをもらっている、、と
いつもの通り謙虚に述べてます。
Mr. Tsujii said in interviews that he is always humbed by the energy of Beethoven who produced amazing composiitons despite the inconvenience of [his loss of hearing] .
著者は、弱音の美しさが際立つ第２楽章に入ると経験したことがない何かを感じ始めていました。
This writer bean to feel something unexpected in the second movement: the beauty of the muted sound in the second movement stood out.
辻井さんの柔らかな指使いが弦楽器と溶け合うように迫ってきて涙が溢れ出したのです。
Tsujii's soft fingering melt together with the stringed instrument. I was overflowing with tears.
自分だけの感情なのか？と疑い眺めの良い２階席から見渡すと驚くことに涙を流している聴衆が沢山いたのです。
And it seemed I was not the only one who felt so. I looked around and was surprised to see a lot of tears from an audience on the second floor with good view.
著者これは何故だろう？と思いました。
この曲を書いたベートーウ"ェンへの深い想いが人並みを超えていたのだ！！と気がつきました。
I wondered why? Deep feelings for Beethoven who wrote this work!!
辻井さんの魂と心と技術が聴衆の心を揺さぶったのだと思います。
Mr. Tsujii's shook the hearts of the audience with his soul and mind and technique.
辻井さんは東日本大震災の被災者に対する想いが深く沢山作曲してます。
音楽は過去に向かって進んでいく、、とよく言われます。
被災者を想う深さが静かで透明な旋律となって心を打つのだと思います。
Tsujii has composed a work of deep feelings for the victims of the Great East Japan Earthquake.
Music, it is often said, reminds you of the past.
I think the depth of his feelings for the victims strike our hearts with its quiet and transparent melody.
圧倒的に６０歳代の聴衆を見ると、
時間もなく高いチケット代が経済的負担である若者にとって「芸術に触れることは何のメリットあるのか？」
いつも考えさせられます。
When I see in the audience overwhelmingly people of 60 years of age, I am forced to think that we are depriving our young people of the benefit of the arts because of the burden of time and high ticket fees.
一流の音や旋律を聴くことで、心の響きの敏感性を育むのではないかと思うのです
Listening to first-class sound and melody, I think it nurtures the sensitivity of the heart

Today the first episode of the "taiga" drama series was aired on NHK, which drew lots of comments, such as these:
#真田丸 音楽も素晴らしいですね、テーマ音楽の三浦文章 さんの力強いソロヴァイオリン、紀行の辻井伸行さんの情感豊かなピアノ…クラシック戦国時代（?!）の溢れ出す若き才能の競演♪ # Sanada Maru music was also great. Theme music of Fukuima Miura's powerful solo violin. Mr. Nobuyuki Tsujii's "journey" piano is rich in emotion. Classic Warring period piece(?!) Overflowing young talents!
今日の大河ドラマはピアノが印象的であった。とおもったら辻井伸行さんでした。なんだろね、同じ楽器を弾いても音色は違う。不思議だけど、わるくない。Today's Sanada Maru, the dramatic piano was impressive. I believe it was Mr. Nobuyuki Tsujii. I wonder, the tone seems different today even though the instrument is the same. It is strange, and not bad.
辻井伸行さんのピアノ本当にいいな・・。軽やか・・！Nobuyuki Tsujii's piano is really good ... shimmering··!

"Sanada Maru"
Pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii's performance will also take part !
1月10日放送開始のNHK大河ドラマ「真田丸」に世界的ピアニスト辻井伸行もピアノ演奏で参加することがわかった。
The NHK drama series "Sanada Maru", whose broadcast starts on January 10, will include a piano performance of pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii.
真田丸の音楽は「HERO」「半沢直樹」「下町ロケット」など、注目のドラマや映画の音楽で飛ぶ鳥を落とす勢いの大活躍をみせている服部隆之。
The movie music for "Sanada Maru," such as "HERO", "Naoki Hanzawa" and "downtown rocket" by Takayuki Hattori is showing a big success and has generated great interest for the drama.
オープニングを飾るテーマ曲は、若干16歳で世界的コンクールで優勝を果たした新進気鋭のヴァイオリニスト三浦文彰がつとめるが、辻井伸行が番組の最後に放送される大河ドラマの舞台のゆかりの地を紹介する「紀行」の音楽をピアノ演奏する。
The show's opening theme music is performed by rising violinist Fumiaki Miura, who won a global competition [The Honover Violin Competition] at the age of 16. Nobuyuki Tsujii's performance of "Journey" on the piano will be heard at the end of the program .
勇ましい大河ならではのテーマ曲を服部自身がバラード調にアレンジしたピアノソロ曲は、ドラマと共に大きな話題を集めそうだ。
The piano solo ballad of the drama's unique theme song, arranged by [composer] Hattori, is likely to generate great interest along with the drama.
[Editorial note:
Nobu and violinist Fumiaki Miura are performing in Japan this February on a sold-out "Ultimate Concerto" tour.
Nobu is not listed on the Music section of the Sanada Maru show, which is headlined by veteran film music composer 服部隆之 Takayuki Hattori -- Nobu's participation apparently is a late addition.]

ミュンヘン・フィルハーモニー管弦楽団 日本公演2015 レポート
Munich Philharmonic Orchestra Japan Tour 2015 report
ドイツ屈指の名門オーケストラ、ミュンヘン・フィルハーモニー管弦楽団が全国６公演の日本ツアーを行いました。
指揮は、2015年9月からミュンヘン・フィルの首席指揮者に就任したロシアの巨匠、ワレリー・ゲルギエフ。首席指揮者就任の披露公演となったこの日本ツアーは、新たなシェフを得た楽団の鮮烈な響きを聴くまたとない機会。
The prestigious and leading orchestra of Germany, the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra, gave a nationwide Japan tour in 6 performances.
The performances were under the baton of the Russian maestro Valery Gergiev, who was appointed Chief Conductor of the Munich Philharmonic since September 2015. This Japan tour was a showcase and a unique opportunity to listen to the vivid sound of the orchestra under the newly inaugurated Chief Conductor.
ミュンヘン・フィルがチェリビダッケと築いた黄金時代のDNAが脈打つブ ルックナー。ご当地ミュンヘン生まれの作曲家リヒャルト・シュトラウス、ドイツ音楽の神髄ベートーヴェン。そしてロシア音楽の中枢をなす作曲家たち、チャ イコフスキー、プロコフィエフ、ショスタコーヴィチ。
The Munich Philharmonic was built in the golden age of the DNA of Bruckner.
Composer Richard Strauss was Munich-born, and Beethoven is the essence of German music. And at the center of it are composers of Russian music: Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev, and Shostakovich.
まさにロシアの巨匠ゲルギエフとドイツの名門ミュンヘン・フィルだからこそ実現する、理想的なプログラム。
ソリストには、2012年「白夜の星音楽祭」以来ゲルギエフと共演を重ねてきたピアニスト、辻󠄀井伸行を迎えました。ゲルギエフとの日本初共演で披露したのは、ピアノ協奏曲の傑作、ベートーヴェンの『皇帝』。
日本を代表するピアニストとして国際的に躍進を続ける辻󠄀井伸行の本領発揮となる特別な公演となりました。
The ideal concert program was achieved with the Russian maestro Valery Gergiev and the the prestigious Munich Philharmonic of Germany.
The soloist pianist has performed with Maestro Gergiev repeatedly since 2012, when they gave an acclaimed performance at the "White Nights of Stars Music Festival." This tour was their first co-appearance in Japan, and it showcased the piano concerto masterpiece of Beethoven's "Emperor."It was a special performance for Nobuyuki Tsujii to develop his real ability as a pianist and to continue his momentum as an international pianist representing Japan.
There is also a YouTube video of an interview with Nobu, in Japanese
スペシャルインタビュー 辻󠄀井伸行
ミュンヘン・フィルハーモニー管弦楽団 日本公演2015のソリストとして舞台に立ったピアニスト、辻󠄀井伸行の特別インタビュー。日本公演までのエピソードやニューBMW 7 シリーズの魅力を語ります
Special interview of Nobuyuki Tsujii
We talk with the pianist soloist on the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra 2015 Japan Tour about the charm of the performances and the new BMW 7 series.
I have heard from Nobu fans in Japan about some of what Nobu said in the video:
About his 2016 plan: "He talks about 'All-Chopin recital'. This is the first time that he is challenging himself to perform Chopin's four ballads. He always enjoy playing a new repertoire."
"Nobu (or maybe his parents) just bought a BMW and it's funny that he enjoys its massaging seats."
♪ Nobu is the subject of an upcoming doctoral examination at the University of British Columbia (UBC)
Friday, 29 January

Department: Centre for Cross-Faculty Inquiry in Education
Different Eyes, Ears, and Bodies: Pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii and the Education of the Sensorium Through Musical Performance
In 2013, Mr. Honisch invited Nobu to the university -- an event described in this blog post and also on this page on this site.
Apparently Mr. Honisch has now finished his dissertation and will defend it at a doctoral examination held on January 29. I believe this article by Mr. Honisch runs close to his dissertation: here
Our best wishes to Mr. Honisch!
