Nobuyuki Tsujii was perhaps the only classical music representative at this event.
He played the first movement of Beethoven's Moonlight sonata.

とても楽しい時間をありがとうございました。
どのアーティストの方もとても素晴らしい演奏と歌で、なんて豪華で贅沢なフェスなんだろうと！
特に辻井伸行さんはクラッシック界から異色の参戦で驚きましたが、「月光」を弾いてくださるサービス精神も嬉しかったですし、本当に心に染みる演奏でした。もし可能ならば、来年のツアー、辻井伸行さんの月光でメンバーが登場して欲しいです
Thank you for a very good time.
What a gorgeous and luxurious festival that these artists have performed and sung!
I was especially surprised by the unusual participation of Nobuyuki Tsujii from the classical world, but I was also happy with the service spirit of his playing "Moonlight" and it was a performance that really touched my heart. If possible, I would like the members [of the rock group 'Luna Sea' who initiated the event] to appear with Nobuyuki Tsujii's moonlight on next year's tour.

♪ Coming to PBS in May 2020: Nobuyuki Tsujii "Touching the Sound"
I was fortunate enough to be among the first who saw the film "Touching the Sound, the Improbable Journey of Nobuyuki Tsujii" when it premiered in New York City in April 2014. It is the third production about Nobuyuki Tsujii by renowned documentary maker Peter Rosen, preceded by the 2009 Cliburn Competition documentary "A Surprise in Texas" and the 2011 film Nobuyuki Tsujii live at Carnegie Hall.
"Touching the Sound" is a portrait of Nobuyuki Tsujii up to year 2013 (age 25). It has been screened worldwide, most recently at the Musee Guimet in Paris on January 12 2020. In the U.S., it is being shown nationwide for the first time, next month (May 2020), on PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) stations.
Time flies. Six years have passed since the premiere of this film, since when the star of Nobuyuki Tsujii has further risen, especially in his native Japan. The film is a nostalgic lookback of Nobu's early days. Among other points of interest: you will see Nobu's childhood family photos; footage explaining how he learns music without being able to see a music score; scenes of his U.S. performances -- his Carnegie Hall debut recital and his 2013 U.S. tour; and an endearing closing scene of Nobu -- in shorts and tee shirt -- wading into the Atlantic Ocean. There is also footage of the 2011 earthquake/tsunami that devastated eastern Japan, and of the homage paid by Nobu to the victims.
This is a quietly affecting film that should help to uplift spirits in these trying days of the COVID-19 pandemic.

What keeps you happy in #CoronavirusLockdown? If you were Nobuyuki Tsujii, you get your favorite Steinway & Sons antique piano delivered to your home: 1929 New York Steinway M170 Louis XV model -- , "came to the Tsujii family through various hands". It is a very elegant grand piano of polished brown wood, with cat legs and a harp sculpture above the three pedals. (Source: Instagram by Mrs. Itsuko Tsujii https://instagram.com/p/CAZReuhjcmb/)
♪ May 19 Devastating news:
[Picture: Edvard Munch The scream]
So much for my faint hope that concerts would come back soon -- the COVID-19 pandemic is really wreaking havoc with the fragile classical music concert industry.
Two major upcoming tours of Nobu have now been canceled/postponed.
Posted on the Official Nobuyuki Tsujii website:
[translated from Japanese]
♪ July All Beethoven Premium Recitals postponed/cancelled
Discussion is ongoing with related parties to implement the “Sekisui Heim presents Nobuyuki Tsujii Premium Recital 2020” scheduled for July 2 to 21, 2020,, but in order to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus infection, we have decided to postpone or cancel the performance in consideration of the safety of customers and performers.
Once the details are decided, we will inform you again on this site.
We deeply apologize to the customers who were looking forward to the performance, and we ask for your understanding.
♪ 2020 Japan Tour with Vasily Petrenko & RLPO cancelled
The Japan tour of "Vasily Petrenko conducting the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra & Nobuyuki Tsujii (piano)was scheduled for September 13-21 2020
We have held continued discussions with all parties concerned to implement the tour, but due to the judgment that it will be difficult for artists from overseas to come to Japan, we will cancel the performance.
We deeply apologize to the customers who were looking forward to the performance, and we ask for your understanding.
This is sad news for us Nobu fans, but even more so for the Liverpool Phil and all orchestras -
Nobu is re-scheduled to perform with the RLPO in Liverpool next year, but the fate of this Japan tour is highly doubtful, given Mo. Petrekno is ending his tenure with the orchestra after the 2020-21 season.

Latest video posted on the Nobuyuki Tsujii 辻井伸行official YouTube Channel, a rendition of a song 「春よ、来い」"Come, Spring" by venerated Japanese singer/composer Yuming Yumi Matsutoya (松任谷由实)-- age 66. I believe it's a famous song in Japan, to be sung along with lyrics displayed on screen; but it is an acquired taste for the rest of us :-)
(Nobu loves these old-fashioned songs ... this video is right up his alley, even if it might not appeal to classical music purists :-)

Toyoe Niimi commented on Facebook:
Gorgeous flowers!! I love his smiling face as well as wearing jeans pants! I also love his playing the piano but might as well spend his time with his family!
And I replied:
Usually Nobu is on tour overseas in May. I remember he was performing in Germany one yea on Mother's Day. I was there too and I remember that Mr. Asano thank me for reminding him and Nobu that it was Mother's Day!

YouTubeでピアニスト辻井伸行氏の演奏を見る。余りの素晴らしい演奏に、涙が出てくる。彼の指は、彼の心、そのままだ。目が見えないハンデを、彼は耳の記憶で充分過ぎる程に、乗り越える。それをひたすらの演奏技術の練習によって獲得した指が、ピアノの鍵盤に伝える。ピアノが歌いだす。なにか、違うものを聞いている気分になる。この世のものでない世界に誘われる。涙が溢れる。こういう人を天才っていうのかな。#イラスト好き
Watched the pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii's wonderful performances on YouTube. Tears. His fingers are his heart. He overcame the handicap of blindness by superb hearing. Fingers acquire performance technique through practice. The piano begins to sing. I feel like I have heard something different. You are invited to a world that is not part of this world. Tears overflow. I wonder if such a person is called a genius. #IllustrationOfLove

I came upon this today in my news search: A Nobuyuki Tsujii "辻井伸行 Official Channel" on YouTube.
