From the Editor The Travel Diary will have a first anniversary on December 15, 1999 (The trial started from December 1, 1998.) During the period, data volume has become huge. The server which opens my homepage now suffers from its bigness. As the data was not spread to many folders, number of files in a single directory becomes too much. So the construction of the diary will be changed starting from December 15, 1999. The action is to increase the number of folders so that number of files of a single directory would be kept small. The operation by the readers does not change at all. But the following points will be changed. I would like to get your understanding and cooperation. * On the calender, the color of the dates which
you opened has changed from light blue to gray. But all these
will be back to the original blue until you reopen them. But as a whole the volume of data have become too big, CD Rom copied from Diary will be distributed to those who want to have it. This is to reduce the burdens on the server as well as personal computers. Thank you. |
When the sun rose from east sky, it had a beautiful morning red in sky. It was fine and warm day in winter.

The final subscription concert of the year by NHK Symphony Orchestra was held this eveningiPardon me I wrote wrongly that the concert on November 19 was the final one.) Leif Ove Andsnes, piano, who coplayed with Maestro Charles Dutoit the Beethoven's Piano Concert No. 5, was born and bred in Norway, 29 years old. He has not the prize winner of famous international music contest. But he made hard efforts to master piano during a student of music university resulted in a big debut without having any title. |
In Japan, it is a necessary condition to become a top rated artist that he/she wins the prizes at the famous international music contests. But in western countries there are a few artists who plays actively and people received them as brilliant musicians. Japanese music society has not been able to select music talents by themselves, because there is inferiority complex toward western music in players as well as listners, I presume.
