Opening Address

Hear ye, hear ye—welcome, everyone. The New Year festivities have ended, and once again we are beginning the year's work in peace. Time has passed quickly: this is already the third year since the start of the concerts celebrating the 120th anniversary of Masao Koga's birth. Truly, “songs are gifts of their times.” The weight carried by the history of song remains ever more deeply in people's hearts as the ages change, becoming an enduring “history of the heart.” Conscious of this, we too continue to present new works, appearing repeatedly on YouTube with historical popular songs and giving vigorous voice to them. All this is thanks to your support.

Our featured performer, Jun Hayama, sings while operating piano, Electone, and synthesizer. A rare presence in the industry, Jun has attracted attention, and the well-received new songs have become a CD. Hirano has been extremely busy with performances since last year, while Yamashita will graduate this spring as concertmaster of the distinguished Meiji University Mandolin Club. It is a brilliant professional debut for these young musicians. We ask you all for your continued encouragement this year.

An auspicious day in January 2026
Seishu Hamano, President of Japan Romanticism Academia
