Dear Dr. Andreas Eckhard
I am the movie producer and film director of Japan.
I have come to make the picture concerning Beethoven recently.
I do the letter because I do sometimes want inform it to your organization.
The atomic bomb was dropped in Hiroshima of Japan in 6th in August in 1945.
Many harmless people made about 140,000 moments and died.
And 250,000 people are passing away with the atomic disease by the present.
It was possible 1 music coffee shop in the town of Hiroshima where is contaminated to
the radioactivity and became burned fields in 1946 years in next year.
This music coffee shop honor is Mr. Yoshio Yanagawa.
Although he lost the father and brother with an atomic bomb believing the power that music
has this store was opened.
He liked music originally.
Music Coffee Shop 'MUSHIKA' was opened in the ground of Hiroshima where even plants
were said that do not grow in 100 years after the atomic bomb drop.
And it was the era without a commodity for after the Second World War.
Besides it may be said that Hiroshima at that time has nothing.
And Mr. Yoshio Yanagawa has darkness rice to the port called Kobe where even 300 k of traffic parted the middle of inconvenience and going to request the record disk. And, it seeks the 9th (the chorus) of Beethoven and get it and he has come back.
This chorus tune 9th has been heard from the small music tea drinking of middle Hiroshima of the climate that the new year's eve, little snow in the year fall.
The record disk is a Grammophon label with the direction, Oskar Fried of production in 1924.
Even the people of Hiroshima without that who heard even the classic music, be healed heart to the music that effuses from the coffee shop and was given the hope and courage that are living.
And, it becomes the power of the restoration of Hiroshima and be continued 60 several years and the 9th is about to depend on the record disk and CD without fail in the coffee shop in the new year's eve the present even.
Many people who do not know the 2nd world war the soul of the thought and also his soul and deceased Mr. Yanagawa to the 9th of peaceful and Beethoven cross and feel the fact that caused the miracle and sends the year solemnly.
We planned the movie production that should paint this history and two of soul and entered into preparation. It is taken up to the newspaper largely also in Tokyo also in Hiroshima.
This case I am the fact of this miracle the details that contacted extremely an information petition toward the fan of Beethoven of the world from your organization by all means.
If this movie finishes this title names 'MUSHIKA the concert of soul'.
I think that I want to devote this movie to Beethoven and Mr. Yanagawa I do not insert the era in a consideration.
I praise it as the deed that became the source of the soul of Hiroshima restoration.
Looking forward to read from you.
With my best regards,
Ippei Kobayashi
