I happened to make friends with Mr. Y 10 years older than me. His life style was introduced in the newspaper just after the New Year's days in 2000, and I got interested in him.
He had worked with Japan Telephone and Telegraph Public Corporation (presently, NTT). During the days, he was a member of its orchestra as a bass player.
After retirement, he has been living leisurely in comfort. He arranges a wide range of musics in MIDI style which plays with various instruments like an orchestra. MIDI is the world standard of Musical Instrument Digital Interface.
When met together, he had already been hooked on MIDI for 10 years. He can actually play various instruments, so he applies a suitable instrument for a certain music and writes a melody on a music sheet, while playing the guitar or the flute. I was really surprised to listen to his works. They were just the same with a real orchestra performance.

Since then, I often visited his house near Tsudanuma JR station in Chiba Prefecture to have his pleasant talk and enjoy his music. Around that time, I was helping the December Club start their homepage. December Club is a group of the same year at Hitotsubashi University, who graduated from the university in December ahead of March the next year due to the outbreak of the Pacific War in 1941.
Mr. Y took on the background music and created 13 musics of MIDI for me.
Thanks to him, I was able to show the homepage of their footprints during and after the war with MIDI background music at the memorial assembly in December 2001.

He created a lot of MIDI musics for me and allowed me to exhibit them just as I like. His 122 musics are in "Kenzo Yoshino's Background Music Saloon" of my homepage. (It is in "Notebook" of "Viva, Seniors!" as one of my memorable outside works.)

Among them, I picked up the following several musics related to me and school songs of my old schools as my precious memory of the unforgettable friendship with Mr. Y, thanking him from the bottom of my heart.
