Historical person-The HERO-

Hello, everyone. I always write about music, but today, I would like to write about a historical person.

Do you know a military commander "Tadakatsu Honda”?
He is not a daimyo. He is a vassal of Ieyasu Tokugawa. Tadakatsu is one of the “Tokugawa big four” and went into battles of 57 times throughout his life, but he was never carried a wound on his back. He was unrivaled in the battlefield. In addition, he was applauded by Nobunaga Oda that "he is the brave man who has both flower and fruit (“flower and fruit” mean his looks and ability)”.

Although he was a hero in the battlefield, in the Edo era, when the peaceful world comes, he lost a place of his activity, and it is said that he spent unfortunate later years.
He may not be a famous military commander. However, it is a military commander such as the galaxy of dignitaries.

If you know about Tadakatsu, I am happy.

One of my favorite songs

Good afternoon!! Today, I would like to write about one of my favorite songs.

It is `Kotobani-sureba`, in English, `I express my mind by a word`
This song is a set piece of the NHK national school musical contest three years ago. This music was jointly composed by the popular vocal group, Gospelers and the popular composer, Ko Matsushita.

I knew this song in NHK national school music contest three years ago. Then, I did not like it very much, but while I sang, I felt charm in this music steadily and came to like this song.
This music is one piece of the memory of high school days for me.

I think that all of you surely have it. What is one piece of the memory for you?
