| "Tout-Tout Ensemble" for Schoolchildren |
| NHK Educational TV Program "Tout-Tout Ensemble" for Schoolchildren broadcasted in Japan, April 1997 to March 1998 |
| Masahiro Saitoh Plays the role of 'KEY-BOUZU'. Bouzu in Japanese means a monk. In this program, KEY-BOUZU is dressed with purple kimono, monk's vest with keyboard patterns, a wide belt with musical notations, and a pair of yellow-frame glasses. He introduces the joy of music to children as a monk living deep in the forest. Every day, friends visit KEY-BOUZU to play chamber music with him. Among the friends were such distinguished musicians as Hiroko Nakamura, Mariko Senju, and Shinobu Satoh that the program enjoyed a great popularity not only as educational but also as a high-quality classical music program across the generations. A three-year-old viewer sent a comment to a newspaper expressing that "my dream is to become a KEY-BOUZU when I grow up". Because of the nation-wide support for the program, the program was extended for another year. Even after the extension, the NHK organized "KEY-BOUZU Concert" tour across the nation and a record 25,000 people attended this event in some city. |

"Every beginner of piano should visualize himself performing his favorite music in front of the audience. With this image, what appears to be dry and mechanical finger training becomes a means of self realization. " "There is no difference between a world-famous pianist and a person who tries to play the piano for the first time. Everyone loves the piano and therefore is motivated to play the piano. Please take a challenge and play the music you adore on the piano. It will make your self shine and enrich your life. That is the power of the piano." (From NHK textbook) |
