Although this is not an episode of Yazawa san.
The Japanese musicians to play rock music.
It was not their original song.
It was a cover song of Western music basically.
Musicians to play original rock music songs by Japanese language.
When it appeared.
"Rock music by Japanese language is allowed?”
Controversy like this happened among the people who like rock music.
"Original is present in the other side of the sea."
Relationship of blues music and rock music at the UK.
Just maybe，it might be close.
・・・・・・・・・
"Rock 'n' roll."
Yazawa san appeared with rock music by Japanese language.
It was a headwind of course.
This is things when he was fighting against it.
(It's episode of more than 30 years ago.)
"I want to be BIG."
"I want to make money.”
He said so.
Headwind was strengthened further of course.
But he has achieved it.
"Everyone must bend their beliefs in order to live.
There is its case absolutely.
However，I don't want to do it absolutely.
I want to carry out my belief absolutely.
So，I want to be BIG.
So，I want to make money."
・・・・・・・・・
"There is a graph here."
Yazawa san said.
"If you want to achieve graduation of positive 5.
Graduation of negative 5 come with it always.
If you want to achieve graduation of positive 10.
Graduation of negative 10 come with it always.
If you don't want to make enemies.
Please you don’t anything.
Positive is zero but negative is also a zero."
Well, 2013 currently.
Musician who made the concert most at the Budokan.
It's Yazawa.

destination of the soul
Peter Barakan san of music critic of the British people who are active in Japan.
New Orleans funk and soul music etc.
Nice music that Japanese don’t know much.
He taught it to us.
He also has published of Japanese language about soul music.
I like his writings.
(Of course Japanese language)
I listened to its musics by reference to his book.
・・・・・・・・・
Although this is relying on my memory.
Barakan san said.
"When I was a child.
(at the UK of course.)
Many black music has been included in the album of the Beatles and Stones.
I liked those songs.
And they told us in detail about its their affected music.
Two or three people in the same class of the school.
There were people who are listening to such music as well as the Beatles and Stones.
I began to listen to black music with them."
This seems to have been his starting point.
"That is the difference between the UK and Japan."
Yoichi Shibuya san of music critic.
He laughed to hear it.
(I also like his writings.)
"Two or three people in the same class of the school.
They were listening to the Beatles."
・・・・・・・・・
The Budokan concert of the Beatles was a great success.
But rock music was not yet common at Japan.
About ten years later from this concert.
Situation in Japan had changed a lot.
But rock music was still the music of the West only.
"Rock of Japan.(lol)"
Such sense of Japanese people was still common.
Yazawa san appeared at that time.

i want to hold your hand
There are musician named "Eikichi Yazawa" in Japan.
Concert of the 20th anniversary from Elvis Presley's death.
Its concert was held at Wembley Arena.
He appeared in this concert as Asia representative.
"Everyone did not know me at that time of course."
Later he said so.
"Yazawa come on！"
Person who sang along with Rod Stewart san.
That's him.
"san"（さん） is honorific title of Japan
・・・・・・・・・
Yazawa san was born around the time World War II was over.
Boyhood,he was shocked to the Beatles flowing from the radio.
"I also want to be the Beatles."
He longed to Beatles.
He was a fan of Paul McCartney san in particular.
He played a base guitar and formed a band.
(main vocal was also his.)
Name of that band was "Carol".
This band was like Cavern Club era or Hamburg era of the Beatles.
He became a rock star of Japan's first in the wake of this band.
・・・・・・・・・
There is a well-known concert venue called ”the Budokan”. (武道館)
Literal translation of the Budokan is Hall of martial arts.
Artists who made the first concert here was the Beatles.
Although it is funny story if it becomes now.
"Hall of the sacred martial arts of Japan.。
Western people do a concert in its holy place.
We do not allow it absolutely."
Opposition movement such was made.
Of course，the concert took place without any problems.
Enthusiastic fans greeted them.

convenience
"Possible number as the annual tribute of this land.
It is 2000 bales up."
Kinjiro had confident like that from results of the survey.
But Annual tribute actual was set to 4000 bales.
(Around the early 18th century.
100 years ago of this era.)
"This is Annual tribute rate of 100%."
Probably，farmers feeling would have been so at that time.
Of course they were not able to pay the Annual tribute.
・・・・・・・・・
Although I thought suddenly.
Establishment of the Tokugawa regime was early 17th century.
Annual tribute rate of this hundred year.
That number was what?
If it had the Annual tribute of 4000 bales from previous.
Their situation would have worsened already.
But it was not so.
This land was the enclave of the Odawara clan originally.
Or this was a territory of the other lords.
I also do not know it now.
Anyway，it may be this land was not land of evaluation of the 4000 koku originally.
(Its size was equivalent with 4000 koku of high rank region surely.)
"The Odawara clan does branch of the Utsu family at prestigious in 4000 koku."
Just maybe,this assumption was present at the first place.
"At prestigious in 4000 koku."
This might have been very important.
Match the reality to their own convenience.
・・・・・・・・・
Going back to.
Annual tribute rice of specified amount.
They became not able to collect it quickly.
Farmers does escape from their territory.
Its incident also began occurs frequently.
Cause was obvious.
"We should reduce our Annual tribute rate to catch up with the current situation."
Finally they reached this conclusion.
However，it was not so.
For example，"Housing also convert as the field of Annual tribute target."
They tried to ride out at this situation by unreasonable tax increases.
Take from where it can not take.
Situation has deteriorated further of course.
It is 2000 bales up."

rank
"Farmland has rank of high, medium and low.
This will be a measure of its farmland crop yields.
And Annual tribute rate of its farmland is determined by this rank."
Kinjiro said so.
"However,if we increase the point of view a little.
This region is suitable for farming.
This region is not suitable for farming.
In practice,it is also exists as a matter of course."
He continued to talk.
"And unfortunately，territory of the Utsu family is region of the lowest as land of cultivation.
Crop yields of high rank farmland of this region.
This is inferior to crop yields of low rank farmland of high rank region.
But it is not taken into account at all.
High rank farmland of high rank region.
High rank farmland of low rank region.
(In practice，it is below of low rank farmland of high rank region.)
These two must pay Annual tribute of the same amount as the same high rank farmland.
Collapse of territory of the Utsu family.
It is rightly."
Kinjiro concluded so.
・・・・・・・・・
I do not understand a little.
"Rate of Annual tribute of farmland in this rank is this."
(amount of rice.）
Its farmland conditions and its farmland arable land area.
Based on it，annual tribute rate might was determined to across-the-board.
But officials(samurai) of the Utsu family absolutely know state of planting.
Because there was their territory.
"Crop yields of our territory is no 4000 koku at all."
They were understand it of course.
"We therefore reduce our Annual tribute rate to catch up with the current situation."
Naturally, they should reach this conclusion.
But it did not.
Probably they were not able to it.
"The Utsu family is the status of 4000 koku."
It has been defined so when they branch from the Odawara clan.
Yes，era was Feudal era.
Crop yields of rice.
It was important for samurai in particular.
Standing position of them in society of samurai.
(in the ruling class.)
It had been determined by their crop yields.
”We lower the Annual tribute rate.”
This is not only represent a drop in their income.
It represent a reduction in the social status of them.
This will be a measure of its farmland crop yields.
And Annual tribute rate of its farmland is determined by this rank."
Kinjiro said so.

an open secret
Few years has elapsed, boss of Kinjiro returned to Odawara on one after another.
I do not know this reason.
(One person seems to have been prone to illness.)
Person of its successor has been dispatched from Odawara of course.
But takeover of the work seems to have not performed well.
He did not understand well about the development situation of this territory.
And in fact Kinjiro also seems to have been the same situation.
"Let's understand the current situation of rural anyway."
They began the status survey in cooperation.
His name ”Yokoyama Shūhei.”
He might have been the first person among the colleagues who was understanding about Kinjiro's work.
But he also have been prone to illness.
A few years later, he died.
According to the Hōtokuki.
In later years，when Kinjiro is talking about Yokoyama.
He shed tears always.
(Tomita of author also might have heard about Yokoyama from Kinjiro.)
By the way，this change of person.
And the dispatch of a person favorable to Kinjiro.
Intention of Tadazane of the Odawara lord might have existed there.
And just maybe，at the urging from Kinjiro,this change might was carry out.
・・・・・・・・・
Results of the investigation，surprising fact was found.
Official data of public office about rural and rural reality.
(For example，the situation of the fields.)
This did not match at all.
Taxation had been run on the basis of this official data to peoples under the utsu family's dominion.
"Data is base of the reconstruction plan.
If this is wrong，making the correct reconstruction plan is impossible."
Kinjiro was recreated the new data based on the this survey.
・・・・・・・・・
"This was found by examining."
Kinjiro wrote so.
However，he may have knew from before.
(Because he was on the site always.)
Or this was an open secret.
"The administration is carried out based on the data.
And it should be the case.
But its data has been tampered with."
Just maybe，He was looking for a chance for change this justifiably.
I do not know this reason.

stranger
Kinjiro began efforts to develop territory of the Utsu family.
Initially, there was various hardships and discrepancy.
He had not been entrusted with full powers necessarily.
There was a boss of two people to him.
He was a position of responsibility of the site probably.
(Although the development plan would have planning by him.)
And of course，he was a position of officials of the Odawara clan.
"He is originally farmers."
But era was feudal era.
He seems to have been neglected so from people of under the Utsu family’s dominion.
"The government of clan lower the annual tribute rate at the time of crop failure."
Kinjiro had been negotiated so in advance with the Odawara clan.
(The Odawara clan seems to have been done parenchyma administrative of territory of the Utsu family already.)
At the beginning of the development,crop failure was expected.
"Start is very important."
When magistrate of the Odawara clan came for inspect the planting situation，Kinjiro had advise to him the reduction of annual tribute rate.
However, it was rejected.
・・・・・・・・・
Even so，Kinjiro worked on development of new field.
"Population decline."
This was the important issue of the Utsu family.
”Increasing population for ensure personnel of development of new field.”
(The including of cultivation of new field.)
This was a matter of urgency also for kinjiro's plan.
Kinjiro was to attract settlers actively.
But there was also another issue.
"Settlers is not settled in this land."
If there are another good conditions
They moved there immediately.
Rulers who was suffering population shortage.
This was issue invariant them.
And all of them was perhaps presented a good condition in the first.
Kinjiro took continuously preferential treatment to them as a countermeasure.
(Financial assistance, etc.)
・・・・・・・・・
This probably was the policy measures on purely.
But Kinjiro was a stranger at there.
Settlers were also strangers at there.
They would have been no prejudice to Kinjiro.
Kinjiro show a familiarity to them only.
Just maybe there was that.
"He is responsible for the development our land."
And this fact was present surely.
After this，trouble occured between the settlers and the original inhabitants.
