Why this artist or event matters in Japan
Attending a performance of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9, affectionately known in Japan simply as Daikoku or “The Ninth”, is one of the nation’s most cherished year-end cultural traditions. Originating in the early twentieth century, the custom of playing the Ninth in December symbolises reflection, unity, and hope for the new year. Orchestras across Japan present these concerts annually, attracting passionate audiences who fill major concert halls to hear the triumphant “Ode to Joy”.
This specific series by the Japan Philharmonic Orchestra is particularly notable because it features Conductor Laureate Ken-ichiro Kobayashi. Affectionately called “Flame Conductor” for his fiery, deeply emotional style, Ken-ichiro Kobayashi brings an extraordinary intensity to Beethoven’s masterwork. The concerts also integrate grand organ solos by Yuka Ishimaru, performing works by J.S. Bach, creating an expansive musical experience that sets this series apart from standard classical showcases.
Each evening brings a unique combination of celebrated soloists and prominent Japanese choruses, including the Tokyo College of Music Chorus, the Japan Philharmonic Association Chorus, and the Musashino Chorus. For international visitors, experiencing Beethoven’s Ninth performed by the Japan Philharmonic Orchestra in Tokyo or Yokohama provides a rare opportunity to participate in a profound Japanese cultural ritual alongside local music enthusiasts.
