Today, in Kiyose City, located next to Hiroshi Harada's city, a new mayor, Hiromi Harada, a member of the Japanese Communist Party, was elected.
She won by a mere 1,318 votes over the defeated incumbent mayor.
This is not the first time a member of the Japanese Communist Party has been elected as a mayor; there have been several instances of this in the past.
Incidentally, the late Yoshifumi Kondo, an animator for Studio Ghibli and a member of the Japanese Communist Party, lived in Kiyose City and belonged to the same labor union as Harada.
It should be noted that the new mayor shares the same name as Hiroshi Harada, but this is purely coincidental.

The Origin of Music

One theory about the origin of music is that "voices used to convey emotions evolved into instrumental performance."
Recent research has discovered that chimpanzees spontaneously produce sounds similar to vocal expression by tearing up floorboards in passageways to create tools, and using these tools to produce complex, structural sounds.



Incidentally, how did the first great apes, which appeared more than 20 million years ago, evolve?Fossil analysis of Maslipithecus (17-18 million years ago) suggests that great apes may have appeared and evolved not in East Africa, but in the north (near present-day Egypt). Some individuals may have remigrated to Africa.

Today, approximately 15 drummers, including Harada, gathered.
Unable to gather in one place today, they dispersed to different locations to play their drums.

The drum sound here is from Harada's playing.
The filming was done by Professor Koichi Nakano of Sophia University.
Harada played from a position away from the front of the stage partway through the performance.


The snare drum sound was played by Harada.
At the time, Harada was playing the drums right next to the crosswalk and police officer shown on screen.

From 2 to 6 seconds, Harada can be seen in the lower right corner wearing a black raincoat and playing the snare drum.
