Seiji Ozawa passes away. Voices of mourning from a junior high school in Nagano's Yamanouchi town, where he continued to interact.

Mr. Ozawa's last visit to the school was in 2017, seven years ago, due to his poor health, but the concerts continued. In 2015, the ``OZAWA ROOM'' was set up in the school building to display items related to Mr. Ozawa, including photographs, colored paper, and autographed skis.
