    I played with this guy. 1 or 2 years before the pandemic.. we were with the Romanian Youth Orchestra in the Enescu Festival and I remember that he brought cookies for all the members of the orchestra (he was the soloist). Everybody loved him, as a musician as well as a human being ❤️ he is blind, indeed, but he is full of passion and talent, a piece of jewlry, proudly representing Japan on the big stages. God bless him !

    No matter how fast and accurate your fingers move on the piano, your music isn't complete without emotion.

    Music is not about notes .. it's about feelings,emotions... Touches your soul,releases your pain
  • @kayemurley
    This brought tears to my eyes before I knew he was blind, and that he wrote it for the victims of the tsunami. Beautiful. (2023).

    They always wonder who’s the pianist? But never think how’s the pianist?
  • @Die4girl
    He doesn’t need to see the world, the world needs to see him
  • @LS-ti1rz
    That was played so damned perfectly. He didn't rush not one note. The melody breathed openly, wow it twas gorgeously performed. Such passion just perfect!
  • @codyking4848
    He's not closing his eyes because he's overcome with emotion....Nobiyuki Tsujii is blind, has been since birth. How amazing is that.
  • @angusdillon8755
    If you didn’t already know - he’s also blind; that’s why he has someone to escort him on and off the stage. Truly amazing this man is!
  • @Shadenxox6
    You know damn well when a music piece can make a grown ass man cry, just shows what music truly is. Great job Nobuyuki, you might not be able to see but you are able to move emotions, and that is what a true pianist should value and prioritize.
  • So moving. When I read of its creation for the tsunami victims it had such impact on my soul. Incredibly beautiful work by an incredibly beautiful person.

    there is no race nor language barrier when it comes to music.
  • No matter how well you play, no matter how well you sing, if it doesn't resonate with people's hearts, it's not called music. This is what music is
  • Gosh, not sure I ever heard anything so passionately played on a piano. From the very first notes, he went deep into my soul with his playing. Yes, pure genius. Thank you Nobuyuki Tsujii for bringing such passion to others
