English translation of the article by Tetsuya T -san is here.
The August print issue of Newsweek (Japan Edition) out on August 8, 2023 contains an article describing “100 Japanese most respected overseas” chosen by the magazine. As per the promotional information (see the picture above) one of them would be Kyoto Tachibana S.H.S. Brass Band!
“A special feature of the Japanese edition of Newsweek. From artists and entrepreneurs to Ukrainian war volunteers and high school brass bands, we introduce 100 geniuses, exceptional talents, and prodigies who are shining brightly in the World in the age of conflict and post-Corona!”
You can buy the magazine from Amazon (click here) or Rakuten Books (click here).

In the US the only way bands from high schools, colleges and universities get recognition is to show skin. KT gets attention because of their talent, music and cheerful smiles…see you in Pasadena.
