Notes Japanese Synthesist Isao Tomita, best known for his reworkings of orchestral showpieces like Gustav Hoist's The Planets: "In this computer age, the question of whether you can play traditional instruments must never be the major factor in qualifying yourself as a musician or composer...
...Nicklaus was tied for the lead the first day, but was alone at the top through the remaining three rounds. His score after each round was a new tournament record, and he needed every stroke to stave off the direct challenge of his surprising playing partner, Japan's Isao Aoki.

"It was an accident, an utterly senseless accident, that Kiyoaki and Isao and Ying Chan had all appeared beside Honda... Eternity does not come into being because I think I exist," the old man reflects. Struck by the final challenge of Satoko's denial of Kiyoaki's existence, Honda sits in the abbey garden...
