'Nobu fever,' erupted immediately after Nobuyuki Tsujii's June '09 victory at the Van Cliburn Piano Competition. Though classical music is more popular in Japan than in many other countries, there has never been anything like the mania over a homegrown concert musician before. National newspapers reported his Cliburn win on the front page. More than 30 TV crews covered Tsujii's airport arrival home. Japan's Chopin Piano magazine issued a glossy, 78-page special issue about Tsujii's victory, and a publisher announced that his achievement would be noted in a new public-school textbook.
