昭和天皇追悼演奏会 NHK交響楽団
第三曲 弦楽のためのアダージョ/サミュエル・バーバー Samuel Barber – Adagio for Strings
昭和天皇（しょうわてんのう）は、日本の第124代天皇。
1901年（明治34年）4月29日生、1989年（昭和64年）1月7日没。在位は1926年（大正15年）12月25日 – 1989年（昭和64年）1月7日。諱は裕仁（ひろひと）。幼少時の称号は迪宮（みちのみや）、お印は若竹（わかたけ）。
Hirohito (裕仁), also known as Emperor Showa or the Shōwa Emperor (昭和天皇, Shōwa tennō?), (April 29, 1901 — January 7, 1989) was the 124th emperor of Japan according to the traditional order, reigning from December 25, 1926, until his death in 1989. Although better known outside of Japan by his personal name Hirohito, in Japan he is now referred to exclusively by his posthumous name Emperor Shōwa. The word Shōwa is the name of the era that corresponded with the Emperor’s reign, and was made the Emperor’s own name upon his death.
At the start of his reign, Japan was already one of the great powers – the 9th largest economy in the world after Italy, the 3rd largest naval country and one of the five permanent members of the council of the League of Nations. He was the head of state under the limitation of the Constitution of the Empire of Japan during Japan’s militarization and involvement in World War II. After the war, he was not prosecuted (as others were). During the postwar period, he became the “symbol” of the new state.
