Welcome to the webpages devoted to the World Popular Song Festival Based
on Yamaha's philosophy of "sharing the joy of music with people
everywhere", the
World Popular Song Festival became in its 20-year history one of the most eagerly
anticipated and
most prestigeous song contests on the international music scene. Not
only did the original entries presented at the Festival contain a large
number of future hits every year, they
still hold today many treasured memories for people of all ages and
nationalities. May
these webpages contribute to the philosophy of Mr Genichi Kawamaki (former
President of the Yamaha Music Foundation and founder of the WPSF): "Music is the common language of all mankind. Disdaining
political and economic boundaries, the
joys of music form an instantly communicated bond between men everywhere, and
this international festival is dedicated to that spirit." |
