You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

His father was [[Ryūnosuke Akutagawa]].

==Biography==
Akutagawa was born and raised in Tabata, [[Tokyo]], the son of writer Ryūnosuke Akutagawa.

Akutagawa studied composition with [[Kunihiko Hashimoto]], [[Kan'ichi Shimofusa]] and [[Akira Ifukube]] at the [[Tokyo University of the Arts|Tokyo Music School]]. He was one of the members of ''[[Sannin no kai]]'' (The Three) along with [[Ikuma Dan]] and [[Toshiro Mayuzumi]].

In 1954, when Japan did not have diplomatic relations with the [[Soviet Union]] yet, Akutagawa entered the Soviet Union illegally, and made friends with [[Dmitri Shostakovich]], [[Aram Khachaturian]] and [[Dmitri Kabalevsky]]. Akutagawa was the only Japanese composer whose works were officially published in the Soviet Union at that time. His 1950 ''Music for Symphony Orchestra'' reflects his love of the music of Shostakovich and Prokofiev.

Akutagawa's compositions were influenced by [[Igor Stravinsky|Stravinsky]], Shostakovich, [[Sergei Prokofiev|Prokofiev]] and [[Akira Ifukube]]. His film scores include works for directors like [[Kon Ichikawa]], [[Heinosuke Gosho]], [[Tomu Uchida]] and [[Tadashi Imai]].
[[File:Akutagawa Yasushi.jpg|thumb|Yasushi Akutagawa in 1952.]]
He was popular as a master of ceremonies of TV shows. As an educator, he devoted himself to training an amateur orchestra, Shin Kokyo Gakudan ("The New Symphony Orchestra"). Akutagawa and The [[New Symphony Orchestra]] received the 1976 [[Suntory Music Award]].

In 1990, the year after Akutagawa died, the Akutagawa Composition Award (now called the Yasushi Akutagawa Suntory Award for Music Composition) was established in his memory.
