Professor Takeshi Kobayashi was a leading and representative figure in interpretation of Japan. He passed awaysuddenly on March 13th in 2013 at the age of 55. This paper describes a brief history of interpretation in Japan, following thesteps that Professor Kobayashi had taken in the field of interpretation and environmental education. Professor Kobayashistarted his interpretation career at the Takao Visitor Center as a ranger of the Nature Conservation Society of Japan in 1983.He established the Center for Environmental Studies in order to focus on nature interpretation in 1988. He had also coordinatedthe Japan-U.S. Interpreter Training Seminar, which was jointly supported by the U.S. National Park Services, since 1995 anddeveloped a number of other interpreter training programs in Japan. He played a central role in those training courses in 1990s and 2000s of Japan, during which the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports,Science and Technology were active in offering training for interpreters and outdoor educators. He became a professor at theGifu Academy of Forest Science and Culture in 2005 and a professor at the Department of Animal Sciences, the Faculty ofLife and Environmental Sciences, Teikyo University of Science in 2010. He developed courses for instructors and trainers ofenvironmental education and interpretation. Professor Kobayashi helped offering opportunities for domestic and internationalinterpreters to meet and to develop network. He had been engaged in developing interpretation through projects and events,human resource development, and networking, and greatly contributed to the enhancement of interpretation in Japan till thelast day.

Budgerigars use contact calls and warble-songs. Previous studies have found that they acquire these songs through vocallearning, but to date, there have been no long term experimental studies of their vocalizations or social interactions. Thepurpose of this study was to establish a basic understanding of budgerigar vocal ethnology. We recorded all sounds made byfour budgerigars (male=4, female=3) kept in separate cages in a same experimental box for fixed periods (12-h light/darkcycle). There was great diurnal variation in vocalizations, but the variation decreased from lights up to off and during thelights-off period. The variation in vocalizations was also positively related to changes in humidity. The frequency of soundsproduced by the group of males was higher than that of the group of males and females mixed together. The response rate forcontact call varied among individuals which suggests that hierarchy existed in vocal communication. However, the hierarchychanged depending on the membership in a group.
