Honshu

Honshu (本州, Honshū, literally "Main Island" or "Main Province") ([hoɴꜜɕɯᵝː]) is the largest and most populous island of Japan. The nation's main island, it is south of Hokkaido across the Tsugaru Strait, north of Shikoku across the Inland Sea, and northeast of Kyushu across the Kanmon Straits. It is the seventh largest island in the world, and the second most populous after Java.

It had a population of 103 million in 2005, mostly concentrated in the available lowlands, notably in the Kantō plain where 25% of the total population resides in the Greater Tokyo Area, which includes Tokyo and Yokohama, Kawasaki, Saitama and Chiba cities. Most of the nation's industry is located along the belt running from Tokyo along Honshu's southern coastal cities, including Kyoto, Osaka, Nagoya, Kobe, and Hiroshima, part of the Taiheiyō Belt.

The economy along the northwestern coast by the Sea of Japan is largely based on fishing and agriculture;Niigata is noted as an important producer of rice. The Kantō and Nōbi plains produce rice and vegetables. Yamanashi is a major fruit-growing area, and Aomori is famous for its apples.

Japan (ⁱ/dʒəˈpæn/; Japanese: 日本 Nippon [nip̚põ̞ɴ] or Nihon [nihõ̞ɴ]; formally 日本国 Nippon-koku or Nihon-koku, "State of Japan") is an island country in East Asia. Located in the Pacific Ocean, it lies to the east of the Sea of Japan, the East China Sea, China, North Korea, South Korea and Russia, stretching from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and Taiwan in the south. The kanji that make up Japan's name mean "sun origin", and Japan is often called the "Land of the Rising Sun".

Japan is a stratovolcanic archipelago of 6,852 islands. The four largest are Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Shikoku, which make up about ninety-seven percent of Japan's land area. Japan's population of 126 million is the world's tenth largest. Approximately 9.1 million people live in Tokyo, the capital city of Japan, which is the sixth largest city proper in the OECD. The Greater Tokyo Area, which includes Tokyo and several surrounding prefectures, is the world's largest metropolitan area with over 35 million residents and the world's largest urban agglomeration economy.

'Honshu' is featured as a movie character in the following productions:

Marco Polo (2007)

Actors: Krista Johnston (miscellaneous crew), Michael Chow Man-Kin (actor), Robert Halmi Sr. (producer), Ken Thorne (composer), Alan Shearman (actor), Kevin Connor (director), Melissa Sue Anderson (actress), Robert Halmi Sr. (producer), Rodger Bumpass (actor), Robert Halmi Jr. (producer), Brian Dennehy (actor), Ian Somerhalder (actor), Matthew O'Connor (producer), BD Wong (actor), Kay Tong Lim (actor),

Plot: Assigned to accompany two priests on a mission to convert the court of Kublai Khan to Christianity, Marco Polo is abandoned in the mountains when the priests, doubting the very existence of China, turn back. Polo eventually pushes bravely forth alone toward the fabled country where he is accepted as an envoy into Khan's court. Marooned on the far side of the world, Polo, accompanied by his servant, Pedro, advances as a Mongol grandee for twenty extraordinary years. What he eventually brings back with him to the West is a chronicle that changed history forever.

Honey Hush

So many things are on your mind
You look troubled and scared to death
And the chores you missed on your very long list
That won't let you catch your breath.
I know we've had some hard times
But I won't let that get in your way
Before you cry tonight and get up tight
There's one thing that I'd like to say.
Honey hush, turn the lights down low
Don't push so hard
Leave our cares and woes
And won't you please
Let me lead you across the floor.
Honey hush, it'll be alright
Don't you think we should discuss
Oh, but not tonight
We can worry in the mornin'
But right now, Honey hush.
--- Instrumental ---
Things don't change very easy
It's like our whole world is falling apart
But this love we share shows how much we care
We're forever joined at the heart.
I believe that we will get through this
Though we don't rightly know what to do
If there's a will there's a way with these bills to pay
As long as I know I've got you.
Honey hush, turn the lights down low
Don't push to hard
Leave your cares and woe
And dance with me
Let me lead you across the floor.
Honey hush, It'll be alright
Don't you think we
Oh, but not tonight
We can worry in the mornin'
But right now, Honey hush.
We can worry in the mornin'
But right now, Honey hush.
