Were these Japanese albums originally released in Japan or the U.S.? Cos I could see these being released here, if only for their novelty value.

This "Teichiku" song title: "Tan-kou-bushi," "(Mitsui) Coal Mine Song." Popular drinking tune, from Kita-Kyushu. Something about two people... causing the tree to shake. The modest moon pretends not to see them. Great stuff.

"Causing the tree to shake"? DAMN but they're gettin' into it.

The MIsora Hibari Song is called "Kappa Boogie Woogie". 'Kappa' is a kind of Fairy or Spirit originated from Japanese Tradition.
By the way, do you have some Korean recordings? it will be nice to hear them here.
