I found a neat collection of old Japanese 78 rpm records. They are shown below. Click on the label images to see an enlargement and on the song titles to hear the songs. My Japanese is terrible, so with the exception of a few that have been translated by helpful friends, most are simply labeled with the label number.
I can compile a CD containing all the label photos and the songs if you want. There are about 120 songs.
EMAIL ME and I'll ship one off to you for $15.00, postage included in U.S., add $5.00 for shipping outside U.S.
Enjoy!

This is a children's record. Has very interesting label art, too. Note that the ant and cart drawings are not duplicates of each other, but have each been hand drawn seperately.
