This item is from my home collection. The contents are in like-new, excellent condition, but being old, there is some aging on the cover. As shown in the images, there is a series of about 30 very small folds at the top due to storage. I appreciate your understanding. Taro Shoji, Ichiro Fujiyama, Haruo Oka, Noriko Awaya... even Hibari Misora, the nostalgic singers come alive here. Filled with anecdotes that no one knows. A definitive edition of Showa kayo history.

The name of Dr. Takashi Nagai appears along with the episode of "Nagasaki no Kane." Also, a comparative evaluation of Ryoichi Hattori and Masao Koga regarding Yuji Koseki. The author, who has been an MC, talent, and music critic for many years, and was widely intimate with singers and composers, was accurate. The author's testimony of the history of popular songs, left by the author of the CMs that sang parodies and the judges of "Amateur Meijin-kai."
