"Kobe Boogie" is a song composed in 1946 by Ryoichi Hattori, a representative musician of the Showa era. Since no sound source remains, it is thought to be a phantom work.
Last year, the sheet music was found among Mr. Hattori's belongings. About 70 people gathered at Osaka University's Nakanoshima Art Center in Osaka City to perform the song. The song has lyrics unique to Kobe, such as ``port'' and ``Motomachi,'' sung in a melody.
