The musician Ryoichi Hattori, the representative of the Showa era, wrote and composed the song during the war, and the first materials such as the score and lyrics of the song that was described as the “phantom work” sung by Shigeko Kasaki, who was called the Queen of Boogie, were found. It was. The expert says, “It seems that it was sung in comfort during the war, but it is clearly different and interesting compared to the other two songs.”

What I found this time is the music score and lyrics of the song written by Ryoichi Hattori for the singer Sachiko Kasaki around 1945 during the war.

Mr. Hattori wrote the lyrics, etc., as they were stored in old envelopes in a warehouse in Tokyo.

The title is “Otoshi no Brother”. Mr. Kasaki, who made a combination of “Tokyo Boogie Woogi” which was a big hit after the war, spelled his feelings about his younger brother who died in the battlefield, and the lyrics say, “Brother on the eyelid”.

During the war, the songs that incorporated jazz by two people were regulated as “the enemy country of America”, and the song has a part like a military song, which is very different from the other two songs.

No sound source is left, so far it has been regarded as a “phantom work”.

Associate professor Yusuke Wajima of Osaka University's Faculty of Letters, who is familiar with Showa popular music, said, “While during the war, Sadako Kasaki wrote and gave a song so that she could sing in comfort. It was a very interesting discovery.” It is.
