I can't believe my brother remembered this song or found it for that matter.. My mother in the 1950's would play it, and we thought she said " Me got no yoyo" (just like the other poster.. of course I was born in the late forties.. so I didnt have a clue
I have an old 78 rpm record of "Shina no Yoru (China Night)" and I prefer it to to the later orchestration on a 33-1/3 record, both sung by Hamako Watanabe. By the way, Watanabe was not a spy, but she did sing a lot of songs about China in Japanese including Yeh Lai Hsiang. Yoshiko Yamaguchi, also known as Shirley Yamaguchi in the West, was born in Manchuria and did appear in Japanese propaganda films, one of which was "Shina no Yoru."
Hmmm, I am thinking that this singer might have been an influence on Hibari Misora. Listen to how she plays with phrasing, Hibari has a flavor like this from a very young age.
As a teenager I found this 78 in my grandmothers collection of records after she passed away in 1982. I believe she brought it back from a trip to Japan that she and my grandfather had taken in the 50's. Twenty-Seven years after finding this 78, I still love hearing it, along with every pop and crackle that have become a part of this wonderful song. Thanks for posting this video.
Stupid Chinese, She was beautiful with sweet voice, but In fact, she was a spy for Japanese Army during Japan occupied China in WW2. Chinese dont be so fool to thrust her.
She was a wolf with sheep skin ! After the WW2, she became a member of Jap Parliment.
She helped Japan to occupied China , praised her seems to be Jews prasied Hilter's army !
1. This is Hamako Watanabe, not Shirley Yamaguchi, and 2. Ms. Yamaguchi has never been proven to be a spy, so may I suggest you do not put offensive comments about these great women from your uneducated views?
Uneducated persons like to accuse without making the effort to know more about an issue, which creates noise and jokes. Actually from the language those persons use, one can fairly judge how much education they have and how much they know. They are desperate.
By the way, I really like your politeness even to such offensive persons.

Here are my apologies. I thought it was posted by sabuichi68. I meant this song is widely known as "The Night in China". Why did you change the title to "The Great Manchuria Empire"?

上個世紀的中國真是虎落平陽被犬欺,龍遊淺水遭蝦戲。小小倭奴,竟敢犯我中華,實為中華五千年未有之奇恥大辱。我中華兒女當謹記教訓,團結一致,光復舊物。

Watanabe Hamako was not a spy. I think people mixed up with Yamaguchi Yoshiko (山口淑子).

このような貴重な映像を出典して下さり感謝致します。この歌は、戦時中の米国の兵隊さん達にも人気があり、最近アメリカの懐メロラジオ局で一度聞いたときは驚きました。各地を慰問して巡り、更に日支友好に尽くされた彼女の業績を讃えたいと思います。

我想大陆人现在看网特发布这些视频或者看见海外流亡的独立分子的 煽动言论心情还是非常好的,每天的工作至于可以当做调味品去看待 ,也不错~~~ 总的来说还是一句话:风水轮流转,三十年河东三十年河西。 我最喜欢看的就是海外的独立分子发表那些大陆人民过的水生火热的 视频和言论,非常好笑
