My father gave me the record "Best 10 from the Land of the Rising Sun" when I was five or 6. I definitely remember this song! Looking back, there's something very Latino (think 1957, then "Ricky Ricardo)" about the beat to this song. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I broke my heart when I broke my 78, which my dad brought back from Japan. I thought I'd never hear it again. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I first heard this when I was in the army (1953) and attended a service school on the island of Eta Jima in the Inland Sea at what had been the Japanese Naval Academy; I first heard 'China Nights' (referred to as the 'Stardust of the Orient') then, also. The muted trumpet licks with a few notes of 'China Nights' and 'The Donkey Serenade' here are a nice addition. Great.

My father brought this record when she came from Japan in 1957. I was 4 years old.
The power of the Internet! Just one click and my childhood is here, in the waves of this song!

The original version of "Japanese Rhumba" was recorded in Japan. This version is by the Club Nisei Orchestra and was recorded in Hawaii by the 49th State Record Co. Reissue CDs of this company's recordings have been produced by Hana Ola Records, in California.
The song was written by an American GI who was stationed in Japan after World War II. I can't remember his name...interestingly, he was African-American...he wrote and recorded other similar songs using very elementary Japanese phrases.

Ghost from the past!
The *only* time I ever heard this before was when my 9th grade teacher in Washington, DC, who had spent some time in Japan, sang a few words (that I still remember!). That was in 1958-59. I searched for this on a hunch and it's amazing to find that it's real, and great to hear it again, especially after 49 years. I have occasionally treated (?) my friends to a fragment in the meantime, though.
