Izumi Yukimura
is a Japanese popular singer and actress. Yukimura made her debut with the song in 1953. Her style of singing varied from jazz to rock and roll. She became one of the three most popular female singers in the early postwar Japan, along with Chiemi Eri and Hibari Misora. On her 1974 album ''Super Generation'', she sang Ryoichi Hattori's songs along with four popular musicians: Masataka Matsutoya, Shigeru Suzuki, Tatsuo Hayashi and Haruomi Hosono. Eri, who died in 1982, and Misora, who died in 1989, also recorded songs with Yukimura as a group in the 1950s, but those recordings had not been released for about 50 years because they each belonged to separate record labels.

Rocket Nakata
A rocket (from it, rocchetto, , bobbin/spool) is a vehicle that uses jet propulsion to accelerate without using the surrounding air. A rocket engine produces thrust by reaction to exhaust expelled at high speed. Rocket engines work entirely from propellant carried within the vehicle; therefore a rocket can fly in the vacuum of space. Rockets work more efficiently in a vacuum and incur a loss of thrust due to the opposing pressure of the atmosphere. Multistage rockets are capable of attaining escape velocity from Earth and therefore can achieve unlimited maximum altitude. Compared with airbreathing engines, rockets are lightweight and powerful and capable of generating large accelerations. To control their flight, rockets rely on momentum, airfoils, auxiliary reaction engines, gimballed thrust, momentum wheels, deflection of the exhaust stream, propellant flow, spin, or gravity. Rockets for military and recreational uses date back to at least 13th-century China. Significant ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Tony Tani
(14 October 1917 – 16 July 1987) was a popular Japanese entertainer of the 1950s. His flamboyant stage persona satirized American stereotypes of the Japanese as well as the influence of the U.S. occupation on Japanese culture. Career Serving as a popular emcee on radio shows and in dance halls, Tani developed a campy, high-energy stage persona that combined archaic speaking conventions of upper-class madams with caustic catchphrases and anachronistic smatterings of pidgin English. He parodied American style with androgynous eyeglasses, a pencil-thin "Colman" mustache, and slick suits and wig, calling himself "Number One Handsome Boy." Tani channeled Spike Jones with satirical jazz performances, using an abacus as a percussion instrument in lampooning post-war Japan's economic fixations. Tani openly mocked his audiences, an abrasive style that initially entertained his fans but eventually wore thin on the public and the press, who criticized Tani for lacking humility followin ...
