I loved the vibrant Japan of this era. After the war, Japan was rapidly changing due to its rapid economic growth. I was very attracted to the Japan in the movies. They had humor and sex appeal. The mix of foreign influences and Japanese culture wasexciting. I wanted to go back to that time. I wanted to touch and smell it. But that was not possible, so I decided to create my own version. I envisioned a soundtrack for a variety show set on a southern island.This album is a collection of theme songs for the fictional variety show "Hotel New Yuma. The show is set at Hotel New Yuma, somewhere in the south of the country. It was to be a 30-minute live broadcast starting at 11:15 p.m. on a Friday night. The host of the show is Yuma Abe, who plays the role of the hotel manager. The program features guests who appear each time, and includes skits, songs, readings, talks, and more. Short skits were performed in accordance with the theme, and dancing, playing, and singing were inserted in between the skits. There were also some contrived appearances by singers and a comedian singer. It was fast-paced, stylish, and exotic. Doors: 8pmSet times: 9:30-10:30 + 11:15-12:15
