Japanese Victor: can anyone identify?

[Lucius1958]

Here's a Japanese Victor from my old family albums; my father most likely brought it back after WWII. I was wondering whether anyone here might be able to identify the title and the artist.

Catalog number is J-4008 (E2673/4).....

It's traditional singing, with some dialogue (or monologue) on the first side. If the website will allow, I'll try to copy the text as best I can:*

ド一コレ一勺勹ビ
卻 疋 汲

(八) 鞋 革 國 愛

(作 捁[?] 多 夲)

月 裏[?] 軒 中 天


*after several hours of painful slogging through the katakana font (and still not being sure about a couple of characters)......

I see this is a rather old post; did you ever identify it?

If by any chance you could post clearer images of the label, I may be able to help.

The first one might be some form or comedy or game? Traditional music isn't very clearly titled...

I can't read the rest, the others Chinese, not Japanese. Sorry.

A lot has changed since 2011! Now, all you have to do is copy and paste the text into Google Translate -- https://translate.google.com/?sl=auto&t ... =translate -- or similar, or use your browser's built in translator. You can also translate directly from an image of the label, itself, using an image-to-text app.

True!! I just wanted to pitch in a bit.

Sorry I was only able to identify one though, maybe I should have let my grandma teach me Chinese when I was 8.
