With its use I found this extremely helpful site:

日本コロムビア(旧日本蓄音器商会)が昭和20年8月までに製造した邦楽SP盤のうち、メインである24000-30000番台と100000番台の目録です。戦前その他の規格は戦前2へ。戦後はこちらへ。 原則として発売年月は新譜記載月に準じていますが、実際の発売日は前20日の場合がほとんどです。コロムビアはA面にあたるレーベルの原盤番号の先頭に1、B面にあたる方は2と記載されていますがこの表では省略し、同じ製品番号のうち1のつく方を表の先頭にしてあります。 ニッポノホンと傘下レーベル(オリエント・ヒコーキ・ライオン)の目録はこちら。廉価レーベルのリーガルレコードはこちらへ
1943年4月新譜よりレーベルがニッチクとなります。再版盤にも適応されています。

This is a catalog of the main Japanese music SP discs [Edit: SP discs or standard playing discs or just SPs are what 78s are called in Japan] manufactured by Nippon Columbia (formerly Japan Phonograph Company) up to August 1945, in the 24000-30000 series and 100000 series. Pre-war and other standards go to pre-war 2. Click here after the war. As a general rule, the release date follows the month of the new release, but in most cases the actual release date is the 20th before. Columbia lists 1 at the beginning of the label's original number on side A and 2 on side B, but omit them in this table, and the one with 1 among the same product numbers is listed at the beginning of the table. Click here for a catalog of Nipponohon and its affiliated labels (Orient Airplane Lion). Click here for the low-priced label Regal Records
From the new record in April 1943, the label will be Nichek. It has also been adapted for reprint editions.

Thanks.

I had intended to post the main page.

Too much of a hurry. Too little proof reading.
