This Japanese search engine is proving to be very useful.

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.

78s are apparently referred to as SPs in Japan, Standard Playing records.

This site is really cool. The facility they host it in has a massive amount of phonographs and records, all 78s.

Glad you enjoyed it.

How are things with you and your new school?

My project here, the reason for starting this thread, has been deeply back-burnered because of the chaos of my life at the moment. I will get back to it.
