Nimura makes arrangements for Tsukuba's dance lessons during her stay in New York. The handwritten notes in the original container read "April 1, 1960. Ms. Hisako Tsukuba, screen star, 22 years old. She came with Mr. Murai (Ms. Kanna Ishii's husband)."
• Disc 1 (track 9, ca. 0:55 min. to track 13), in English: Hortense Kooluris consults Yeichi Nimura about producing a motion picture. The handwritten notes in the original container indicate that this part of the recording was made on April 15, 1960.
• Disc 2, in Japanese: Kunisuke Ito, the manager/director of the Umeda Koma Stadium, and Yeichi Nimura engage in an informal conversation regarding the Umeda Koma Stadium, Kabuki, Takarazuka Kagekidan, and theatre administration in the U.S. and Japan. The handwritten notes in the original container reads "Mr. Kunisuke Ito, director of Umeda Koma Stadium & myself. With reference letter from Mr. Shigenori Utsumi of Takarazuka Stadium. March 17, 1960."
