With war in the air, I felt it was an appropriate time to post this 8-track sent to 8-track Heaven by Miles Steuding. Since neither Miles nor I can read Japanese, I enlisted the translation assistance of my friend Mark Brady and his dad & uncle, all of whom read Japanese quite well. The translated titles are listed above.

Basically these are songs about and from WWII from the Japanese perspective. The songs feature a female vocalist and modern music, "Americanized" song arrangements for the most part.

This is a very nice looking cart, with full color art sleeve and a neat sculpted "grip" on the cartridge. Another interesting feature of this is the label itself: ANT PAK: Cartridge Tape Ant
