In the second part (tracks 2-11, in Japanese), Nimura and Takeo Watanabe, a choreographer of Takarazuka Kagekidan (all female revue troupe in Takarazuka-city, Japan) informally discuss Takarazuka, Martha Graham, Arthur Murray, and prices for a dance lesson in New York. The third part (tracks 11-13) is a recording of a radio show in English about a story about planting roses in Japan. The notes in the original box indicate that the recording was made in November 1952.
