The year of recording is not identified, but the recording was probably made in 1964.
• Disc 1 (track 6, ca. 4:00 min. to track 9), in Japanese: Yeichi Nimura briefly speaks with Kimika Narai. The handwritten notes in the original container read "October. Miss Kimika Narai, dancer." The year of recording is not identified, but the recording was probably made in 1964.

• Disc 2 (track 1, ca. 1:10 min. to track 7), in Japanese: Yeichi Nimura engages in a general conversation with Reiko Yukawa, a Japanese television commentator and music critic. Nimura talks about the reason why he came to the U.S, and his career as dancer. The handwritten notes in the original container indicate that the recording was made in November, 1964.
• Disc 2 (track 8 to track 13), in Japanese: Yeichi Nimura and dance critic, Nario Goda, extensively discuss dance. Nimura makes remarks about Martha Graham. The handwritten notes in the original container read "Feb. 2, 1965. Reference from Akiko Tachibana & Tatsuo Nagata."

It appears that they were waiting for Aida Alvarez. At times two conversations can be heard, and the voices are not always intelligible. Nimura mentions in the recording that his ghost writer, Takeo Nagata is writing Nimura's autobiography. The handwritten notes in the original container read "Nov. 8, 1964. ---(?) Kita; Tomoeda, No (Noh) actor; Nobuko Uenishi, translator; Aida Alvarez; Kay."
