Notes

  1. Nureki lived with his parents and a younger brother and sister in a two-story wooden house in Ryuusenjichou in Asakusa. He read the authors Edogawa Ranpo, Kyuusaku Yumeno, Udaru Oshita, Saburou Kouga, Juuza Unno and Junichirou Tanizaki repeatedly.
  2. Nureki received guidance from Ichirou Madokoro, a member of Taiheiyogakai.
  3. Based at a remodeled playhouse near Kameari Station. The 'Hanagata Kabuki Troupe had once been located at a theater in Honjo Midoricho, but was re-established in Kameari as Shinsei Hanagata Kabuki (Leaders: Tsuruzou Kantou and Takewaka Kantou) after evacuating Honjo Midoricho due to the destruction caused by aerial bombing.
  4. The troupe isn't specified, but it is thought to be Gekidan Toudou, which was active between 1928 and 1980.
  5. "I remember it seemed to have a title like If My Song Had Wings." The actual work is unconfirmed. One possibility is My Father (Toyotarou, 1946).
