Apparently there were "soundie" jukeboxes but they were very shortlived, late '40s like you say.

I was living in England when this came out too. More than hearing the actual song was just random drunk people in the pub shouting "I WHIP MUH HURRR BACK AND FURTH!"

They used to have these movie jukeboxes called "Panorams", you picked a song and the soundie played on a rear-projection screen. Sometimes also shown as short subjects in theaters.

i bootlegged this with an El-P beat when it came out, which i thought was pretty great, but Soundcloud evidently didn't, cuz they took it down

I would have been blown away if she was (strictly) Anglo-raised. That's why I had to check. But have there been any non-natively-raised vocalists that have attained some degree of pop success singing Japanese?

(Either way, I'm definitely a fan of hers, now).
