 note = {The present paper is a report that follows the article “Disque Pathé, Records Requiring a Special Player” by Ijima Mitsuru and Nagai Miwako in Research and Reports on Intangible Cultural Heritage No. 6 . That article presents an outline of the 40 SP records (39 works) in the collection of the National Research Institute for Cultural Properties, Tokyo that were sold by the French recording company Pathé. The collection of Pathé records includes various genres of music: gidayubushi, kouta, kiyomoto-bushi, chikuzen biwa, nagauta, shakuhachi and shinnai-bushi as well as Japanese repertoires played on western musical instruments. The characteristic of these records is that while SP records in general are laterally cut, Pathé records are vertically cut and require special apparatus for playing. Based on the history of performances of the players who were involved in the recording, it is assumed that the recordings were made around October 1911.
     In this paper, focus is placed on the recording of the nagauta “Yoshiwara Suzume” (manufacture number: 34640–34645). It consists of 5 sides, with each side being 3 minutes long: in other words, an equivalent of two-and-a-half records. Representative nagauta performers of the time including Kineya Rokuzaemon XIII, Kineya Kangoro V and Okayasu Nampo VI were involved in the recording. It may be said that these recordings are extremely valuable, especially with regard to those of Okayasu Nampo (1874 － 1915), since recordings were still rare in those days and since he died at the age of 41. The characteristic of these recordings is that a special device is attached to shamisen in order to express high notes (uwajoshi ), which today is rarely done in this repertoire.
     Recordings made more than 100 years ago are compared with current performances and analyzed from the points of view of singing, shamisen and hayashi . In addition, the achievements of Okayasu Nampo, who is not quite well known today, are examined, based on newspaper and magazine articles of his days.
     There are 7 nagauta recordings in the collection and all have been digitized. Studies of these recordings will be made in order.},
