From the "Nippon Columbia album reprint series. Titled "Showa Archives" - omitted - Mieko Hirota [Sings Miko Musical] (released April 1, 1967) is a record that shows off the singing skills of Mieko, who was a genius young singer who took the world by storm. First CD release. All arrangements by Kiyoshi Yamaya. Accompaniment by Nobuo Hara and Sharp and Flats, Golden Strings, and Toshiyuki Miyama Newhard. The energy of dynamically assimilating the Japanese lyrics translated by Yasuteru Miura and the original English lyrics without distinguishing between them is not depreciated. A Japanese treasure. 』

② is,
"It's good news that this 1963 album, which is considered unique among all her albums, has been reissued in a paper jacket with stereo and mono coupling. The sound quality is also good, with no drop in quality like in [Singing Standards]. This is one of the so-called jazz folk songs and rockabilly folk songs, in which jazz and pop singers challenge roots music, and it can be said to be a genre that developed uniquely in Japan. The arrangement was by Maeda Norio, and the "work song"-style "Kushimoto Bushi" and the bold swinging "Soran Bushi" are particularly worth listening to. Commentary: Goda Michito"
