Hibari Misora 憧れのハワイ航路 1949...

...please turn your volume up! This was shot before she made it big on the film Kanashiki Kuchibue, and one of the earliest images of her that still exists.Looking at this, it's easy to tell why the top stars of the time became jealous of Hibari's talents... The man playing the guitar is Haruhisa Kawada, who discovered Hibari's talents long before she became famous, and taught her various techniques in singing. He is one of the two people whom Hibari recognised as her 'master', the other being Hibari's own father.
