昭和16年12月の太平洋戦争勃発後、海軍省は「ハワイ・マレー沖大戦果の歌」を発表。アコーディオンを弾くのは作曲者・江口夜詩。現代の機種に比べると、全体の形が角張っており、鍵盤も細長く、クラシックな作りである。当時、この写真のようなピアノ式アコーディオンは、庶民にとっては手の届かぬ高嶺の花であった。一般には、値段の安い押引異音の小型ボタン式アコーディオンが普及していた。
After the war in Pacific Ocean broke out in Dec.1941, the Ministry of the Navy presented " Song of the Great Victory in Hawaii and the Malay Sea". Eguchi, the composer of the song, played a piano-type-accordion. Its shape is not so round as modern models, and the keys are also longer and narrower. They assumed a classic model. The piano-type-accordion was very expensive for the common Japanese at that time. In those days, the smaller and cheaper diatonic-accordions were spread among the Japanese.
