In the latter half of the 1930s many songs were about Manchuria and the South Seas, extolling war and patriotism as songs about love were prohibited. Composition of songs based on messages from mothers to their sons in the battlefield or letters to soldiers were encouraged. This is the period when the Japanese government put most effort into popular music, however few songs survived into the post war period.
