Is that so ?   A "Temperance song" is a kind of song I firstly heard of.

On thing I've learned is that KatsuYoshio was born in 1902. 1. 29, that was
just
5 days before my late father was born.  Those days many new songs like this
were written according to foreign melodies.   So I think this is one of
them.
