Chou,
Well, when you get down to it, _most_ of the songs stylistically don't fit
the period of 1911 Tokyo <g>. Songs that fit the style of the period are
closer to "Ikiteru yorokobi" or "Miyako no hanazo" than, say "Minamikaze Go
Go" or "Ai wa Daiya". But I love them all, and the spirit of the music and
"old song" feel is more important than historical accuracy in this case.
