Filmon endless sound-belt, a type of records which can be used to record for a long time, was developed in Japan in the latter half of the 1930s. They were sold only for about three years and those remaining today are extremely limited in number. In fact, they have been practically forgotten even in Japan. The National Research Institute for Cultural Properties, Tokyo has been conducting jointsurvey of Filmon endless sound-belts with Waseda University's The Tsubouchi Memorial Theatre Museum, and a part of the results of that survey was made public in Research and Reports on Intangible Cultural Heritage No. 5 (March, 2011). Further survey has led to corrections and additions of information, and these are provided in this report.
