Lucky Records

Lucky Records is the name of several different record labels.

Lucky Records - Tokyo

Lucky Records of the 1930s was a record label based in Tokyo, Japan which specialized in issuing United States popular music to the Japanese audience.

Lucky was founded in November of 1934 by the Lucky Record Co. Tokyo, owned by the Saito Shoten cotton importing business. They made arrangements with the American Record Corporation to issue material from ARC labels in Japan. Their most successful import was the recordings of Bing Crosby. Many of the other Lucky Records issues are surprisingly eclectic, including recordings by Eddie Condon, Red Allen, Cab Calloway, and Duke Ellington, but also rural southern blues records otherwise unissued outside of the United States in the era (and in the US mostly restricted to labels catering to the African American market). Lucky issues also included accordion bands, Hawaiin music, Calypso music, and Argentine tangos. It is unclear if this material was specifically selected, or if some was simply chosen at random by someone at either Lucky or ARC.

Lucky was the victim of the Tojo government's nationalistic campaign against foreign cultural influence, and closed down by early 1940.
