According to sources,\u00a0Temple\u00a0was briefly visiting Japan for promoting her film &#8220;Dimples&#8221; and recorded this on March 11th, 1937, at Japan Polydor Studio at Tokyo, Japan. Despite the fact she learned the lyrics phonetically, there&#8217;s basically no errors on pronunciations; and it is pretty astonishing for a 8 year-old girl. This record had very few circulations; it was only released in Japan, and after WWII broke out, the Japanese government prohibited listening to records made by any &#8216;American enemies&#8217;, so it is even rare in Japan.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3M3GuNEOVBY\" height=\"480\" width=\"640\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a few weeks since the passing of Shirley Temple Black at 85, but we thought it would be fun to check out this recently unearthed gem from her trip to Japan in 1937.
