Info about this song from the book:
Seagulls, The Sailormen (1933)
This song was composed by Koyo Kawamura in 1933 and published as a record in 1937 by King Records. In 1926 the Taisho Era ended and the Showa Era began. All the magazines who supported the Doyo Age were already gone, and instead, a group of record companies came in. With them began the Record Doyo Age. Their commercialism would never accept "high brow" songs. What they were looking for the was the second Ujo and Shimpei. Koyo Kawamura satisfied them. He studied music from Kiyomi Fujii who was a friend of Ujo Noguchi and belonged to the "Kin-no Hoshi" (Golden Star) which had been reorganized from "Kin-no Fune" (Golden Ship). This magazine was closely related to Nagayo Motoori and Shimpei Nakayama. This means that Koyo Kawamura was a person who followed the tradition of the popular, comprehensive Doyo musicians.
