Wakare no Iso Chidori appears on the following albums:

Album	Shakuhachi	Koto	Shamisen
Japanese Music of Hawaii  (Listen)
Arguably, Hawai'i-bom Francis Zanami's most famous composition. First performed in the Islands it became a hit in Japan in 1952. Here, "Sparky" Iwamoto, backed by the Club Nisei singers, pays homage to the Hawaiian-Japanese composer. Regrettably Mr. Zanami's promising career was cut short - In 1949, at the age of 44, he died of a heart attack.
