Do You Want a Tokyo Rose Radio MOD?

Iron Budokan · 10-31-07, 02:03 PM

Yep.

What an excellent undertaking....

for me... make it as authentic as you can and stick with Rose.

Thanks in advance for yet another realstic immersion

You'll find it very hard to locate a lot of Tokyo Rose recordings, not many exist, although it would certainly be fun to have such a mod. You might want to note that there is strong evidence that she was forcibly made to do the recordings and was in fact very sympathetic to American prisoners.

Possibly transcripts of programs somewhere?

Iv'e been looking for weeks without sucess. If you know where I can find some, please put up a link. I have 9 shows total, most of which are of very poor quality. I have no transcripts at all other that for the shows I already have. The GIs listened to her a lot, but unfortunately didn't record very many. They just listened for the "music from home".

I don't know of any, but this thing has the possibility of being one of the best radio mods ever.

The National Archives? Have you talked to anyone there? The College Park station?

Maybe searching for the Zero Hour would get a few more results than searching strictly for Tokyo Rose, given that all results to date are Orphan Ann specific...?

I'm not american so I wouldn't know for sure, but wouldn't there be a lot of transcripts available from the FBI under the Freedom of Information Act? Given the largely mediatized trial against Iva Torguri, there must have been quite a few pages of "on xx of december 19xx, she said 'this' and then 'that' and 'blah blah'...", no?

To answer your question... Yes I want to have that mod. Would be a great edition to the game. You may consider adding a few from the movies even thought they wouldnt be as authinic but they could be used as filler. Could be done like Captian Midnights CBS radio mod were we could add our own music.

I'll be keeping an eye on this to see what you can accomplish. This mod sounds awesome but it also sounds like it could be a huge amount of work and I think it really just depends on your personal tastes. Make it so that you will be happy about it and don't really listen to what we have to say that much. When you are done we will either use it or not based on our tastes but just know that you created something that you will be able to call your own and that many people will be completely grateful for all the work you put into it.

Actually, there wasn't. Two of the main witnesses were coerced to lie and the prosecution made up a lot of cr*p. Basically Iva was railroaded into her prison sentence to appease the American pubic and make it look like the Federal government were heroes...
