I am currently working on the Popular Asian Market Discography and cannot place the title or artist of this Crown release. Does anyone have any info?

Plugging the kanji on the right side of the sleeve in to google translate, this is what I come up with (from right to left):
Wow, How did you do that? I need a tutorial! Thanks.
So now the questions is does it file under popular, classical or anthology. I always struggle with that info along with who the artist is.
I regret not using the classical page format of listing by catalog number. It makes it more of a pain until all the info comes in.
The Popular Asian Market Discography has been updated and the temporary file can be seen here.

Thanks to steelydave for the motivation for the update. The 1st one was met with lackluster enthusiasm but I just had to do it for myself.
After he started the threads on Japanese labels and some of the auctions he captured I was inspired by the photos of rare gold.
I really enjoyed using his posts as a check list and the Q8 Additions make my heart beat.
This is by fare the hardest page to work on as translating and info can be scarce. Steelydave really helped on the new tape additions and for that I say THANK YOU!
Note I still need to add some of his additions to the Movie, Popular, Classical (regretting that task), Sampler pages so if you do not see it here that is why.
I think my next checklist project is going to be for UK quad releases - I have a record and tape guide from 1974 that lists quad releases, and @fredblue was kind enough to buy and photograph for me another one from 1976, so between the two I have the titles and catalogue numbers for nearly everything released by RCA, CBS (Columbia/Epic), EMI, Decca, Pye/Precision Tapes, and W/E/A.
I also noticed that there are quite a few artists where the albums don't seem to be listed in either alphabetical order or catalog number order (not sure which you're using, or maybe neither) but it's a minor quibble really.
There are also a couple of smaller European labels like the Swiss label Pick/Classic Pick that I don't think have been fully investigated - the common link there seems to be the German engineer Hellmuth Kolbe, who worked on some of E. Power Biggs's quad albums that were recorded in cathedrals in Germany and Austria.
I'm still not entirely convinced every quad release from that EMI "Studio 2" label was released in discrete form on Q8. I've never seen any evidence of albums like Manuel & The Music Of The Mountains' Carnival and Mandingo's The Primeval Rhythm Of Life getting Q8 releases, only SQ LP. Perhaps you have a lead on this? Hardly popular titles, but still it's interesting...
Thanks Dave, I do not have the Q8 listed but listed the reel twice and need to consolidate with out the bands. Does the Q8 title translate different than the reel?
