Ultra Kuru and Hae

Can someone please confirm that the artists Ultra Kuru and Hae are heard in the Japan pavilion in WS? Thanks.

Can't confirm that at all -- the Japan BGM was created especially for WDI back in 1982 if that helps. Where are you getting the information?

Re:Uttara Kuru and Hae

A couple dozen tracks from these artists have appeared on the Usenet groups over the past few months and I reluctant to catalog them unless someone can confirm they are really heard in the Japan pavilion at WS. Here are links to the albums and artists (please note it is Uttara Kuru, not Ultra Kuru -- my mistake!):

and

I'm not familiar with this label, either, so I've got not much of anything to go on. Thanks.

Sounds like a load of BS to me. Be aware that the Japan BGM is one of the few pieces of World Showcase music that is actually in circulation via the master recording rather than via induction or live recordings by enthusiasts...
