Hello--

Just answered a similar question--I work in a record store. On Hana Ola records there are a few Japanese pop albums that have a similar sound like you hear on MASH.  Korean pop songs from the 40s were Japanese-influenced.  Try "Modern Songs of Japan," "Club Nisei", "Sayoara Farewell Japan," or "holiday in Japan"

I was looking for the same exact thing after watching a MASH episode where all the characters had to sleep in Hawkeye's tent to save on heat. The music playing on the radio in the background prompted me to look also. This is what I found.
