Same. I'm hoping that someone on /mu/ will have used their hipster music to find out everything they could about this kind of music.
Only other way I can think of finding this stuff [without learning jap] is through related videos on vaporwave tracks and Japanese commercials from around the same time.

I saw a creepy pasta about her once from 2ch. I should have saved it, but the translator I used garbled it pretty bad.
Have another laserdisc rip to make up for it.
