Welcome to the pleasures of cursive Japanese!
The second piece is "Tsuru no koe" and the third, "Sode (no) k=F4ro." Th=
e titles
look different because they're written with variant forms of the kanji i=
n
question. Kawase uses traditional forms consistently, whereas Judo uses =
an
unusual historical form for "tsuru" even though he opts for the modern (t=
=F4y=F4
kanji) version of "koe." Both use heavily cursivized and traditional for=
ms for
the word "k=F4ro."
Pedantically yours,
