FAB on Interview- Craig Donovan SKYSHINE Debut Album (March Fab On Japanese Music Blog Interview of Craig Donovan and New Release/Debut Album “SKYSHINE”, March 31, 2018 (English Translation) 1. Could you tell us a little about your musical background? How did you start getting into music? Who were some of the artists that have influenced you? Craig: I am a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and vocalist, who plays electric and acoustic guitar, piano, synthesizer and mandolin. My musical background comes from my experience going up in New York City and in a family with an eclectic interest in music. Although my parents were not musicians, they provided me with a household full of different types of music. My parents had a large record collection that included everything from rock-n-roll (1950’s/1960’s), jazz and folk to opera, Broadway showtunes and music from other countries. I loved spending hours exploring the music in their record collection. Also, growing up in NYC gave me a strong background by exposing me to different cultures and musical and artistic forms. There were lots of opportunities to see and hear different styles of music played live by some of the greatest musicians. These experiences made a positive impression on me and set my direction toward music. I originally started studying classical guitar and then later gravitated to rock and songwriting. During my university and graduate school years, I performed at venues like Folk City and The Bitter End in Greenwich Village and CBGB’s in the Bowery. I then took a short respite from performing to complete professional studies. In 2013, I got back into songwriting and performing and now play on the east and west coasts of the United States and abroad. Some of the influential artists on my music include Elvis Costello, Paul Weller, James Taylor, Weezer and R.E.M, as well as J-rock bands, L’Arc-en-Ciel, Bump of Chicken and Asian Kung- Fu Generation. 2. I see that your music is influenced by J-rock. What made you get into that? Craig: I got into J-rock from having the wonderful opportunity to live and study in Japan. I lived in Mitaka, Tokyo and studied at International Christian University (ICU). At that time, one of my Japanese friends played for me the Dune and Tierra albums of L’Arc-en-Ciel. From that moment, I was smitten with the high caliber of L’Arc’s musicianship, hook-like melodies and various musical styles, especially Hyde’s vocals and Tetsu’s bass playing and compositions. I also discovered other influential J-rock artists from my love of manga and anime in subsequent years. I discovered Asian Kung-Fu Generation from their title song, “Rewrite” featured as the opening theme to Fullmetal Alchemist and Bump of Chicken from their song, “Arue” inspired by Rei Ayanami a character in Neon Genesis Evangelion. Currently, I am listening to Radwimps and impressed with Yojiro Noda’s songwriting, especially his piano and vocal compositions. 3. We would like to hear about your new release? Please tell us about it. Craig: On April 1, 2018, I released my debut 5-song, EP SKYSHINE. The album has a J-rock inspired feel with driving distortion and delay-drenched electric guitar complemented with softer acoustic guitar moments, catchy hook-like melodies, soaring vocals and harmonies, and heartfelt lyrics. The songs contain eclectic subject matter and explore deeply personal themes. For instance, the single, “Living Waters”, a song of hope, is a commentary on nuclear war, chronicling the true and unusual story of Hajime Iwanaga, a 14-year-old Japanese boy who survived the Nagasaki atomic bomb blast by swimming under 2-3 meters of water in the Urakami River. The piano-based rock ballad “Shadow to Your Light” deals with the unbreakable bond between two best friends and the importance of being there for another who is challenged with mental illness. Another song, “2025”, concerns the issue of human beings courageously walking their own path in life despite feelings of invisibility, misunderstanding and discrimination often encountered. The song was inspired by the LGBTQ movement. I see my music as a way to bring people together. The album contains artwork done by British digital artist, Robert Clear and a fully-illustrated 8- page booklet with lyrics in Japanese and English. The album is available digitally through popular services such as iTunes, Amazon, Google Play and Line Music and physical copies are available at my live shows and through Bandcamp and CD Baby. The album was recorded at two locations in the United States- Mystery Ton Studios in Monrovia, Maryland and Shab Row Recording in Frederick, Maryland. 4. Do you have a tour planned to support this album? What’s up next for you? What are your goals? Craig: Yes. I have an initial mini tour planned starting in early April 2018, where I will be performing in DC. In May, I will travel to Los Angeles, where I will be doing a podcast interview and live performance for The Creative Muse Hour/LA Talk, followed up with a series of live performances at venues in North Hollywood, CA and Echo Park, CA as well as a house concert in Granada Hills, CA. In June, I will perform in NYC and then travel to London, England and Reykjavic, Iceland, where performances at a few pubs are currently in the works. In 2019, I plan to return to Japan and looking forward to performing again at Mutsukado in Fukuoka and the Choi-Waru-Usagi Live House in Nakatsu, Kyushu as well as a first-time performance in Osaka. Details will be found on my website at www.CraigDonovanSongs.com as arrangements are finalized. As for what’s up next for me, I am composing songs for a new album that I am planning to release on vinyl as well as digitally in 2019-2020. I also plan to re-enter the recording studio early next year. My future goals are to continue writing and recording high quality music for my fans, successfully placing my music in film, television or anime, meeting musicians to collaborate with, and learning the shamisen. 5. Please give a message to the Japanese music fans. Craig: To all of my friends in Japan old and new. Thank you very much for taking the time to read about me and my new release on Fab On. I hope you enjoy my music. Please keep up with my latest developments and feel free to contact me and become friends with me through email, my website and social media pages. I look forward to performing in Japan again soon. Love you all!

Despite their close economic relationship since 1965, their conflicting historic and political relationships and deep-seated prejudice against each other have continued. The Korean government’s official ban on the direct import of Japanese cultural products existed until 1997, but various kinds of Japanese cultural products, including popular music, found their way into Korea through various legal and illegal routes and influenced contemporary Korean popular culture. Since 1998, under Korea’s Open- Door Policy, legally available Japanese popular cultural products became widely consumed, especially among young Koreans fascinated by Japan’s quintessentially postmodern popular culture, despite lingering resentments towards Japan.

  • A Multi-Dimensional Study of the Emotion in Current Japanese Popular Music
    Acoust. Sci. & Tech. 34, 3 (2013) #2013 The Acoustical Society of Japan PAPER A multi-dimensional study of the emotion in current Japanese popular music Ryo Yonedaà and Masashi Yamada Graduate School of Engineering, Kanazawa Institute of Technology, 7–1 Ohgigaoka, Nonoich, 921–8501 Japan ( Received 22 March 2012, Accepted for publication 5 September 2012 ) Abstract: Musical psychologists illustrated musical emotion with various numbers of dimensions ranging from two to eight. Most of them concentrated on classical music. Only a few researchers studied emotion in popular music, but the number of pieces they used was very small. In the present study, perceptual experiments were conducted using large sets of popular pieces. In Experiment 1, ten listeners rated musical emotion for 50 J-POP pieces using 17 SD scales. The results of factor analysis showed that the emotional space was constructed by three factors, ‘‘evaluation,’’ ‘‘potency’’ and ‘‘activity.’’ In Experiment 2, three musicians and eight non-musicians rated musical emotion for 169 popular pieces. The set of pieces included not only J-POP tunes but also Enka and western popular tunes. The listeners also rated the suitability for several listening situations. The results of factor analysis showed that the emotional space for the 169 pieces was spanned by the three factors, ‘‘evaluation,’’ ‘‘potency’’ and ‘‘activity,’’ again. The results of multiple-regression analyses suggested that the listeners like to listen to a ‘‘beautiful’’ tune with their lovers and a ‘‘powerful’’ and ‘‘active’’ tune in a situation where people were around them. Keywords: Musical emotion, Popular music, J-POP, Semantic differential method, Factor analysis PACS number: 43.75.Cd [doi:10.1250/ast.34.166] ‘‘activity’’ [3].

    A TEACHER’S GUIDE TO THE SIGNET CLASSIC EDITION OF ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON’S DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE By JEANNE M. McGLINN and JAMES E. McGLINN SERIES EDITORS: W. GEIGER ELLIS, ED.D., UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA, EMERITUS and ARTHEA J. S. REED, PH.D., UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, RETIRED A Teacher’s Guide to the Signet Classic Edition of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde 2 INTRODUCTION Robert Louis Stevenson’s Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is an appropriate addition to a high school or college class in British Literature or a general literature class. It is a brief work, often referred to as a novella, that offers an interesting plot, vivid characters, elegant writing, and a provocative treatment of themes that continue to be relevant today. We encounter the mystery of Jekyll and Hyde through the eyes of the mild-mannered lawyer Mr. Utterson and experience increasing suspense with him as he tries to understand how his friend Dr. Jekyll is connected to the repulsive Mr. Hyde. The suspense is relieved somewhat but the mystery still remains when Utterson breaks down the door to Jekyll’s laboratory and finds Hyde dead on the floor with a crushed vial in his hand and “the strong smell of kernels that hung upon the air” (89). Utterson finally solves the mystery when he discovers the facts of Jekyll’s horrible experiment upon himself in the letters left to him by Dr. Lanyon and by Jekyll himself before he disappeared for the last time into the body and mind of Hyde.

  • Exploring the Cultural Phenomenon of Language in Japanese Band Names
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE 135 Hey! Say! JUMP: Exploring the cultural phenomenon of Language in Japanese band names Lee, Jackson Koon Yat & A.R.Woollock Abstract In Japan, English-language usage in the public sphere, from advertising through popular music, general media, and signage runs a gamut of uses and accuracies from the intentional and unintentional misuse, to the irreverent and the occasional sublime. This paper sets out to explore and record the use of English in the naming of Japanese pop and rock groups. The central thesis of this essay being that Japanese pop and rock group names fall into five distinct categories or phenomena: meaningless names using language other than Japanese, arbitrary names from second languages, bastardised 'other' language derivatives, Romanised Japanese, and mixed Japanese and other language. This grouping ignores those names rendered in kan-ji, which although acknowledged, are not specifically within the scope of this research. By deconstructing and analysing this use, it is hoped to contribute to discourse in the fields of both culture (cultural appropriation), and language (language use and accuracy). Keywords Japanese popular music, Japan, English Language, Wa-sei ei-go, Japanese culture [email protected] 136 Lee, Jackson Koon Yat & A.R.Woollock Introduction Glancing through the racks in your local Japanese music shop or rental store, the native speaker of English will be greeted with an array of Japanese band names which span the spectrum of use and comprehension from the expected and the mundane, through to the questionable and the incomprehensible.
