Johnny's Entertainment
Auteures: Anaïs BARONNAT et Alison PENNS-GUALCO Introduction Au Japon, il existe un bon nombre de styles musicaux. Cependant, ces dernières années, le visual kei et la pop se sont fait de plus en plus présents dans l’univers musical et médiatique japonais. Nous allons ici nous intéresser au genre le plus populaire qu’est la musique pop ou plus communément appelée J-pop. La J-pop tient ses origines de la musique traditionnelle japonaise et a été influencée dans les années 1960 par le rock. De nos jours, elle est utilisée dans les séries animées, les magasins, les publicités, les films, les émissions radio ou télévisuelles, et les jeux vidéo. Ce genre de musique renvoie principalement à des chansons sur l’amour, la jeunesse et l’amitié accompagnées d’instruments électriques et de synthétiseurs. La J-pop représente une part importante de la musique populaire au Japon, principalement due à la hausse des groupes d’idoles aussi bien masculins que féminins. Ces artistes sont souvent définis comme peu talentueux dans le domaine musical mais compensent cela par des performances artistiques telles que la danse et par leur style vestimentaire etc. Ils sont aussi caractérisés par leur capacité à nouer avec leurs fans une relation de confiance, ce qui leur permet aujourd’hui de fédérer de nombreux fan clubs. Une agence a su tirer profit de cette vague d’idoles en faisant le choix de les former et de les produire dès leur début jusqu’à la fin de leur carrière : il s’agit de la Johnny’s Entertainement (aussi appelée Johnny’s Jimusho). -
