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. -

Prof.ssa Maria Novielli Correlatore Ch. Prof.ssa Paola Scrolavezza Laureando Myriam Ciurlia Matricola 826490 Anno Accademico 2013 / 2014 A papà. RINGRAZIAMENTI Ringrazio la mia famiglia: mio papà, che per anni e anni mi ha ascoltata mentre parlavo di Johnny’s , Yamapi, “Jin-l’odioso ” e di Giappone e passioni. Per aver sognato con me, sostenuto le mie scelte e aver avuto più fiducia in me di quanta ne abbia io. Alla mamma che mi ha costretta a giudicare oggettivamente le mie scelte, anche quando non volevo, e mi ha aiutata in cinque anni di studi fuori sede. Le mie cugine, Jessica, per la sua amicizia e Betty, per i suoi consigli senza i quali questa tesi oggi sarebbe molto diversa. Ringrazio mio nonno, per le sue premure e la sua pazienza quando dicevo che sarebbero passati in un baleno, quei mesi in Giappone o quell’anno a Venezia. La nonna, per il suo amore e le sue attenzioni. Le piccole Luna e Sally, per avermi tenuto compagnia dormendo sulle mie gambe quando studiavo per gli esami e per i mille giochi fatti insieme. Ringrazio le mie coinquiline: Ylenia, Caterina, Alessandra, Dafne, Veronica M. e Veronica F. Per le serate passate a guardare il Jersey Shore o qualche serie TV assurda e tutte le risate, la camomilla che in realtà è prosecco, le pulizie con sottofondo musicale, da Gunther a Édith Piaf. Per le chiacchierate fatte mentre si cucinava in quattro in una cucina troppo piccola, per le ciambelle alle sei del mattino prima di un esame e tutte le piccole gentilezze quotidiane. -

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. -
