Wonderful art collection from Pixiv By Parka [[VIDEOID:moE74FSHXF1CCG]]Pixiv is one of Japan's largest art community. It's somewhat like deviantART but their website looks totally different. Pixiv have their own quarterly magazines and occasionally also publish art book collections. Pixiv Almanac Volume 1 is the English edition of the original Japanese edition Pixiv nenkan 2010 Official Book. There is actually a 2009 edition but for some reason, the 2010 edition was chosen to be the volume 1 in English. This paperback is 258 pages as compared to the 272 pages for the Japanese edition. I'm not sure if anything significant is missing. There are almost close to 200 artists featured in the book. It's mainly character art in different anime, manga and CG style. The variety is great except that most are female characters. Hatsune Miku seems like the most popular character and there are many pieces with her. There's only a handful of background art. Most illustrations are quite elaborate and detailed, the simplified anime style is actually rare. Each artist has only 1 to 2 pages of work featured. Some of them are printed smaller than quarter page size which makes it difficult to look at the details. The good thing is the artists' websites are provided so you can check out more of their art online. I'm impressed by the quality of submissions. This book really makes me wonder why deviantART don't have anything similar. It's a great book for those who like Japanese character art. (There are more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.) 6 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Would have been better with half the artists / larger art By Manuel A. Saez As with any collection of artwork (or art books in general) the main draw is and always will be the art; But what happens when the art is so small that you have to squint in order to make out any discernible details? Granted, I have better than average near-sightedness, and even I had trouble appreciating the work that was put into many of the pieces collected in this book. They were just too small, which admittedly, has now become a pet peeve of mine; why include an artist's work if it is too miniscule to view properly? The book gets a higher rating based on the sheer number of artist's featured, but really, it could have done with limiting the number of them to half of what was ultimately used and give the "best-of-the-best" full page spreads. Some of the work is so amazing, that they are severely gimped by taking up less than 10% of the page. Also, I understand that Japan has a fascination with Hatsune Miku and Vocaloid, but there were so many images of Miku throughout the book, you have to wonder whose idea it was to showcase that much fanart based on one character. It is the equivalent of having a calendar of the same model in different poses; some people will be into it, but as for me, I like variety. I have nothing against Vocaloid, but so many images of the same design is overkill and should have been saved for a book devoted to said character. What's wrong with releasing a collection devoted to Kinu/Vocaloid? That being said, if you don't mind that at times up to 8 images are crammed onto a page not much larger than standard paper size (8.5"X 11"), you will be treated to some awesome work by some truly talented individuals. I just feel as if their work deserves much better treatment. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Not My Favorite Pixiv Book, But You Can't Always Please Everyone By Stephen J. Weber Personally, I found the selections in here to be on the disappointing side compared to the other Pixiv books released in Japan, but that's just my personal tase. I do, however, think that it is a good start for Pixiv art books in English. I was a bit surprised to find that it does not have a dust jacket like the books from Japan, but it does use high-quality, glossy paper (which does a very good job of reflecting light). Honestly, it's hard to review an art book without factoring in personal taste. The selections in here will appeal to some people, but for others, they will not. The construction of the book itself is very well done. See all 14 customer reviews... PIXIV ALMANAC BY VARIOUS PDF Gather guide Pixiv Almanac By Various begin with currently.

  • Subculture As Social Knowledge: a Hopeful Reading of Otaku Culture
    DE GRUYTER Contemporary Japan 2016; 28(1): 33–57 Open Access Brett Hack* Subculture as social knowledge: a hopeful reading of otaku culture DOI 10.1515/cj-2016-0003 Abstract: This essay analyzes Japan’s otaku subculture using Hirokazu Miya- zaki’s (2006) definition of hope as a “reorientation of knowledge.” Erosion of postwar social systems has tended to instill a sense of hopelessness among many Japanese youth. Hopelessness manifests as two analogous kinds of refus- al: individual social withdrawal and recourse to solipsistic neonationalist ideol- ogy. Previous analyses of otaku have demonstrated its connections with these two reactions. Here, I interrogate otaku culture’s relationship to neonationalism by investigating its interaction with the xenophobic online subculture known as the netto uyoku. Characterizing both subcultures as discursive practices, I argue that the similarity between netto uyoku and otaku is not one of identity but one of method. Netto uyoku discourse serves to perform an imagined na- tionalist persona. While otaku elements can be incorporated into netto uyoku performance, other net users invoke the otaku faculty of parody to highlight the constructed nature of netto uyoku identity through ironic recontextualiza- tion. This application of otaku principles enables a description of otaku culture as a form of social knowledge, reoriented here to defuse the climate of hope- lessness purveyed by the netto uyoku. In the final section, I offer examples of subcultural knowledge being applied to national and international issues in order to indicate its further potential as a source of enabling hope for Japanese youth. Keywords: otaku, subculture, nationalism, Internet, media studies, Japanese studies, cultural studies 1 Introduction This essay investigates social orientations within Japanese subcultures accord- ing to anthropologist Hirokazu Miyazaki’s (2006: 160) definition of hope as a * Corresponding author: Brett Hack, Aichi Prefectural University, E-mail: [email protected] © 2016 Brett Hack, licensee De Gruyter.

  • Reimagining Riben Guizi: Japanese Tactical Media Performance After the 2010 Senkaku/Diaoyu Boat Collision Incident
    International Journal of Communication 11(2017), 344–362 1932–8036/20170005 Reimagining Riben Guizi: Japanese Tactical Media Performance After the 2010 Senkaku/Diaoyu Boat Collision Incident YASUHITO ABE1 Doshisha University, Japan This article investigates a Japanese online participatory community, the Hinomoto Oniko project, that emerged after the Senkaku/Diaoyu boat collision incident of 2010 in the East China Sea. Drawing on tactical media as a conceptual framework, this study analyzes how the project challenged the prevailing meaning of a Chinese slur against the Japanese via tactical use of visual media and examines how its cultural and aesthetic performances were reproduced in the Japanese media landscape. This facilitates analysis of the implications of its cultural and aesthetic performances in a networked era. Keywords: tactical media, moe, history, Japan, China This study examines a Japanese online participatory community that emerged in Japan after the Senkaku/Diaoyu boat collision incident of 2010 in the East China Sea: the Hinomoto Oniko project. The project remade a Chinese term into various images of that term though visual media; specifically, the Hinomoto Oniko project transformed the pronunciation of the Chinese term into a Japanese reading and substituted cartoon-like characters for the term. In doing so, the project sought to create an alternative space for communication between Japanese and Chinese people, albeit briefly. The project did not necessarily succeed in making the most of an opportunity for promoting communication between Japanese and Chinese people, but the project highlights the characteristic of tactical media performance in East Asia. The Chinese term temporarily disrupted by the Hinomoto Oniko project is 日本鬼子 (Riben Guizi), which originally meant “Japanese are devils” in Chinese.

  • Beauty Is in the Eye of the “Produser”: Japan's Virtual Idol Hatsune Miku from Software, to Network, to Stage
    BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE “PRODUSER”: JAPAN'S VIRTUAL IDOL HATSUNE MIKU FROM SOFTWARE, TO NETWORK, Intermittence + Interference POST-SCREEN: TO STAGE ANA MATILDE SOUSA ANA MATILDE SOUSA 117 INTRODUCTION The “virtual idol” dream is not new, but Hatsune Miku — a cybercelebrity origi- nating from Japan who is steadily becoming a worldwide phenomenon — con- stitutes a paradigm shift in this lineage initiated in 1958 by the novelty group of anthropomorphic squirrels Alvin and the Chipmunks. Since then many have followed, from The Archies to Gorillaz and 2.0Pac. In Japan, HoriPro’s “digital kid”, Date Kyoko, pioneered the cyber frontier with her hit single “Love Commu- nication” in 1996 (Wolff, n.d.). While in 2011, the idol supergroup AKB48 pulled an infamous publicity stunt by revealing their new girl, Aimi Eguchi, was a com- puter-generated combination of other group members (Chen, 2011). So what does Miku have that they do not? Despite her apparent similar- ity to fictional characters such as Rei Toei from William Gibson’s Idoru, Miku’s phenomenon has less to do with futuristic prospects of technological singu- larity than with present-day renegotiations of the roles of author, work and fan in Web 2.0 media cultures. By addressing her softwarennetworknstage transformations, this study draws on a rapidly growing scholarship (Hama- saki, Takeda, & Nishimura, 2008; Le, 2013; Conner, 2014; Guga, 2014; Annett, 2015; Leavitt, Knight, & Yoshiba, 2016) to investigate how Miku’s appearance on screen(s) has shaped her construction as a virtual idol through grassroots- corporate “produsage” (Bruns, 2008). MIKU, FROM THE BEGINNING With a visionary name announcing the “First Sound of Future”, Hatsune POST-SCREEN: Intermittence + Interference POST-SCREEN: Miku, created in August 2007 by Sapporo-based company Crypton Future Me- dia, is the most popular avatar of Yamaha’s cutting-edge voice synthesizer VO- CALOID.

  • Controlling the Spreadability of the Japanese Fan Comic: Protective Practices in the Dōjinshi Community
    . Volume 17, Issue 2 November 2020 Controlling the spreadability of the Japanese fan comic: Protective practices in the dōjinshi community Katharina Hülsmann, Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf, Germany Abstract: This article examines the practices of Japanese fan artists to navigate the visibility of their own works within the infrastructure of dōjinshi (amateur comic) culture and their effects on the potential spreadability of this form of fan comic in a transcultural context (Chin and Morimoto 2013). Beyond the vast market for commercially published graphic narratives (manga) in Japan lies a still expanding and particularizing market for amateur publications, which are primarily exchanged in printed form at specialized events and not digitally over the internet. Most of the works exchanged at these gatherings make use of scenarios and characters from commercially published media, such as manga, anime, games, movies or television series, and can be classified as fan works, poaching from media franchises and offering a vehicle for creative expression. The fan artists publish their works by making use of the infrastructure provided by specialized events, bookstores and online printing services (as described in detail by Noppe 2014), without the involvement of a publishing company and without the consent of copyright holders. In turn, this puts the artists at risk of legal action, especially when their works are referring to the content owned by notoriously strict copyright holders such as The Walt Disney Company, which has acquired Marvel Comics a decade ago. Based on an ethnographic case study of Japanese fan artists who create fan works of western source materials (the most popular during the observed timeframe being The Marvel Cinematic Universe), the article identifies different tactics used by dōjinshi artists to ensure their works achieve a high degree of visibility amongst their target audience of other fans and avoid attracting the attention of casual audiences or copyright holders.

  • Tōhō Project
    Corso di laurea magistrale in Lingue, economie e istituzioni dell’Asia e dell’Africa mediterranea Tesi di Laurea Tōhō Project Storia ed evoluzione di un videogame divenuto paradiso dei fan per i fan Relatore Prof. Pierantonio Zanotti Correlatrice Prof.ssa Caterina Mazza Laureando Patrick Bergamo Matricola 833725 Anno Accademico 2018 / 2019 1 Tōhō Project Storia ed evoluzione di un videogame divenuto paradiso dei fan per i fan Abstract: Con il seguente elaborato desidero portare l'attenzione su uno dei più importanti fenomeni che hanno coinvolto il mondo videoludico giapponese negli ultimi anni, la serie di videogiochi denominata Tōhō Project ed il mondo del fangame che orbita attorno ad essa. Cominciata per la prima volta nell’agosto del 1997 con il titolo Tōhō Reiiden per la piattaforma del PC-98, e sviluppata in tutte le sue parti da un’unica persona, il programmatore giapponese Ōta Jun'ya, conosciuto con lo pseudonimo di ZUN, questa serie ha visto un’evoluzione esponenziale arrivando a contare ad oggi ben ventotto titoli, senza calcolare le migliaia di altre opere prodotte dai fan. Proprio per questo motivo, infatti, seppur fuori dal Giappone e nell'ambito accademico esistano ancora pochi studi ed analisi relativi a questo videogame, è innegabile come questo gioco sia stato l'inizio di un importante fenomeno di massa in grado di attrarre a sé l'attenzione di ormai più di una generazione di videogiocatori, arrivando, anche grazie a merchandise, concerti, personalità ed eventi collaterali, a coinvolgere ogni anno diverse migliaia di giovani. Lo studio dell'evoluzione e delle ragioni che hanno portato il Tōhō Project ad evolversi da una serie di semplici giochi indie degli anni novanta sino ad entrare nel Guinness dei primati come la saga sparatutto dōjin con più titoli al mondo (Guinness World Record 2011) avverrà secondo diverse modalità di ricerca e mediante l’uso di svariate fonti.
