Michael Spencer, Managing Director of Sound Strategies; Visiting Professor, Research Centre for Music and Culture at Ueno Gakuen Michael Spencer, Managing Director of Sound Strategies; Visiting Professor, Research Centre for Music and Culture at Ueno Gakuen University (Tokyo), and Communication Director, Japan Philharmonic Orchestra commented on how very lucky it was to have Yoshiki, a rock legend and classical composer, in London as very little music travels outside of Japan. Spencer said that Yoshiki has been called the Bono of Japan and has had a Hello Kitty doll named after him. Yoshiki discovered heavy metal aged ten thanks to the heavy metal band KISS. He is the face of X JAPAN and one of Asia’s most influential rock stars. He gets mobbed when he visits Shanghai, Taiwan or Hong Kong. X JAPAN is the most successful Japanese rock band and has sold more than 30 million albums, singles and videos. In 1999 the Japanese government asked Yoshiki to compose music to celebrate the current Emperor’s tenth year anniversary. In the lecture room of the Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation, Yoshiki played ‘Anniversary’, written to celebrate the Emperor’s 20th anniversary. Yoshiki was also asked to be the music director of the 2005 World Expo in Aichi prefecture, and composed the Expo’s theme tune. Yoshiki previously played at the Shepherd Bush Empire in 2011 but has never played at London’s Royal Festival Hall. Asked by Spencer what it’s like to crowd surf, Yoshiki replied that it is a real challenge and you have to be famous in order for the crowd to go to the trouble of holding you up. Yoshiki said that music is music and that he sees no difference between classical and rock music. He has an eclectic taste in music and at home listens to Bach, Chopin, Metallica, the Beatles and Queen to name a few. Spencer pointed out that Yoshiki has a fan base that stretches across the world. When asked why he is so popular world-wide, Yoshiki put it down to the internet and the fact that he doesn’t compromise. Yoshiki spoke about the Yoshiki Foundation America which was founded in 2010 to support children who have health or family problems. In 2011 after the earthquake and tsunami which hit the north-eastern part of Japan, Yoshiki Foundation America shifted its work to help victims of the disaster. Yoshiki said that there are not many artists in Japan who support charities and that it is hard to apply to set up foundations in Japan - it can take up to three years to start one up. That needs to change Yoshiki said. He emphasised that charity is or should be an everyday activity and shouldn’t be regarded as something special. In the summer of 2013 Yoshiki visited Ishinomaki and met the mayor. He visited kindergartens as well as primary and secondary schools in order to meet children and teachers. Many of the children he spoke with had lost their parents and many of the teachers had lost their children and pupils. The teachers were aware of the importance of staying strong for the sake of the students. Yoshiki said that no one is looking after the teachers and said that he wants to keep supporting them. Touching on the Fukushima radiation problem, Yoshiki said that this is not a Japanese problem but a world problem, and Yoshiki said he wanted to bring awareness of this problem to as many people as possible. Spencer asked Yoshiki if he feels that he has a platform. Yoshiki said he did but that he has to be careful as to how he uses it. Asked why he moved to the USA (he lives in Los Angeles), Yoshiki said it was accidental. Twenty years ago he wanted to record with Sony Records. He wanted to go to London but the rest of his group said they wanted to go to California so that is what they did. Yoshiki built a studio in California and finished recording six months later. The rest of his band returned to Japan but Yoshiki stayed behind wondering what to do with the studio. He then bought a house. The questions raised after the talk included what the greatest obstacles for Japanese artists to succeed overseas are. Yoshiki said he wished he knew as it is important to see the bigger picture. He said that with the rise of Korean and Chinese music Asian music will soon start making an impact on the world. He also said that it is necessary to learn English and that learning English is much easier than composing. He said that it is necessary to be confident and not have as a goal to just break the domestic market. PR is also very important as is the way concerts are promoted. Not everything is going to be smooth abroad said Yoshiki, but that it is important to ‘when in Rome do as the Romans do’. Yoshiki enjoys the process of travelling abroad. There have been times when he has had to wait five hours for a ten minute interview in the past, but he doesn’t mind. Once he goes overseas he starts the process all over again. Asked if he would be interested in creating a rock opera Yoshiki said he would be. Asked where in the world he would like to perform, he said, very diplomatically, the Royal Festival Hall. Yoshiki was asked if he feels like a musical diplomat. He responded by saying that he has many friends who are politicians, but that it is important to keep arts and politics separate, however, and that it is his job to make people think. He tries to do this through the medium of music. Asked how his parents responded to his liking for KISS, Yoshiki said that his father was a jazz pianist and a tap dancer and that his mother played the shamisen. Yoshiki’s father would buy a new music album every month and would buy Yoshiki a musical instrument every birthday. Yoshiki started buying his own albums and, aged ten, he asked his mother to take him to the aforementioned KISS concert. His mother went dressed in a kimono and Yoshiki’s five year old brother also joined them. Asked whether he likes the drum or piano better, Yoshiki replied that the drum has more space for him to hit. .

  • Akiko Kiyama Biography
    Akiko Kiyama Facebook | SoundCloud info [at] akikokiyama.com Album / Deviation / Nervmusic (NERV008) Album Preview Biography (English) Japanese, Tokyo based, Akiko Kiyama holds a hefty 30 releases including 3 albums to her name on world renowned labels such as Contexterrior, MEAN, Nervmusic and op.disc amongst others. Akiko grew up in Tokyo, Japan with an education dominated by music, a classically trained pianist and guitar player by the age of twelve, she went on to explore and teach herself how to fuse her classic skills with sounds created by electronic equipment. Over the years that followed Akiko fell deeper into dance music, eager to evolve and create electronically manipulated sounds and atmospheres, she began producing in 2002. Akiko’s first works were released in 2004; her debut EP “Dimension” on London’s Sud Electronic received outstanding support from the industry and names such as Richie Hawtin, Sven Vaeth and Ricardo Villalobos. Inspired by such an overwhelming debut Akiko went straight back into the studio, the result of which was her “Like Ancient” track being licensed by M-nus Records and going on to appear on Richie Hawtin’s DE9 Transitions Compilation. Akiko’s sound is a complex pattern of sounds. Raw and industrial, dark and moody, her signature sits firmly within the minimal style, but with harmonic narratives giving shape and structure. It’s rare that a sound so minimal results in something so engrossing, something that sucks you in and keeps you listening intently on what’s going to happen next. Akiko’s tracks feel like stories, captivatingly told through her experimentation with sound.

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.

  • An Analysis of Twentieth-Century Flute Sonatas by Ikuma Dan, Hikaru
    Flute Repertoire from Japan: An Analysis of Twentieth-Century Flute Sonatas by Ikuma Dan, Hikaru Hayashi, and Akira Tamba D.M.A. Document Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Daniel Ryan Gallagher, M.M. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2019 D.M.A. Document Committee: Professor Katherine Borst Jones, Advisor Dr. Arved Ashby Dr. Caroline Hartig Professor Karen Pierson 1 Copyrighted by Daniel Ryan Gallagher 2019 2 Abstract Despite the significant number of compositions by influential Japanese composers, Japanese flute repertoire remains largely unknown outside of Japan. Apart from standard unaccompanied works by Tōru Takemitsu and Kazuo Fukushima, other Japanese flute compositions have yet to establish a permanent place in the standard flute repertoire. The purpose of this document is to broaden awareness of Japanese flute compositions through the discussion, analysis, and evaluation of substantial flute sonatas by three important Japanese composers: Ikuma Dan (1924-2001), Hikaru Hayashi (1931- 2012), and Akira Tamba (b. 1932). A brief history of traditional Japanese flute music, a summary of Western influences in Japan’s musical development, and an overview of major Japanese flute compositions are included to provide historical and musical context for the composers and works in this document. Discussions on each composer’s background, flute works, and compositional style inform the following flute sonata analyses, which reveal the unique musical language and characteristics that qualify each work for inclusion in the standard flute repertoire. These analyses intend to increase awareness and performance of other Japanese flute compositions specifically and lesser- known repertoire generally.

  • Press Release – Global X Japan Launches Global X
    Press Release Global X Japan launches Global X Digital Innovation Japan ETF, its first engagement with Solactive 27 January 2021 Global X Japan, a joint venture between Global X ETFs and Daiwa Securities established in 2020, launched its new Global X Digital Innovation Japan ETF [Ticker: 2626] on January 27th, 2021, on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. This release marks Global X’s first engagement with Solactive on Japanese ground after Global X, a sub-brand of Mirae Asset Global Investments, issued multiple successful ETFs tracking Solactive indices in HK, Europe, and the US. The Global X Digital Innovation Japan ETF tracks Solactive’s Digital Innovation Japan Index, which is powered by ARTIS®, Solactive’s proprietary big data and natural language processing algorithm. The index includes an ESG screening carried out by ESG data provider Minerva Analytics Ltd. The screening excludes companies not compliant with the UN Global Compact and businesses affiliated with controversial industries. Japan is pushing for digitalization. The country’s plan to establish a new governmental Digitalization Agency by September 20211 owes to the fact that the state’s current lack of digitalization could burden its economy with an annual cost of, according to some estimates, 12 trillion yen (about 116 billion USD)2. Pioneering companies in this field could benefit from the resulting surge in demand and political initiatives. The Index The Solactive Digital Innovation Japan Index includes Japanese companies that are pioneers in digital innovation and, therefore, represents companies that are likely to contribute to the Japanese societal transformation plans. The Solactive Digital Innovation Japan Index includes eleven sub-themes of digital innovation: Cloud Computing; Cyber Security; Remote Communications; Online Project and Document Management; Online Healthcare and Telemedicine; Digital, Online, and Video Gaming; Video and Media streaming; Online Education; Social Networks; E-commerce; and E-payments.

  • 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].
