  • Since Cornelius's Music Often Evokes the Harmonies, Instrumentation, And
    New Sound 25 Loren Y. Kajikawa “An Escape From the Planet of the Apes: Accounting for Cornelius’s International Reception” Article received on October 4, 2004 UDC 78.067.26 (52) Cornelius Loren Y. Kajikawa “AN ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES: ACCOUNTING FOR CORNELIUS’S INTERNATIONAL RECEPTION” “Monkey See, Monkey Do”: Authenticity, Imitation, and Translation Abstract: Electronic/rock musician Cornelius (Keigo Oyamada) belongs to a loosely constructed genre of Japanese pop termed “Shibuya-kei.” Groups in this genre—Pizzicato Five, Flipper’s Guitar, and Scha Dara Parr among others— emulate the sounds and textures of pre-existing tunes, transforming Western popular music and creating a new and unique sound that has become a source of pride to Japanese music enthusiasts. Cornelius has produced a number of imaginative CDs and videos, and fans and critics in North America, Western Europe, and Australia have embraced his work. Yet Cornelius’s popularity, which is a rare occurrence for a Japanese pop musician in the West, raises a number of interesting questions about how listeners interpret music across boundaries of language and culture. First, this paper explores how Cornelius has been received by American critics, arguing that written reviews of his music stand as acts of “translation” that interpolate Cornelius’s music into Western discourses while overlooking the Japanese cultural context from which such work emerges. Secondly, this paper draws on published interviews to contextualize Cornelius’s use of “blank parody” as a possible defense strategy against this burden of Western civilization. And finally, this paper offers its own interpretation of Cornelius’s musical significance: Putting forward a utopian, post-national, cybernetic artistic vision, Cornelius’s electronic music collages avoid invoking racialized bodies in ways that have been problematic for Japanese jazz, rock, and hip-hop musicians.

  • Linkin Park's "One More Light" Debuts #1
    LINKIN PARK'S "ONE MORE LIGHT" DEBUTS #1 BAND'S SIXTH #1 ALBUM ON BILLBOARD 200 NORTH AMERICAN LEG OF ONE MORE LIGHT WORLD TOUR KICKS OFF JULY 27TH Photo credit: James Minchin May 30, 2017 (Burbank, CA) - One More Light, the seventh studio album from rock outliers Linkin Park, debuts at #1, their sixth album with a #1 debut and the band's 10th top 10 album on the Billboard 200. The album launched with 111,000 equivalent units in the week ending May 25th. "Topping the chart for the sixth time, Linkin Park joins a small group of rock bands that have done the same. Just nine bands in total have scored at least six No.1 albums: The Beatles (with 19), The Rolling Stones (nine), Led Zeppelin and U2 (both with seven), and Bon Jovi, Dave Matthews Band, Eagles, Linkin Park and Metallica (all with six each)." - Billboard "Linkin Park are always pushing themselves and pushing us to break new fresh creative ground, and this album is certainly no exception," said Dan McCarroll, President, Warner Bros. Records. Linkin Park was everywhere during their album release week with a slew of buzz-worthy events. They kicked off the week with a pop-up performance in a New York subway on Good Morning America, then headed to LA to play the outdoor stage at Jimmy Kimmel Live!, where fans were treated to a seven-song set of new material and LP classics. The band then hit Vegas and hosted a One More Light worldwide listening party through all their social platforms, then headlined the sold-out opening night of CBS Radio's "SPF 2017." The week commenced with an Album Listening Party and a live performance at the iHeartRadio Theater in Burbank.

  • 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.

  • CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION This Chapter Describes the General
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION This chapter describes the general outlines of the present study. It begins with background, research question, research significance, definition of key term, and the organization of writing. 1.1 Background Language is human and non-instinctive method of communicating ideas, feelings, and desire by means of a system sounds and sound symbols Hornby (1972:473). Human-language is a system of vocal-auditory communication, interacting with the experiences of its users, employing conventional signs composed of arbitrary patterned sound units and assembled according to set rules. People use language to communicate and interact to each other. It is easier to convey information to another people in order to share knowledge. All features about language are studied in linguistics. Linguistics has four main branches of study: phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics. In this thesis, study focuses on semantics. According to Palmer in Aminuddin (1988:15) semantics is „to signify‟ or „make sense‟. He argue that technical term of semantics implies the study of meaning, semantics is part of linguistics. Like sounds and grammar, meaning components also occupy a certain level in the sound of language. The components of grammar (morphology, and syntax cover) occupy the second level, and the component of meaning is the last stage. From the explanation by Aminuddin, semantic is the technical term used to refer the study of meaning, and since meaning is part of language, semantic is part of linguistic. Based on explanation above, semantic is the study of meaning and talk about meaning. Huford and Hasely (2007:1) argue that semantics is the study of meaning in language.

  • "Ersatz As the Day Is Long": Japanese Popular
    “ERSATZ AS THE DAY IS LONG”: JAPANESE POPULAR MUSIC, THE STRUGGLE FOR AUTHNETICITY, AND COLD WAR ORIENTALISM Robyn P. Perry A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2021 Committee: Walter Grunden, Advisor Jeremy Wallach © 2021 Robyn P. Perry All Rights Reserve iii ABSTRACT Walter Grunden, Advisor During the Allied Occupation of Japan, Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers (SCAP) Douglas MacArthur set forth on a mission to Americanize Japan. One way SCAP decided this could be done was by utilizing forms of media that were already popular in Japan, particularly the radio. The Far East Network (FEN), a network of American military radio and television stations in Japan, Okinawa, Guam, and the Philippines, began to broadcast American country & western music. By the early 1950s, Japanese country & western ensembles would begin to form, which initiated the evolution toward modern J-pop. During the first two decades of the Cold War, performers of various postwar subgenres of early Japanese rock (or J-rock), including country & western, rockabilly, kayōkyoku, eleki, and Group Sounds, would attempt to break into markets in the West. While some of these performers floundered, others were able to walk side-by-side with several Western greats or even become stars in their own right, such as when Kyu Sakamoto produced a number one hit in the United States with his “Sukiyaki” in 1963. The way that these Japanese popular music performers were perceived in the West, primarily in the United States, was rooted in centuries of Orientalist preconceptions about Japanese people, Japanese culture, and Japan that had recently been recalibrated to reflect the ethos of the Cold War.

  • WRESTLING with OR EMBRACING DIGITIZATION in the MUSIC INDUSTRY the Contrasting Business Strategies of J-Pop and K-Pop
    Parc & Kawashima / Wrestling with or Embracing Digitization 23 WRESTLING WITH OR EMBRACING DIGITIZATION IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY The Contrasting Business Strategies of J-pop and K-pop Jimmyn Parc Seoul National University and Sciences Po Paris [email protected] Nobuko Kawashima Doshisha University [email protected] Abstract Digitization has significantly changed the process for producing and consuming music: from analogue to digital, albums to songs, possess to access, audio to visual, and end products to promotional products. In this globalized digital era, actively embracing digitization would likely help enhance the competitiveness of the music industry. The rise of K-pop and the decline of J-pop clearly demonstrate the different results from whether to embrace or wrestle with digitization. The Korean music industry recognized changes brought on by digitization earlier and was more active in responding with effective strategies. By contrast, the Japanese music industry did not immediately respond to these changes but stuck to its rent-seeking behavior in order to take advantage of its larger market size and ‘sophisticated’ copyright regime. The implications from this paper is that business activities are the core element for creating and enhancing competitiveness of the music industries.
