  • Nakayama Shimpei's Popular Songs in the History Of

    THE RULES OF HEART: NAKAYAMA SHIMPEI'S POPULAR SONGS IN THE HISTORY OF MODERN JAPAN A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN HISTORY DECEMBER 2014 By Patrick M. Patterson Dissertation Committee: Mark McNally, Chairperson James Kraft Christine Yano Jun Yoo Nobuko Ochner For Takako, Matthew, Erin, Charles and Judy I Acknowledgements: I would like to thank my dissertation committee: Mark McNally, James Kraft, Christine Yano, Jun Yoo, and Nobuko Ochner for their patience, encouragement and support. I also want to thank Deborah Forbis for her encouragement and willingness to read and re-read for stylistic errors, and to my colleagues Cynthia Smith and David Panisnick for their support. Thanks also to my parents, who have encouraged me all along. Without these people this dissertation would not have come into existence. Any errors are, of course, solely my responsibility and no doubt occurred in spite of all of the assistance mentioned above. Last, and most important, I wish to thank Takako Patterson, a most valued critic and my inspiration. II Abstract Composer Nakayama Shimpei (1887-1952) wrote more than 300 popular songs in his lifetime. Most are still well known and recorded regularly. An entrepreneur, he found ways to create popular songs that powered Japan’s nascent recording industry in the 1920s and 1930s. An artist, his combination of Japanese and Western musical styles and tropes appealed to Japanese sentiments in a way that not only reflected the historical and social context, but anticipated and explained those historical changes to his listeners.
