From medieval street singers to singing cowboys, Babymetal and the City Pop revival, this course offers an expansive survey of Japanese popular music. In studying the origins of the commercial music industry, we will complicate notions of “the popular” and Japan’s relationship to Western theories, concepts, and aesthetics of musical practice in the 19th and 20th centuries. In taking popular music seriously as a historical object of study, this course provides students with a lens through which to explore broader social, cultural and economic histories of Japan’s “modernization” and the ongoing implications of its imperial shadow in East Asia. Students will also be invited to take part in a retro Japanese roller disco. Restriction(s): Restricted to students with Graduate class standing.
