• Dubbed in Patois: Musical Mimicry Involving the Chinese in Wartime Japanese Popular Songs
  KASAI Amane
  East Asian Journal of Popular Culture, 10, 1, 29, 42, Intellect, 27 Apr. 2024, [Peer-reviewed], [Lead author]
  English, Scientific journal, This article examines the politics of cultural differentiation in wartime Japan, especially from the viewpoint of linguistic imperialism and musical mimicry, by researching official documents, newspapers and magazines, as well as investigating popular songs. Various sources from this period demonstrate that Japanese critics, musicians and musicologists were conscious of the cultural difference between Asian regions, even while the government propagated a unified East Asia. Different actors pursued contradictory objectives of cultural assimilation and dissimilation, reflecting tensions and contradictions in both popular attitudes and official policy. On the other hand, the boundary was distorted in musical practices, as seen in the way different languages were selected and used in the lyrics of wartime popular songs. This article analyses two cases as examples of this phenomenon: (1) popular songs sung by Chinese singers, mostly female, in Japanese patois, and (2) songs by Japanese singers in broken and role language. Even during the Second Sino-Japanese War, Chinese and Japanese singers visited each other’s countries on the pretext of ‘goodwill’ to record songs and participate in shows or radio broadcasts for local audiences., 43643378

  Japanese, In this paper, I examine how the dances in modern Expositions can be analyzed from a perspective of colonialism. I will focus on two specific examples of Ryukyu-teodori and Takasagozoku-buyo. By doing so, I make the relationship between Japanese colonialism and performing arts clear.
  The modern era has been known as "the era of Expositions". In 1851, the first World Exposition was held in London, and then expositions took place continuously in larger Western cities such as Paris and Vienna in Europe, Philadelphia and Chicago in the United States. Each country competed to set up colonial pavilions in Expositions. To place colonial things on exhibition was to show the nations' capability for foreign influence. Therefore, the expositions might be the best opportunity for effective propaganda in presenting a country's growing national power to the global community.
  The representation of colonies has its roots in earlier ages. From the 18^th to the 19^th centuries, Western powers have made wide inroads into non-Western countries. At that time, the study of natural history was prevalent in Europe, and European scholars were strongly interested in the people of non-Western cultures. And the same features also appeared in Japanese modern expositions, since both Japan and Western countries shared the same characteristics as settlers, despite the geopolitical differences.
  In 1900, the 5^th National Industrial Exhibition was held in Osaka. The Academic Anthropic Pavilion (Gakujyutsu jinrui-kan) exhibited examples of colonial populations gathered from Okinawa, Hokkaido, and Taiwan, as a kind of "freak show". This action caused a huge uproar in some regions, because people in those areas thought that it was degrading to have shown some region-specific (in other words, "abnormal") folklores to the colonizing culture which decided the standard of "normal" during the era of colonial rule. This idea was especially strong in Okinawa, and the fact that several women of Okinawa gave a public performance of the traditional dance (Ryukyu-teodori) in this pavilion came under severe criticism in the Okinawan media, particularly among intellectuals. Such arguments are clearly related to Japanese Okinawan policies based on the idea of assimilation, which requires Okinawa to become a part of Japanese culture, even while severe discrimination remained. The people in Okinawa were educating themselves as "Japanese citizens" in these days. The colonists forced the people in Okinawa to make an effort to become "Japanese" like the immigrant settlers. In spite of this, people from Okinawa were exhibited in a showcase with Ainu or Taiwanese, who were retarded as "inferior breeds" by them.
  However, another performance by Okinawan people was widely and favorably accepted, though it was at the same Exposition and was the same kind of traditional dance as was displayed at the Academic Anthropic Pavilion. That was the dance revue by "beautiful Okinawan women" (Ryukyu-bijin teodori-kai). This shows that not content, but context of performance is at stake. It is interesting from the perspective of colonialism and gendered body, since there were accusations that the women who appeared in the Academic Anthropic Pavilion were "prostitutes", while women who performed in the Okinawan dance revue were praised as "actresses".
  Meanwhile, there was a completely different phenomenon in Taiwan, another colony of Japan. The Takasago, a Taiwanese indigenous tribe who performed at the Taiwanese Exposition in 1935 responded in another way. The colonizers viewed the traditional performance like Takasago-dance as a peculiar but interesting entertainment in this Exposition. Yet, even though they were treated as a "freak show", the Takasago performers who appeared on the stage h

  KASAI Amane
  This research reveals how values or labels have historically been put on music genres as well as how national identity has been established in relation to each genre of music, contrasting cases in East Asia before and during World War II. It investigates the musical terminology used in newspapers, magazines, radio programs or records to clarify its contexts and meanings. In terms of conceptualization and musical performances, it also considers how each genre of music has been connected to the propaganda and restructured according to the cultural policy.

  After the Sino-Japanese war, a lot of Chinese intellectuals moved to the coastal cities that the Japanese troops had withdrawn. They promptly established bases for publishing media, theater, and movies. Next, due to the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, an intellectual outflow to Hong Kong and Taiwan occurred. During this chaotic period, the literary ideology of the Communist party had not completed yet. Therefore, there were diverse and fruitful achievements in physical and visual art as well as in literature. Further, we revealed the process of establishing the initial infrastructure of art education.
  Finally, we got research results of 26 academic papers, 54 research papers and 14 books (including co-authored).

• Comparative historical research on the representation of music in colonial films in early modern Japan
  Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Young Scientists (B)
  Apr. 2012 - Mar. 2015
  KASAI Amane
  This study deals with auditory elements in films produced or screened in the former Japanese colonies, to examine their backgrounds and functions during the World War II. As a preliminary research, the state of remaining films has been confirmed, while articles on film music in newspapers and magazines have been compiled into a database.
  The analysis of such texts and discourses clarifies (1) commissions to compose music for films newly made in the colonies, (2) trends in adopting existing musical pieces for them, (3) filmmakers’ policies on music, and (4) influences from cultural censorship on film music.

  We’ve been doing research on the anti-Japanese artistic activities under Japanese occupation or invasion in the 1940s. At present, we found that Chinese intellectuals or artists had to select their ways as the invasion of the Empire of Japan : to cooperate with the Japanese, to resist them, or to be a spy. Some danced to contribute to the Chinese army, others composed popular songs for the Japanese people or for the Chinese victims, and others produced anti-Japanese dramas. In many cases, these dancers, musicians, writers, movie-makers and actors worked together.

• Studies on the function of music in Japanese colonial policy : The case of Taiwan and Korea in the 1930s-40s

  This study aims to clarify how music was utilized in colonial Taiwan and Korea from two perspectives :(1) strategy of adopting Japanese music in colonies, and(2) cultural identity formed through indigenous music practices. It argues how music was contested or imbedded locally, and what kind of responses the music elicited, by researching three media :(1) articles concerning music in newspapers and magazines published in colonies,(2) mass media events such as expositions or festivals, and(3) entertainment reproduced media works such as records and films.
