Osaka lecture by member

[Hopkins/Kato]

    Well, I'll talk about the companies and content of recordings in Japan
from the earliest examples up until the start of the Pacific phase of the
war. I'll talk about changes in audience, give examples of all major genres.
I don't have a record of Matsui Sumako's "Kachusha," but I'll explain about
it and the earliest "western" songs and songwriters. I'll introduce Sekiya
Toshiko, the first Japanese orchestral composer to be recorded by a foreign
orchestra. I'll talk about the introduction of censorship in recording in
1934, and the gradual domination of the market by polemical material. You
know, that kind of thing.

    I'll be giving a slightly off-topic lecture in Osaka on the 23rd. I'll
be talking about the early history of the recording industry in Japan (in
Japanese) and I will, of course, cover eiga kouta and commercial recordings
of benshi performances as part of that. Most of the content will, alas, not
concern film culture very directly. In the second half I'll be doing an
acoustic DJ performance using three hand-cranked chikuonki.



    7 PM at Bridge (Osaka's premier space for jazz and avant garde
performance)

    Dobutsuenmae subway station, Festival Gate, 8th floor.
