Changing Identities of Japanese Traditional Music in Twenty First Century (original) (raw)

2015

Abstract

During the feudal age, folk music expressed what life was like for people in a small community. Later, when there were kingdoms and monarchs, music played in the royal courts was referred to as classical. During and after the Japanese industrial revolution, music became pop—something the masses could relate to and which also served as a tool for spreading information and promoting certain causes. But even in the modern period, Japanese music contains lyrics reminiscent of traditional Japanese music.1
