Japan Foundation New York Online Pop-Culture Event Session 3
Uncategorized Comments Off on Japan Foundation New York Online Pop-Culture Event Session 3
The Japan Foundation, New York launched a monthly online series delving into Japanese pop culture from academic and professional perspectives!
For our third session, three musicologists in U.S academia will unravel the power of music in anime. You may love anime soundtracks as much as the anime itself, but have you ever thought about the role of music in storytelling, how the music affects the work itself, and what meanings might be hidden in the music?
Come join the panel discussion with Stacey Jocoy, Kunio Hara, and Rose Bridges as they discuss how directors and composers collaborate to create the music, explaining the role of music in storytelling, and the uses of music in beloved anime such as My Neighbor Totoro (Tonari no Totoro), Grave of the Fireflies (Hotaru no haka), Cowboy Bebop, Your Name. (Kimi no na wa.), and other animes.
The discussion will be followed by a live Q&A. If you have any questions about music and soundscapes in anime, now’s your chance to ask the musicologists! Please feel free to post it on the Eventbrite page when you register. Live commentary will also be enabled on the YouTube stream, so you can participate in the Q&A session.
This is a free event. Registrants will receive the link to the stream via email.
