Student Podcast Episode 19 - Political Pop Music

2018-04-24

In the Meiji at 150 Student Podcast, UBC students discuss aspects of Japanese culture they research in class.  In this episode, a student catalogues the political and propagandistic messages of popular music in prewar and postwar Japan, from prewar military marches to Occupation-era big band jazz, the 1950's enka ballads of Misora Hibari, and the 1960s pop melodies of Sakamoto Kyū.
