In the Showa period [in particular, after the 1950s] the Japanese people invested in the restoration of the national economy and made great achievements, and the simple freedom from militarism without considering national defense and military brought about the fact that the social culture was always in an open and inclusive atmosphere.
At that time, the whole Japanese society was prosperous and full of vitality, giving people a sense of strength. The cultural trends of Europe and the United States once again greatly impacted Japan, and the awakening of self-consciousness, the call for change and the pursuit of democracy were vigorously spread along with the student movement.
An era in which humanities and ideological trends collide and merge and innovate will also be the era when it is easiest to become a master.
In the Showa era, literature, movies, manga, games, music... In all fields of modern art, Japan is at the forefront of the world, the people are self-confident and self-reliant, and the aesthetic is healthy and noble.
All this was due to the signing of the Plaza Accord, the economic crisis of the 1990s, and the economic malaise that has continued since then, and there is no way to go back, so the Japanese will miss Showa.
The Japanese music scene in the last decade of Showa - the era of the katsuhime competition
The 1980s coincided with the heyday of the Japanese economy, and it was also the main stage of japanese culture going global after the war, under the tone of fully absorbing western music elements, electronic music that integrated the components of national singing formed a mature J-POP, which swept across Asia, and its leading figures were all fluffy, short-haired, bright-eyed idol girls.
If the Yamaguchi Momoe trend of the 1970s reflected the return of traditional Japanese music, the following 1980s belonged to another era, and the Japanese music scene in the last decade of Showa completely entered the Sengoku era in which various girl idols competed in the melee.

They brought the film to life with musical notes
In 1924, kokatsu Yamada, the founder of the Japan Symphony Orchestra, composed the soundtrack for a film called Reikodo, and since then, Japanese films have begun to have soundtracks.
By 1952, Japan had ended a seven-year postwar cultural review period, and artists had ushered in a long-lost era of free creation. Japanese filmmakers who had been dormant for a long time returned to the stage, and Japanese directors such as Akira Kurosawa and Kenji Mizoguchi soon appeared at international film festivals.
Film companies such as Toei, Toho, and Shochiku have made efforts. The 1954 movie Godzilla was a huge success, and the Japanese film industry, like the beast of Godzilla, made a huge wave in small Japan. The number of domestic moviegoers, the film box office has set new records every year, and the venice film festival has been selected for the japanese film festival, and the success of domestic and international successes has been announced to everyone that the "second golden age" of Japanese cinema has officially arrived.
Godzilla, Humpback City, Akira Kurosawa, Ōkawa Drama, Osamu Tezuka... Behind these signs of Japan's second golden age and the most shining era of Japanese culture are three self-taught pioneers: Akira Ifube (1914-2006), Takemitsu (1930-1996), and Tomita (1932-2016).
Tomita, Takemitsu, and Akira Ifube, along with many other composers of the same period, underpinned Japan's postwar resurgence of the modern music scene. Their works have been recognized internationally, and the japanese song culture and musical instruments (such as shakuhachi, Japanese pipa, etc.) have been successfully internationalized, and it is admirable that the strength of their generation alone has shortened the distance between Japanese serious music and Western serious music. Their music and melody, together with the images and stories of that era, provided a spiritual pillar for countless Japanese people, and it was great to use music to tell the stories of their own nation.
Jean Hisaishi, Kitaro, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Haruhi Hosono... These composer masters who have touched countless people have stepped on the cornerstones of their feet, including the shock that Tomita felt in the Echo Wall of the Temple of Heaven when he was a child, the doubts and ridicule that Akira Ifube received when he sent his works to the competition, the unwilling tears that Takemitsu silently shed in the theater, and the sweat and figure of that generation who worked hard and chased the advanced culture alone.

J-POP, or Japanese POP (Japanese pop music). The name was coined in 1988 by J-WAVE, a Japanese radio station, and used to represent "new music", and has since been widely used in Japan as a term for modern music influenced by the West, including pop, R&B, rock, dance, hip hop and soul music.
It is believed that Japan is the third most popular music power after the United States and Britain, and its status can surpass that of Germany and Brazil. Japanese pop music began to flourish in the 1960s, and since Yuzo Kayama introduced the Beatles to Japan, Japan is still the country with the most frequent interaction with Western pop music.
Influenced by Western rock music, Japan is the best Asian country to practice "band music". From the early Southern Star led by Yoshiyuki Kuwata, the YMO led by Ryuichi Sakamoto, the Happy End led by Shiichi Oiso, to the X-Japan led by Yoshoki, and the Tokyo Incident led by Hayashiki Shiina, Japan has always been a paradise for bands.
Secondly, Japan is also a paradise for female poisoners, from Matsunaya Yumi and Miyuki Nakajima to Hikaru Utada and Hamasaki, the artistic atmosphere in the bones of Japanese women is fascinating.
Third, Japan is rich in experimental music, deep music fans can always find a desirable "noise" here, Keiji Ashino, a human chair, and a four-person quilt are irresistible sounds for every deep music fan.

Japanese writer Natsume Soseki asked his students how they translated "I love you," and the students translated it as "I love you." Natsume said, "How could the Japanese say such a thing?" 'The moon is fine tonight' is enough. ”
The first time I heard such a statement was in the autumn of last year, and I immediately felt the softness and warmth of the Japanese language, and the whole person was about to be healed. In Japanese folk songs, many of the lyrics are mostly so fresh and natural: one point is simple, one point is simple, and eight points are ordinary in daily life.

City Pop is a genre of music with a relaxed soft texture. The main body is Silent Jazz and AOR, and there are elements such as Jazz Fusion, Jazz Funk and Boogie. As a genre that exists as an "emotion" or "lifestyle", City Pop has the color of the bubble economy era in Japan in the last century, thus attracting a large number of loyal fans in Japan and even overseas in the 1980s. Thematically, City Pop shows the luxurious and exquisite life of Japan in the bubble economy. Since the 1980s, a large number of excellent City Pop musicians have emerged. For example, Tatsuro Yamashita, Shinichi Otaki, Kingo Hamada, Kyohiro Ashibe, Truth Sugi, Tatsuhisa Yamamoto, Kuroichi Minoragaki, Tosei Kakumatsu, Kazusho Oda, and so on.
We are now experiencing an era of urbanization, and today's young people are addicted to these romantic music at the end of the last century. The ear-catching melody, the positive hedonism advocated by citypop, is just in line with the psychology of young people who have just entered society and stood at the point of adult disagreement. The prevailing musical style is inseparable from the era to which it belongs, the era of economic prosperity is often popular songs, plus our generation of single children are mostly, paying more attention to individual small love, so you can still feel the charm of city pop.
In addition, in the vaporwave steam wave that uses a lot of sampled music, city pop is also deeply loved by post-90s musicians, and it sounds more hazy and lazy after the processing of changing the speed and distortion of the music passages through secondary creation. Living in the post-citypop era, steam waves are more like nostalgia for a surreal dream of the past.

Vaporwave is a musical genre and artistic movement.
In the early 2010s there were some Indie Dances such as Seapunk, Bounce House, or ChillWave, and more broadly, electronic dance music. This found a nest for Vaporwave. Vaporwave emerged in the early 2010s, and almost reached its heyday from 2014 to 2015, and the music creation and artwork about vaporwave began to emerge, and now a series of subcultures and peripheral products have emerged. While there are many diverse and ambiguous sub-genre categories and messages conveyed, Vaporwave is sometimes both critical and satirical of post-industrial consumerist societies, the yuppy culture of the 80s, and new century music, but at the same time that low-fidelity sound quality and Album Art showcase nostalgic artifacts of curiosity and fascination.

Compared with some similar styles that were more popular in vaporwave in previous years, such as hypnagogic pop, hypnagogic pop is a kind of "let me take the time machine back to childhood, watch American cartoons, holding toys and shrimp strips, a sleepy half-dream and half-awake state" "Make the sound trance far away, which is derived from a kind of memory of the disco, movies and other sounds faintly coming from outside the room when I was a child after 80, An endless childhood memory of a young creator. "If hypnagogic pop creates a utopian aura, technically with noise, with disco sampling, sound mixed with nostalgia, plus hippie temperament from Los Angeles.
Vaporwave, then, is purely the kind of 1995 Japanese cyberpunk dystopianism that is completely overhead, like pop music from another parallel world.

Jazz Hip Hop's origins can be traced back to jazz in the 1920s, followed by the influence of Bop and Jazz Funk in the 1950s, Jazz Fusion in the 1970s, and Hip Hop in the 1980s, jazz Hip Hop – or Jazz-rap – as a genre finally emerged in the mid-1980s. This is marked by Cargo's 1985 album Jazz Rap, Volume One and Stetsasonic's 1988 single Talkin' All That Jazz.
What really drove Jazz Hip Hop was East Coast rap legend A Tribe Called Quest's 1991 album "The Low End Theory" and jazz master Miles Davis's 1992 album "Doo-Bop", especially the former: RIAA certified platinum records, The Rolling Stone magazine's 154th largest 500 record in history, and was listed in the Time Magazine's top 100 records of all time. The instrumental performance of these two records belongs to Jazz, but Beats is hip hop style, and the singing style is also rap. At the same time, a large number of jazz artists and Eastcoast Hiphop singers also tried Jazz Hip Hop music, such as Herbie Hancock, Digable Planets, Us3, Naughty by Nature, De La Soul, Camp Lo and even the well-known "street poet" Nas, etc., so that the development of Jazz Hip Hop was finally on track in the mid-90s. Representative albums from this period are Hand on the Torch, Illmatic, and Uptown Saturday Night. Fast forward to the millennium, and many musicians who were heavily influenced by Jazzhiphop began to come alive, such as J. Rawls, Nujabes, Fat Jon, Madlib, Kero One, Kondori and many more.
Here we should mention Nujabes, a Japanese musician who spread Jazzhiphop to the East, and with DJ Okawari and other Japanese Hipphopers who had a deep influence on Japan and China's Underground Hiphop, whose representative record is "Modal Soul". Today, in the 2010s, Jazzhiphop's story continues.

Dream Pop, as the name suggests, is a "dream pop song". Dream Pop is a kind of Pop Music that emerged in England in the mid-1980s, in addition to focusing on beautiful melodies, it also pays great attention to creating an ethereal atmosphere, musicians try to use Synthesizers (electronic synthesizers) and electric knots to concoct a confused acoustic texture, the music part is mostly layered, and the singer's singing voice often adds echoes to strengthen the illusion, and the lyrics are often written abstract and poetic. When you feel that the world is a bad mess, a cloud, and you need music to anesthetize and filter, Dream Pop's nihilistic and pure sound can make the mood turn blue again.
In China, there are also artists with this style. Faye Wong did a lot of aerometric treatment in "Singing Tour" in 98, creating a dreamy and ethereal realm, which is inseparable from Faye Wong's appreciation of Cocteau Twins and her cooperation in "Impetuous" in 96, and "Singing Tour" also won the world's top ten Dream Pop albums.

In the experimental rock movement that emerged in the 90s, which was heavily influenced by electroacoustic instrumental rock, post-rock was undoubtedly the dominant musical genre. Post-rock brings together a whole host of experimental genres — Krauft-Rock, Ambient, Progressive Rock, Space Rock, Math Rock, Tape Music, Minimalist Classical, British IDM, Jazz (both Avant-Garde and Cool), and Dub Reggae, in a nutshell: most of the music is structured on rock music, but it's not rock music in substance.
The musical feeling that post-rock gives listeners is the complete opposite of the traditional sense of rock 'n' roll to inspire emotions, its music is hypnotic and low and monotonous (especially in some guitar-based bands), and even the relatively bright music makes people feel calm and awake. This is so because post-rock was a response to opposition to rock and roll in the first place, especially when the mainstream music community assimilated alternative music, and many post-rock bands were built under the same consciousness that rock and roll had lost its true sense of rebellion and had difficulty extricating itself from its own antiquated patterns and empty postures. So post-rock rejects everything associated with traditional rock 'n' roll.
Post-rock music focuses far more on pure sound and timbre than on melody and song structure, and much of its work tends to be instrumental, and even when there are vocals in the work, it is only an adjunct to the overall musical effect.
Math-rock is an experimental rock style that sprouted in the United States in the late 1980s.
Most of the mathematical rock genres are mixed with Noise rock, Post rock, progressive rock, minimal music, electronic music, etc. One of its characteristics is the complexity of the arrangement, often using irregular pauses or starts, odd time signatures, Angular melody, counterpoint, extended chords, dissonant chords, and atypical chords progression）。 General rock music uses 4/4 beats as the song structure, while mathematical rock frequently uses asymmetrical beats, such as 7/8 beats, 11/8 beats, 13/8 beats, and staggers in the song, such as a short 9/8 beat, converted to 8/8 beats, and then converted to 6/8 beats, so that the listener has a strange feeling of wrong touch. For example, using a 3/4 beat drum, a 4/4 beat guitar, and a 3/4 beat bass guitar on the same piece makes each instrument cleverly "aligned" on different tracks, sounding smooth and unobtrusive. Because of the complex structure such as mathematical operations, it is called "mathematical rock".
Math Rock and Post Rock are a bit related, and are better known as the Indie-Rock style, which has a similar musical orientation to Indie-Rock. Where Post-Rock has a distinct jazz influence, Math Rock is the opposite of a coin – its music is thick and complex, with difficult beat marks and tangled segments. Also, this kind of music is a bit more rocky than post-rock, as it's usually played by small bands with guitars as the main instrument. Math Rock peaked in the mid-'90s, when bands like Polvo and Chavez had a handful of indie rockers on college campuses who focused on the kind of music.
