KANSAI University Japanese Popular Music Archives & Museum Project
Objectives
KANSAI University Japanese Popular Music Archives & Museum Project was
launched in April 2014 to systematically organize Japanese popular music as well as to
collect, accumulate, and store visual materials, audio sources, and documents, which
had previously been scattered. We intend to study how we can best make the established
archives, which are precious cultural resources, available to the public, and, in future,
we hope to build on these archives to establish a museum and a research institute for
Japanese popular music.
Activities
We have been working on the establishment of an oral history consisting of
interviews with people from the dawn of popular music, who are now growing older, and
the digitalization of music footage such as live videos and promotional videos stored on
tape media, which is gradually deteriorating in addition to the aging of reproduction
equipment. (...) Through these activities, we will explore how we can best establish and run a
future museum for Japanese popular music.

Lassey says, salsa is “by far the most requested during our live performances.”
Salsa music has remained popular in West Africa since it was introduced in the region in the 1950s, reportedly by sailors.
(...) Over the years Congolese rumba, Nigerian Afrobeat, Ghanaian highlife, Caribbean calypso, Antilles zouk, Trinidadian soca and dancehall music gained currency in Africa and in the diaspora, while becoming telling signs of the popularity of African rhythms and their influences around the world.
(...) The song was a cover of “Sawale,” a popular highlife hit from the 1960s. The original “Sawale” and its 2005 cover had a slow beat typical of Ghanaian and Nigerian highlife music.

This has also brought into view the creation of a new media ecosystem by socializing
technologies such as IoT (Internet of Things) and big data through music.
From the perspective of cultural preservation, Kansai University’s Japanese Popular Music
Archive Museum Project, for which the author is a representative, is digitizing and creating a
database of cultural materials, including music videos from the first half of the 1970s to the
present day, based on this ID system. In order to make these materials available to the public
and share them, we are aiming to establish a network-type popular music museum that utilizes
cutting-edge ITC technology in the Takeshiba District CIP (Contents Innovation Program),
which is adjacent to a venue intended for the Tokyo Olympics in 2020. Through these sorts of
activities, it is hoped that there will be increasing opportunities for people to encounter Japan’s
diverse popular music that transcends national borders and generations.
