A unique account of the Japanese rock phenomenon from a legendary rock musician with an army of fans 'The most obscenely enjoyable book of the year ... enlightening, thrilling and occasionally hilarious ... Cope is a supremely engaging writer whose aim is to entertain, educate and freak out' Telegraph 'This book's astonishing blend of seriousness and hilariousness is testament to perhaps the most remarkable mind in rock today' Word Julian Cope, eccentric and visionary rock musician, follows the runaway underground success of his book Krautrocksampler with Japrocksampler, a cult deconstruction of Japanese rock music, and reveals what really happened when East met West after World War Two. It explores the clash between traditional, conservative Japanese values and the wild rock 'n' roll renegades of the 1960s and 70s, and tells of the seminal artists in Japanese post-war culture, from itinerant art-house poets to violent refusenik rock groups with a penchant for plane hijacking.

JAPROCKSAMPLER, mitad libro de historia, mitad crítica musical inspiradísima y libérrima à la Lester Bangs, es un revelador estudio del rock y la música underground del Japón desde la posguerra hasta mediados de los setenta. Julian Cope —ex frontman de The Teardrop Explodes y artífice de una dilatada carrera musical en solitario— nos presenta, en un estilo que rezuma erudición, humor y pasión, un universo hasta ahora ignoto de bandas de iconoclastas de todo pelaje que produjeron algunos de los sonidos más alucinantes del rock de todos los tiempos. A partir de las peripecias de la música experimental de la escena jazzística de los cincuenta, pasando por el fenómeno del eleki —o la particular obsesión de los japoneses por el rock and roll made in USA y la guitarra eléctrica—, al estallido del llamado "group sounds" —como denominaban en el país del sol naciente al pop-rock que irrumpió tras la eclosión de los Beatles—, Cope ilumina, en la segunda parte de este volumen, la trayectoria de algunas de las bandas y músicos más extravagantes de la historia, como el inclemente feedback de guitarras y ruido blanco de Les Rallizes Denudés del heterodoxo Takeshi Mizutani, el hard rock de tintes orientalizantes de Flower Travellin' Band, el blues drogota y demencial de Speed, Glue & Shinki, la música inclasificable para artes escénicas de J. A. Caesar o el misticismo psicodélico de Taj Mahal Travellers, e infinidad de grupos más. El libro se complementa con un top 50, donde el autor selecciona y comenta los mejores álbumes del rock nipón de todos los tiempos. En definitiva, una obra mayúscula sobre un terreno tan inexplorado como fascinante como es la música underground del Japón.

From the beginning of the American Occupation in 1945 to the post-bubble period of the early 1990s, popular music provided Japanese listeners with a much-needed release, channeling their desires, fears, and frustrations into a pleasurable and fluid art. Pop music allowed Japanese artists and audiences to assume various identities, reflecting the country's uncomfortable position under American hegemony and its uncertainty within ever-shifting geopolitical realities. In the first English-language study of this phenomenon, Michael K. Bourdaghs considers genres as diverse as boogie-woogie, rockabilly, enka, 1960s rock and roll, 1970s new music, folk, and techno-pop. Reading these forms and their cultural import through music, literary, and cultural theory, he introduces readers to the sensual moods and meanings of modern Japan. As he unpacks the complexities of popular music production and consumption, Bourdaghs interprets Japan as it worked through (or tried to forget) its imperial past. These efforts grew even murkier as Japanese pop migrated to the nation's former colonies. In postwar Japan, pop music both accelerated and protested the commodification of everyday life, challenged and reproduced gender hierarchies, and insisted on the uniqueness of a national culture, even as it participated in an increasingly integrated global marketplace. Each chapter in Sayonara Amerika, Sayonara Nippon examines a single genre through a particular theoretical lens: the relation of music to liberation; the influence of cultural mapping on musical appreciation; the role of translation in transmitting musical genres around the globe; the place of noise in music and its relation to historical change; the tenuous connection between ideologies of authenticity and imitation; the link between commercial success and artistic integrity; and the function of melodrama. Bourdaghs concludes with a look at recent Japanese pop music culture.

From the sugar rush of Tokyo's idol subculture to the discordant polyrhythms of its experimental punk and indie scenes, this book by Japan Times music columnist Ian F. Martin offers a witty and tender look at the wide spectrum of issues that shape Japanese music today. With unique theories about the evolution of J-pop as well as its history, infrastructure and (sub)cultures, Martin deconstructs an industry that operates very differently from counterparts overseas. Based partly on interviews with influential artists, label owners and event organisers, Martin's book combines personal anecdotes with cultural criticism and music history. An accessible and humorous account emerges of why some creative acts manage to overcome institutional pressures, without quitting their bands. Ian Martin's writing about Japanese music has appeared in The Japan Times, CNN Travel and The Guardian among other places. Martin is based in Tokyo, where he also runs Call And Response Records.

"Drawing on archival research, oral history interviews, and participant observation, this examination of the adoption and adaptation of Mod style across geographic space also maps its various interpretations over time, from the early 1960s to the present. The book traces the Mod youth culture from its genesis in the dimly lit clubs of London's Soho. where it began as a way for young people to reconfigure modernity after the chaos of World War II, to its contemporary, country-specific expressions. By examining Mod culture in the United States, Germany, and Japan alongside the United Kingdom, "We Are the Mods" contrasts the postwar development of Mod in those countries that lost the war with those that won. The book illuminates the culture's fashion, music, iconography, and gender aesthetics, to create a compelling portrait of a transnational subculture." --Book Jacket.

"Welcome to Sardinia: my hell, my home, my prison, my meditation these past sixteen years. What a place to die. But that's precisely why I was back." When drugged-up Time Traveller and '80s musical burnout Rock Section and his fellow English hooligans get kidnapped during Italia '90, there are ruinous implications. But now Rock has returned to Sardinia one final time to settle some scores and uncover the truth. He believes only Dutch cult leader Judge Barry Hertzog, still incarcerated on the island for the crime, can provide the answers. But through prescription drugs, the persistence of his driver Anna and a quest for the hidden ancient doorways strewn around Sardinia's only highway, the 131, Rock will discover that a greater truth awaits him. Judgement, consequences, hoodwinking on a grand scale, Gnosticism versus agnosticism... 131 is a Gnostic whodunit that pursues readers' memories of all previous fiction into a peat bog and impales them with seven-foot-long pikes.

La porte shamanique du rock'n'roll japonais a laissé entrer en Occident tant de musiques extraordinaires, au cours de ces dix dernières années, qu'on se demande comment les musiciens de rock japonais ont pu atteindre ce niveau fascinant. Des groupes underground et révolutionnaires comme The Boredoms, les Acid Mothers Temple de Makoto Kawabata, Boris, les High Rise de Asahito Nanjo, Ghost et consorts, ont, malgré des noms incompréhensibles dans leur pays, inspiré tant de musiciens ici, en Occident, qu'une enquête pointue sur la musique japonaise de leur jeunesse s'imposait. Bien avant l'émergence du punk rock, ma génération fut marquée par l'émission de John Peel et le Krautrock du début de ces années soixante-dix enfiévrées. II en fut de même pour le Japon.
