The Beatles in Japan

The Beatles in Japan

Following their first tour to Japan in 1966 the Beatles would become an important part of Japan’s postwar cultural development and its deepening relationship with the West. By the 1960s Japan’s dramatic rise in prosperity and the self-confidence of the country’s ‘economic miracle’ period were yet to come; it was not at this stage considered a fully-fledged partner of the West. All these potential developments were consolidating around the time of the 1966 tour. The Beatles' concerts in Tokyo contributed to the construction of a new Japanese national identity and introduced Japan as a new potential market to UK and US music producers broadening the country’s transnational cultural links. This book explores the Beatles’ engagement with Japan within the larger context of the country’s increased global connection and large-scale economic social and cultural change. It describes the great impact of the Beatles’ contentious 1966 tour which took place amid public displays of both euphoric ‘Beatlemania’ and angry protests and discusses the lasting impression of this tour on Japanese culture and identity to the present day. The Beatles’ relationship with Japan did not end after their departure; this book also examines the Beatles’ subsequent contacts with Japan including John Lennon’s marriage and artistic partnership with Yoko Ono and Paul McCartney’s later Japanese tours and the warm reception the ex Beatles and their musical legacy have received over the years. | The Beatles in Japan

Suicide in Twentieth-Century Japan

Suicide in Twentieth-Century Japan

Japan’s suicide phenomenon has fascinated both the media and academics although many questions and paradoxes embedded in the debate on suicide have remained unaddressed in the existing literature including the assumption that Japan is a Suicide Nation. This tendency causes common misconceptions about the suicide phenomenon and its features. Aiming to redress the situation this book explores how the idea of suicide in Japan was shaped reinterpreted and reinvented from the 1900s to the 1980s. Providing a timely contribution to the underexplored history of suicide it also adds to the current heated debates on the contemporary way we organize our thoughts on life and death health and wealth on the value of the individual and on gender. The book explores the genealogy and development of modern suicide in Japan by examining the ways in which beliefs about the nation’s character historical views of suicide and the cultural legitimation of voluntary death acted to influence even the scientific conceptualization of suicide in Japan. It thus unveils the way in which the language on suicide was transformed throughout the century according to the fluctuating relationship between suicide and the discourse on national identity and pathological and cultural narratives. In doing so it proposes a new path to understanding the norms and mechanisms of the process of the conceptualization of suicide itself. Filling in a critical gap in three particular fields of historical study: the history of suicide the history of death and the cultural history of twentieth century Japan it will be of great interest to students and scholars of Japanese Studies and Japanese History. | Suicide in Twentieth-Century Japan
