    • Philippine J-Pop Covers: Cultural Authenticity in Hybridization Peer-reviewed

      From the 1980s to the 2000s, Philippine television and radio were filled with the sounds of J-Pop. The majority of Filipino listeners, however, were not aware of their Japanese origins as they were all performed in the vernacular by local artists. This paper demonstrates how local cultures are produced within the context of hybridization and cultural indigenization through J-Pop cover songs. By comparing and exploring the history of J-Pop, OPM (Original Pilipino Music), P-Pop, and idol groups, this work reflects on the globalized trend of forming new distinctions, connections, and authenticity through the varying processes of covering songs. It looks at popular music’s power in shaping local influence and development, as well as how international cultural elements can become part of collective memory and cultural milieu in a new territory, thereby gaining authenticity.

      The demand for less hostile and more humanitarian ways of caring for patients in health care institutions are becoming more widespread and accepted in Japan. In the city of Tsukuba, student groups are leading the way in developing ways in making hospital stays less stressful through arts programs. This paper is the result of direct participation, observation, and assistance by the hospitals, medical staff, and students who are organize hands-on projects and interactive art sessions designed to serve patients directly. The Arts in Hospital program is a useful tool in engaging community participation and communication among students and hospital staff. It provides a learning opportunity to students, and a creative outlet for patients on extended care. Active participation by students has a very positive impact on by giving them practical outlets to exercise their creativity and knowledge, while hospitals benefit through their service, which also cuts costs. Further research is needed to identify the direct benefit to patients, and the future prospects of arts-based hospital projects in Japan.

      Los Angeles is the most important gateway of Japan to the rest of the United States, and by extension, to the West. There are three reasons for this: one dimension is the large Japanese populations and business investment in the area, it also has the largest port in the US and airline hub in the West Coast, and lastly, Los Angeles is the center of the US film, music, and TV industries. Because of these factors, cultural trends developed here have a good chance of taking off globally. So, how does Japanese pop culture figure into Pop Surrealism? Cartoons and comic books, anime and manga inundates our lives to the extent that we cannot imagine life without them. Japanese pop culture has become a shared cultural experience. These days, Pop Surrealism revolved around relatable characters set in a familiar yet strange fantasy world. Not all artists are from the West Coast but the influences of Japanese pop culture can be clearly seen in the imagery that they use in their artworks.
