The music sounded familiar,&nbsp;and&nbsp;its name also rang a bell. But even if those in the know about the history of&nbsp;popular music in Japan might associate the term with the late 1970s&nbsp;and&nbsp;early 1980s, the music that today goes by the name \u201cCity&nbsp;Pop\u201d usually&nbsp;wasn&rsquo;t called that back then. This is also the reason why&nbsp;there&nbsp;is much debate about exactly what Japanese&nbsp;popular music is meant by the term \u201cCity&nbsp;Pop\u201d. \u201cCity&nbsp;Pop\u201d only recently became a genre designation,&nbsp;and&nbsp;the coinage&nbsp;and&nbsp;filling of the term with musical content from the past appears to be a process that involves actors not only from Japan. Even if the production&nbsp;and&nbsp;reception of the music that today goes under the name of \u201cCity&nbsp;Pop\u201d&nbsp;was&nbsp;completely analogue at the time it&nbsp;was&nbsp;created&nbsp;and&nbsp;was&nbsp;limited to Japan, the formation of the genre of \u201cCity&nbsp;Pop\u201d seems to be a global process that retroactively takes place in the digital environment of the Internet&nbsp;and&nbsp;challenges existing academic genre theories which assume that the formation of music genres can be clearly dated historically&nbsp;and&nbsp;traced geographically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The workshop will not be held in the form of a conference, but is intended as a kind of expert meeting during which scholars researching \u201cCity&nbsp;Pop\u201d&nbsp;and\/or Japanese&nbsp;popular music of the 1970s&nbsp;and&nbsp;1980s will together attempt to trace this decades-spanning, global process in as much detail as possible, as an example of cultural production transitioning cultures, temporalities&nbsp;and&nbsp;technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The workshop will include 8 chronologically organized panels as well as a keynote by \u014cwada Toshiyuki (Keio University). Each panel will consist of two to three speakers who will give 30- or 20-minute presentations, which will then be discussed in detail in the plenary session. In order to give us the opportunity to fill the panels evenly&nbsp;and&nbsp;at the same time to ensure that as many presenters as possible can take part, we would like to encourage applicants to submit several proposals of no more than 250 words for different panels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td rowspan=\"3\"><\/td><td rowspan=\"3\">Wednesday, 19.03.25<strong><em>The Pre-History of&nbsp;City&nbsp;Pop<\/em><\/strong><\/td><td rowspan=\"3\">Thursday, 20.03.25<strong><em>From&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><strong>wamono<em>&nbsp;to (Neo-)&nbsp;CityPop<\/em><\/strong><\/td><td rowspan=\"3\">Friday, 21.03.25<strong><em>Global&nbsp;City&nbsp;Pop<\/em><\/strong><\/td><td><\/td><td>&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>09:00-10:30 (CET)17:00-18:30 (JST)<\/td><td><em>Ny\u016b my\u016bjikku<\/em><\/td><td><em>The&nbsp;<\/em>shibuya-kei<em>Era\/<\/em>wamono<\/td><td><em>Vaporwave\/Future Funk<\/em><\/td><td><\/td><td>&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>10:45-12:15 (CET)18:45-20:15 (JST)<\/td><td>Happii Endo<em>and&nbsp;\u201cCityMusic\u201d<\/em><\/td><td>Keynote Speechby \u014cwada Toshiyuki<\/td><td><em>The \u201cPlastic Love<\/em><em>Phenomenon\u201d<\/em><\/td><td><\/td><td>&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>13:00-14:30 (CET)21:00-22:30 (JST)<\/td><td><em>\u201cCity&nbsp;Pops\u201d&nbsp;<\/em>avant la lettre<\/td><td><em>Neo-City&nbsp;Popin Japan<\/em><\/td><td><em>Non-Japanese<\/em><em>City&nbsp;Pop<\/em><\/td><td><\/td><td>&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The workshop will take place at the University of Amsterdam in hybrid form on three consecutive mornings (CET) so that colleagues from previous time zones can take part online.
