Course Description

An introductory course on the history of Japanese and Korean popular songs and music. It will focus more on Japanese history, but it will also explore respective developments in both Japan and Korea from a comparative perspective as well as cultural exchanges between the two countries. It is intended to facilitate discussions about connections and particularities of popular music and culture in East Asia including Taiwan. 

Course Objective
The main purposes of this course are to introduce popular hits and their social contexts in a chronological order; to familiarize students with actual sounds and cultural backgrounds; and to enable them to reflect upon the Taiwanese situation in an auditory manner. The instructor provides handouts and sound clips as well as lyrics and notations when necessary. Further materials will be introduced to interested students. 
Course Requirement
Language Proficiency:
The lecture is held in English. Throughout the course, several main textbooks written in Japanese, Korean and English will be consulted. The ability to read either Japanese or Korean materials is preferred but not required. The instructor will encourage students to understand historical processes with translations and audio-visual materials. Students are expected to be active in learning these languages.
Assignments:
1. At least quarter to half page weekly response notes on listening examples from Week4 on. Due by 8pm on the day before each lecture day. Examples to be uploaded on CEIBA well before each next lecture. Students are expected to listen to the sound clips carefully so as to understand lectures and join class discussions.
2. A class presentation at the end of the semester. Before that, all students will talk with the instructor to clarify a topic around the midterm period. A consulting schedule to be announced in advance.
3. 5 - 10-page term paper based on class presentation. Due by 1/10 by email or by hand.
