Descriptif

Tami Hashimoto, "Gyaru and hip-hop: Shaping a sound-based identity ". 

Panel 7: Scènes musicales et représentations culturelles / Music scenes and cultural representations 

With the rapid gain of popularity of Japanese hip hop, people are quick to assume that Japanese hip hop simply mimics American hip hop. Japanese female rappers have been especially controversial, sometimes accused of doing nothing more than imitating African American women’s performance. This paper challenges these assumptions by examining how Japanese female rappers have created their own “hip hop feminism.” This paper uses the music and music videos of recent Japanese female rappers, such as Awich and Zoomgals, to show how they are participating in a globalized anti-respectability politics, which in Japan has its roots in the emergence of gyaru culture in the early 2000s. This paper shows how American hip hop feminism –and especially its concerns with the “politics of female respectability”–have been adapted and transformed at the intersection of gyaru culture and contemporary Japanese female hip hop. Through song lyrics, music videos, and interviews with rappers and listeners, I demonstrate gyaru culture and its relationship with African American hip hop, and explore how sound shapes the identity of Japanese women on the margins of respectability in contemporary Japan.
