Descriptif

Moritz Sommet, "Re-sounding Shōwa: Ōtaki Eiichi’s A Long Vacation and nostalgia for 1980s Japan". 

Panel 10 – Sounds and nostalgia 

A prolific singer-songwriter and pop music producer throughout his life, Ōtaki Eiichi (1948-2013) has turned into a symbol of the late Shōwa era some ten years after his death. His bestselling A Long Vacation was one of the first Japanese albums released on compact disc and embodies significant changes in the music diffusion and listening practices of the early 1980s. Originally a creative engagement with Phil Spector’s wall of sound concept and the Japanese reception of American pop in the 1950s and 1960s, the album has since been re-issued several times and is now commonly associated with the sound of “City Pop,” a sonic representation of the supposed wealth and optimism of pre-bubble Japan. A Long Vacation has thus come to represent both the nostalgic perception of past sound and its potential for creative refiguration. In discussing the development of the multi-layered discourse surrounding the album, my paper aims to shed some light on recent sound-related shifts in retrospective views of the Shōwa era.
