Benjamin Daniel Düster, "Tomorrow on cassette: Japan’s tape jams in the new media age". 

Panel 10 – Sounds and nostalgia 

From the early to mid-2000s, cassette tapes appeared to be at the brink of extinction. Although there have been claims about a so-called “revival of the cassette” in mass media based on growing sales over the past decade, it becomes apparent that the format was never abandoned in Japanese DIY music scenes in the first place. Drawing on extensive interviews conducted in Japan from 2018-2019 with more than 30 musicians, label and shop managers, I demonstrate that the current significance of cassettes in Japan’s multi-layered music landscape ranges from cultural currencies in DIY music scenes to merchandise for major label re-releases and events such as the annual Cassette Store Day. While cassette’s multi-layered occurrences demonstrate that it is far from being dead and gone, this paper explores it as a hybrid format for music production, consumption and distribution in the new media age.
