The Power of Music in Anime

November 19, 8pm EST Online

You may love anime soundtracks as much as the anime itself, but have you ever thought about the role of music in storytelling, how the music affects the work itself, and what meanings might be hidden in the music? For this webinar, we have invited three musicologists, Stacey Jocoy, Kunio Hara, and Rose Bridges, to unravel the power of music in anime. They will discuss how directors and composers collaborate to create the music, examining the role of music in storytelling and the uses of music in beloved anime, such as My Neighbor Totoro, Grave of the Fireflies, Cowboy Bebop, and Your Name.

The discussion will be followed by a Q&A. If you have any questions about music and soundscapes in anime, please submit them through Eventbrite when you register.
