    Hip Hop, Aspiration, and Japan's Social Margins

    par Andrew B. Armstrong ...

    Authenticating Jazz in Japan

    par E. Taylor Atkins ...
    Japan’s jazz community—both musicians and audience—has been begrudgingly recognized in the United States for its talent, knowledge, and level of appreciation.
