This collection of essays explores the development of electronic
sound recording in Japanese cinema, radio, and popular music to
illuminate the interrelationship of aesthetics, technology, and
cultural modernity in prewar Japan. Putting the cinema at the
center of a 'culture of the sound image', it restores complexity to
a media transition that is often described simply as slow and
reluctant. In that vibrant sound culture, the talkie was introduced
on the radio before it could be heard in the cinema, and pop music
adaptations substituted for musicals even as cinema musicians and
live narrators resisted the introduction of recorded sound. Taken
together, the essays show that the development of sound technology
shaped the economic structure of the film industry and its labour
practices, the intermedial relation between cinema, radio, and
popular music, as well as the architecture of cinemas and the
visual style of individual Japanese films and filmmakers.
