Why Anime Music Plays Such an Important Role in Japanese Culture

[هَـ-ђāŵĩ-ـَاوِي]

The music found in anime has become a staple in the community, and at its best, becomes just as iconic as the series the tracks were written for. However, because of animes popularity around the globe, music as an artistic medium, and its impact on Japanese culture is often overlooked. Since the late 19th century, American music education has heavily influenced Japanese music education. Thus, Japanese music is often inspired by Westernized music. Nevertheless, anime music has become its own unique genre. Japanese filmmakers and artists strive to combine their history from the past century with modern or Westernized music.
