Dr. Stacy Jocoy was the guest editor of the volume and contributed a substantive chapter, as well. Dr. Heather Warren-Crow also contributed a chapter to this important special issue considering the soundscapes and aurality studies of Japanese popular culture.
This issue of Mechademia considers sound and soundscapes, broadly conceived, as an aspect of the deeper narratives of anime, manga, gaming, and related fields. The studies in this volume offer musicological, sociocultural, musico-psychological, acoustical, and visual considerations toward the investigation into the global ramifications of soundscapes in Japanese popular culture.
