  <dc:description xmlns:ns0="xml" ns0:lang="en">Commonly said to embody the 'urbane' and 'refined' lifestyle of metropolitan Tokyo  and to prefigure the transnational and consumerist characteristics of today's  mainstream J-Pop, Japanese City Pop has undergone several recontextualizations  since it first surfaced in the last quarter of the 20th century. I use City Pop as an  example to interrogate the intermedial qualities of the processes at work in the  emergence and sustenance of popular music genres. I first examine some common  multi-semiotic (aural, visual and textual) characteristics of the musical products most  commonly classified as City Pop, conceptualizing the genre as an example of  intermedial translation. I then relate the results of this examination to select material  from a small diachronic corpus of Japanese-language musical intertexts built from  music history books, disc guides, and newspaper and music magazine articles  published between 1977 and 2016. I identify actors in the discursive construction of  City Pop as a genre and trace changes in the musical and extra-musical qualities  attributed to it. Our contemporary understanding of the term 'City Pop' and our  perception of the artists it points to are shown to have been strongly shaped by  enthusiast press articles and popular musical histories written by a relatively small  number of Japanese music journalists who integrated disparate and often  contradictory artistic productions into a coherent genealogical narrative centered on  the folk-rock band Happy End. My findings indicate the comparatively strong  importance of etic text-based narratives over emic musical properties or short-term  music industry marketing strategies in the construction of City Pop as a popular music  genre, pointing to the fundamental primacy of language/writing in what Jens Schröter  has termed ‘ontological intermediality.’</dc:description>
