Description

In this paper, I would like to focus on the practices of El Sistema in Japan, and to tentatively organize and classify the roles that El Sistema practices are thought to play in Japanese society. The clue to this discussion is the annual reports issued by Friends of El Sistema Japan which has been working on El Sistema practice in Japan since 2012. After examining Friends of El Sistema Japan's annual reports, we were able to discern matters that could be broadly categorized into seven themes: (1) disasters and music, (2) disparities and music, (3) disabilities and music, (4) regional revitalization, human resource development (including talent discovery) and music, (5) school life and music, (6) communication, connections, place to belong and music, and (7) “adults” and music. Among these seven themes, some specific descriptions appeared in the annual reports as the activities of Friends of El Sistema Japan expanded widely, other specific descriptions appeared in the annual reports from the beginning. This can be seen as showing the evolution of El Sistema practice in Japanese society. This paper is positioned as exploratory research, and based on the seven experimental classifications derived here, we will moreover clarify the roles that the practices of El Sistema play in Japanese society, and furthermore the social roles of music. We will continue to lead to a more concrete sociological analysis and consideration of the potential of the social roles of music by next field research and other findings.
