All of the great women composers, Yoko Shimomura, Michiru Yamane, and Yoko Kanno, are Japanese.Are there any notable or at least good western women composers in video games or television? So far I know of Rachel Portman, who is kino. I also know of Winifred Philips, who’s cute, but her music is not that interesting. Then again, I’m not that interested in western compositions to begin with aside from Jeremy Soule, C418, Alan Menkin (or anything Disney-like), or the Titanic soundtrack. I mainly stick with classical music for my westoid tendencies anyways.Why are there so few /v/ and /tv/ female composers in the west? Do western women just not like making good music? Or is Japan a leader in feminism and the West is too oppressive to women that prevents them from excelling certain barriers?
>>130194442furthermore, how can we obtain more female western composers? and actually good ones?
>>130194442What kick do you get out of LARPing?
>>130194481just being honestwe as westerners need to step our game up and elevate our female musicians
Eveline Novakovic did about half the music for the original Donkey Kong Country trilogy in 90s but left the games industry 20 years ago. If we're talking actual biological females, I can't think of any other.
>>130194511Then you know that Japan still has a strong musical education program where it's not deemed ''uncool'' or ''classist'' to teach your kid -and to answer your question, little girls- how to play the piano or the violin or whatever. Which gives them the musical base that allows them to make nu-classical music in the form of soundtracks. That's it. Things are more regimented and formulated over there. Hence why a lot of their rock adjacent bands, including all-girl bands, have an emphasis on technical ability, or why jazzy music still tops their charts.
>>130194566we used to have a riot grrrl movement in the us that went hand-to-hand with grunge, but it didn't really help elevate women in rockrock music in the western world is still predominantly malemaybe if western men treated women better, like how japanese women treat women well
>>130194626Western women in the performing arts need the attention above all else, which is why 99% sexualoze themselves to some degree. Japan is a conservative country and while obviously there are sexualized women in pop music, it's not a given in rock.
>>130194745it's because western women are pressured by the industry and the patriarchy to sexualize themselves, with the makeup and body modifications, while being gaslit that it's "feminist"also explain why they market so much revealing clothing to women compared to men
>>130194872women in the west gleefully use sex as currency and have no problem prostituting themselves under the right conditions. they see it as empowering, not exploitation.
>>130194889i mean, there is a reason why feminism, particularly the radfem "kill all men/this is why we choose the bear" type, is very prominent from the west compared to japan
>>130194442bump
>>130194442>video game or tv/film composers>WOMEN video game or tv/film composers at that
>>130194442I have nothing to contribute, this is oddly specific, but it's interesting and desrves a bump
