Music of The Lost Decade: A Guide to Japanese Pop In The 90s (FanimeCon 2023) Panel Slides5/30/2023  This panel was originally written a week before ALA 2023 in the hopes of maybe getting a last minute panel slot to debut it at. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately depending how you look at it, that didn't happen. It was previewed at the end of that cons' "More Than City Pop" panel, and since it was a long time to FanimeCon (which turned out to be the next con we were going to), it saw a TOTAL rewrite. This means that while this version of "Music of The Lost Decade" wasn't the "real" first version ever created, it was definitely better for it as all those first-version kinks were ironed out without even having to host it anywhere! Now that isn't to say that there isn't room for improvement in future versions, but this is definitely the most polished debut panel we've ever had at A-to-J. Also, because the 80s panel went a little long at Fanime the day before, some cuts were made to this panel the day of. It turned out we probably DID have time for this version, but as it stands there are some slides here that no one outside of A-to-J has seen. So, enjoy the slides, add some of the songs to your playlists, and catch it at live one day a con near you! Oh, and if you're wondering about that first version, it doesn't technically exist as this second one was just written on top of the old one's files. RIP Lastly, the songs from the opening montage can be found below:
 This is the most recent version of "More Than City Pop" from FanimeCon. This is an interesting panel as it was the first one completely finished before the con since some of the other panels required heavy research. That means that this one sat completed for months and was nearly completely rewritten by the time the convention came around just because better (or at least more consistent) sources on charting songs was discovered in that time. That doesn't really matter though as each of these songs are definitely "hits" so the idea of the panel still stands. With that said, the next version of this will be VERY different, so please check that out. The songs from the opening montage can be found below. It was supposed to be one from each year and listing them makes one notice that 1981 was accidentally left out. Oops!
Also, the interview mentioned after the KABUKI-ROCKS slide can be found HERE. Keep in mind that it's a much older interview (Year One A-to-J) so it may not be up to what we consider our current standards.  This is our most recent version of our "Magical Girls 101" panel which has a slightly different name for Fanime. We created this panel for Anime Los Angeles 2020, and it saw a big change this year since we went pretty far off the deep end when it comes to researching titles to talk about. Enjoy the slides as they are pretty representative of the panel as Manuel and Garwye presented it, with the only noteworthy difference being that each show has its own picture on the multiple show slides and the JPEGs below only show the last one. Enjoy the little bits we can't always cover, and please attend future panels when we have them! |
