Tokyo Rose
Tokyo Rose (alternative spelling Tokio Rose) was a name given by Allied troops in the South Pacific during World War II to all female English-speaking radio broadcasters of Japanese propaganda. The programs were broadcast in the South Pacific and North America to demoralize Allied forces abroad and their families at home by emphasizing troops' wartime difficulties and military losses.Berg, Jerome S.

Tokyo Rose (album)
''Tokyo Rose'' is an album by the American musician Van Dyke Parks, released in 1989. The album concerns the intersection between Japanese and American cultures and economics. Production The album's first song, "America", is an adaptation of "America (My Country, 'Tis of Thee)" with numerous pentatonic shifts characteristic of Japanese music, played on a combination of standard Western instruments and traditional Japanese instruments, such as the biwa and the koto. Syd Straw and Danny Hutton sang on the album. "Manzanar" is about the internment of Japanese Americans. Critical reception ''The Philadelphia Inquirer'' called the album "an ambitious suite of songs dealing with the politics, cultures and economies of a changing world." The ''Chicago Sun-Times'' deemed it "a gorgeously idiosyncratic piece of work," writing that "the string arrangements that dominate this album are every bit as beguiling as we've come to expect from Parks." ''The Times'' determined that Parks's "music pl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
