Both a tropical island paradise and the site of some of the bloodiest battles of World War II, Okinawa has a unique culture and a contentious history. Its musical traditions are distinct from other parts of Japan, varying in instrumentation, poetic forms, and musical scales. Nenes marks its cultural difference as Okinawan by emphasizing its own exoticism, expressed through its music, fashion, imagery, and performance style. Henry Johnson listens to \u003ci\u003eKoza Dabasa\u003c\/i\u003e as a representation of Okinawa's relationship with the Japanese music industry and with the broader themes of international warfare and local tourism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e33 1\/3 Global\u003c\/b\u003e, a series related to but independent from \u003cb\u003e33 1\/3\u003c\/b\u003e, takes the format of the original series of short, music-based books and brings the focus to music throughout the world.
