Cosplay, or costume play, is a popular trend where people dressing up mimicking fictional characters from anime, manga (comics), video games and movies etc.
Japan is generally credited as the origin of cosplay, but there are no actual facts of when the cosplay culture started. The credit for coining the word ‘cosplay’ seems more apparent though… although there are a few versions on how it was created, the credit goes to Nobuyuki Takahashi when he first used the word in some Japanese magazines in 1983/1984.
“Akibanana” has some scanned image of the My Anime magazine released in June 1983, which is said to be where the word first appeared, written in Japanese – コスプレ (kosupure)…

“Magazine”, in the last paragraph, in Portuguese means
Levi’s jeans launched a new advertising campaign in Europe. Like most ads, these used music.
And what did the advertising agency choose? Handel’s “Sarabande in D minor”.
Most bands and groups are really happy to record music for ads. People associate their name with specific products — cellphones, jeans, and so on. This helps them to become famous. It also makes it easier to sell their other things – CDs and tickets for their concerts. Of course, they prefer to provide music for “cool” products. And there can be ethical problems. Will a vegetarian group provide music for a hamburger ad?
Words or emotions?
In the past, most ads used “jingles” — special words and music written about the product. But now these soundtracks are more like movie music. They express a mood, which reinforces the visual message. Often, people remember the music, and want to know who performed it — and wrote it. Then the sales of other music by the same composer usually increase dramatically. Movie music – the new classics?
The sales of movie music can be enormous. Soundtracks like “Gladiator”, “Apocalypse Now” and “Titanic” are really popular. And their success can be worldwide, too, just like the movies. “Gladiator” sold more than a million copies.
For more composers, writing movie soundtracks compensates for the difficulty of making money from their “serious” work. But what’s the difference? Pop music, dance music, classical… Perhaps it’s just music.

De acordo com o texto,
I. muitas músicas usadas como trilha em comerciais surtem um efeito positivo para seus compositores, já que lhes dão um bom retorno financeiro, algo mais difícil de conseguir-se com seu trabalho de músico feito à parte.
II. os comerciais que usam trilha sonora como música de cinema, em vez de jingles, ajudam a popularizar seus compositores que passam a vender mais discos, entradas para shows, pois as pessoas ficam interessadas em conhecer outras composições de sua autoria.
III. os compositores de música para comerciais de rádio e TV enfrentam constantemente problemas legais com esse tipo de produção, pois compor músicas para peças publicitárias implica, também, sérios problemas éticos.
IV. as músicas feitas para comerciais são, de um modo geral, sucessos passageiros, que proporcionam aos compositores apenas um retorno financeiro temporário e, portanto, não lhes interessa como fonte de trabalho e renda.
V. antigamente, as músicas produzidas especialmente para comerciais de TV e rádio — os jingles — eram vendidas posteriormente, em discos de vinil ou CDs, pois tornavam-se inesquecíveis pelo público consumidor dos produtos por elas divulgados.
