The article examines how students from Japan who attend German music colleges become integrated into Germany’s art worlds while also maintaining connections to transnational art worlds. Although Japan is one of the major countries that sends young music talents to Germany, only a few studies have examined this migration. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with Japanese music students in Germany that were conducted as part of the Asian Educational Mobilities Project, the article shows that the reasons for such migration, as well as its effects on music practices, and that future perspectives need a theoretical reorientation toward a transnational perspective. The results indicate that the art practices of aspiring Japanese students depend not only on institutional conditions in Germany but also on students´ transnational networks.

有抱负的艺术家的融合：德国的日本音乐学生

这篇文章探讨了在德国音乐学院就读的日本学生如何融入德国的艺术世界，同时保持与跨国艺术世界的联系。虽然日本是向德国输送年轻音乐人才的主要国家之一，但只有少数研究考察了这种迁移。文章借鉴了作为亚洲教育流动项目的一部分对在德国的日本音乐学生进行的半结构化访谈，表明这种迁移的原因及其对音乐实践的影响，以及未来的前景需要一个理论重新定位到跨国视角。结果表明，有抱负的日本学生的艺术实践不仅取决于德国的制度条件，还取决于学生的跨国网络。
