wowchicken: So cool. I like the one with the purple tint. :)
Joeyoeyannanna: Woah! the girl on the top’s eyes look really cool

Selling a Bit of Japan

Dec 14 2008: Japanese pop culture is slowly but surely eating away the cultural stronghold that the US has kept for more than half a century. From manga to animated movies to food, Japanese influence is increasing worldwide.

Kjeld Duits: I don’t think so. I think it is very healthy competition. Until now, Japan has never tried really hard to export much of this stuff, especially TV dramas. The Korean pressure is making Japanese producers take a second look, though.
Crazypiggy: Love Domo. I’m so very happy that there are more and more Japanese products available in the US. But my question: Is Japan losing some of it’s ground in Asia with the K-pop and K-Drame and such?
