JPOP, 中川翔子 (Shoko Nakagawa)

 
Japanese pop culture is one of Japan's biggest exports. Across the globe both children and adults have become fascinated with the quirky aesthetics of Japanese fashion and entertainment, accounting for major influence worldwide. From anime to video games and everything in between, Japan is responsible for some of the world's most popular hobbies. So feel free to unleash your inner otaku and explore everything Japanese pop culture has to offer. Sometimes you cannot understand and feel strange....

イイネ!(Good!) - A Little About — Kawaii


Kawaii (pronounced like the U.S. state Hawaii except with a K) means “lovable,” “adorable,” or “cute,” according to Wikipedia and we’d go so far to add the word “very” in front of those definitions. Kawaii culture in Japan has been increasing since the late 1970s and shows no sign of slowing down, in fact it’s getting cuter every day.

Kawaii culture really began to develop in Japan during the early seventies. Strangely enough, it partially stemmed from a movement in handwriting where teenage girls began to use mechanical pencils and decorate their writing with symbols like hearts, stars and sometimes even Latin letters.

イイネ!(Good!) - The Gaijin’s Guide to Natto.


Natto, along with uni, and konnyaku, make up the top three Japanese foods that scare the bejesus out of people. None of these foods actually tastes bad. I think they are scary due to their strange textures. I have read countless websites and books that say these foods are an “acquired taste”. Acquired taste is a cheap way of saying people don’t like them. And if you do like them, you need to explain yourself.
