Lukewarm Nationalism: The 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Social Media and Affective Communities
This article considers the way in which a new nationalism is being created in the age of the Internet and social media by looking at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games and other Games in the past.

Reading border-crossing Japanese comics/anime in China: Cultural consumption, fandom, and imagination
Differences in cultural consumption are well recognized as potential forces for changing the cultural identity of consumers. Based on this logic, our hypothesis posits that Chinese readers, who comprise the largest fan community of Japanese comics/anime, are culturally influenced by this foreign product. To examine this hypothesis, we question whether the global values and worldviews of freedom, peaceful coexistence, justice, companionship, and h…

The Pitfall Facing the Cool Japan Project: The Transnational Development of the Anime Industry under the Condition of Post‐Fordism
This paper examines the way in which the anime industry has developed since the mid‐1960s, by looking at transnational production systems and the international division of labor. First, it tries to demonstrate that anime, though seen both as a cultural product originating from Japan and as an export within the recent Cool Japan project promoted by the Japanese government, has, from the beginning of its history, been a very hybridized product due …
J‐pop: From the ideology of creativity to DiY music culture
The paper examines the development of J‐pop under the post‐Fordist condition and its ideological formation over the last two decades. J‐pop, invented as a fashionable sub‐genre by a FM radio station in the late 1980s, expanded its category throughout the 1990s and covers virtually all musical genres for young people in Japan. However, due to the lasting economic recession, the development of digital technology and the transformation of young peop…
Culture = politics: The Emergence of New Cultural Forms of Protest in the Age Offreeter
This paper examines new cultural and political movements that have developed outside of traditional leftist politics since the early 1990s in Japan. The new movements, including Dame-ren, the Cardboard House Art movements in Shinjuku and recent anti-war protests on the Iraqi war, were mainly led by young people, in particular, the freeter generation, who did not experience the leftist politics of the 1960s. These movements are different from trad…
