Japanese pop culture is fast, fresh and radical. I love how they are always creative in their own ideas. Doki Doki Station is definitely an experience worthy to be classified in Japanese pop culture!

Pop Culture in Japan is mostly wild, unique and creative that you don’t see very often and it’s nice to have an alternative when it comes to Animation, Video Games, Comics, etc. that can showcase that the rest of the world can offer something amazing to the rest

Japanese pop culture is a culture that supports creativity in every sense of the word. From Moe and super cute to downright brutal violence, from their rich past to the major distant future. Japanese pop culture Supports my Imagination and keeps my life interesting and adventurous, thats what i love the most about it

what i specifically love about Japanese pop culture is the manga and anime films (Naoki Urasawa, Hayao Miyazaki); very original creative stories with philosophical morals hidden behind. Japanese games are also high standard with character designs and exploring unlimited genres. Gyakuten Saiban series and Takio no Tatsujin drum rhythm games are my favourite games. I also absolutely adore collecting rilakkuma bear goods products! kawaii lazy bear >_<

I’ve always adore Japanese pop culture since i was a little kid, because it’s always so unconventional and it had lightened up my world with unimaginable ideas and entertainment. especially in manga and anime, where perfection is possible.
i remember when i was 5 yrs old, my parents asked me where do i want to go when i grow up, i said Japan without any hesitation, they asked why, i said “because they have vending machines!” (because i was watching Digimon at that time and they had vending machines!!!)
I just LOVE Japanese culture, the anime, the manga, the food, the costume, the cosplay, the language, the culture…. EVERYTHING!!!! xD

The pop culture in Japan is sweetly unique. It stands on the most latest of fashion trends and is constantly evolving with the times. I love that it can never be defined by one thing. There are so many aspects of pop culture in Japan from manga’s, anime’s, conventions, clothing styles, even behaviours. It’s got layers of different sub culture. Within Harajuku fashions there are visual kei, gyaryu and kawaii fashion.
My favourite part of the Japanese culture is that they aren’t afraid to explore new boundaries and try new and unusual combinations to create something so unique, it’s catchy.
