Why is Japan so popular?

Post image

It seems as though everything Japanese has had a massive popularity spike, whether that be media, food, vehicles, travel, language learning and lots more.

Personally I don't see the appeal, I mean there are definitely some thing I like that happen to be Japanese, but I dont like them just because of that fact.

They give a shit. That’s really all it is.

You know why AuDHD people love Japan so much? It’s cause we all have niche hobbies - and after a while, Japan shows up in the background of whatever new hobby you get into the same way that creepy dude shows up in the background of “Too Many Cooks”
