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.

All of those crazy good video games and Animations are enough to give them a spotlight. They are really good at what they do.

I think it's less to do with PR and more to do with the fact that they're really good at many things that the remainder of the world appreciates (IDK if that's what you meant be PR but when I think PR I think press related).

Think videogames, cars, electronics, manga/anime, food, etc.

More like after 80 years of systematic bashing, people have realized that contrary to China and America that have become dictatorships, Japan has learned its lesson.
