Pop Culture Country Tier List
How Globally Significant is Japan’s Pop Culture?
Ranking Japan’s contributions to pop culture
LIP is back after a brief hiatus and we have a special, extra-long episode in store for you! We continue our Pop Culture Country Tier List by ranking Japan. First though, we start with some Succession banter (00:16) before discussing optimal grocery habits (6:10) in our mundane postulation. Should you stock-up on your weekly groceries or spontaneously raid the store every couple of days?
Then it is all about Japan. We postulate in-depth about Japan’s contributions to global pop culture in our continued effort to create an objective global ranking (13:17). Our ruminations start with their world-class (and potentially world-beating) cuisine (17:52), their diverse sporting feats (25:55) and the enigma of the Japanese music scene (42:04). Next it’s on to the surprisingly significant global influence of Japanese film & tv (48:50) and literary exploits (59:40), before ending with our wildcard on video games (1:06:50). Where will Japan rank on the global pantheon?
As ever, you can connect with us through our twitter account @InPostulation and via email lostinpostulation@gmail.com. Feedback, questions and postulations all very welcome!
A few months ago, we launched our podcast, Lost In Postulation, in an effort to provide listeners with a form of discussing pop culture that was not yet covered by other podcasts. We have been gradually growing our audience ever since and now want to branch out to the Medium community for feedback. Hope you enjoy!
