Stim Pack for the Elevens

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's manga-loving prime minister, Taro Aso, has long touted the importance of "soft power" content such as comics and anime to boost Japan's global diplomatic status.

Now he's targeting pop culture's economic potential.

Included in a giant stimulus package he unveiled on Friday was a target of raising exports from the "content" sector to about 18 percent of exports from less than 2 percent now.

Explaining his strategy for long-term growth at a news conference the day before, Aso waved glossy magazines from China and Taiwan featuring Japanese pop stars on their covers.

"Japanese content, such as anime and video games, and fashion draw attention from consumers around the world," he said.

"Unfortunately, this 'soft power' is not being linked to business overseas ... By linking the popularity of Japan's 'soft power' to business, I want to create a 20-30 trillion yen ($200-300 billion) market by 2020 and create 500,000 new jobs."

At least one government agency is already eyeing a cultural project using funds from the stimulus package -- Japan's biggest ever and aimed at rescuing the economy from its worst recession in 60 years.

The Cultural Affairs Agency wants nearly 12 billion yen to build a "National Comprehensive Centre for Media Art" that would showcase contemporary Japanese culture such as manga, anime and video games, the Asahi newspaper reported.

"We are thinking of making a request for the funds for such a facility, but the amount is still being worked out," an agency official said.

As it is China and Taiwan can reproduce almost anything that is mass produced in Japan/US. What they cannot produce is culture. So why not promote something that cannot be copied and can be exported easily with almost no requirements for production like steel or oil.

Economic stimulus of cultural and artistic areas has worked before in Japan, especially in the post WWII rebuild. Taiko Drumming, for instance, became so popular because of government grants.

Since the corn syrup isn't really doing the trick anymore for us, maybe the US government should step in and force Hollywood studios to stop making crappy pr0n movies.

Full Metal Panic! Goes Hollywood

Just when you thought you were safe from them dragonballs... BAM

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3i701e5f503331aba0beae0430fe927543

I guess supporting these early adaptations films (no matter what horror they might bring) would be the right thing to do.. after all, their successes opens up opportunities for more future projects!

if you don't know what FMP is, you're missing out!

more evidence of how infected mainstream is:

Well, I have to say one of my interests as of lately is this Japanese animated series called Code Geass. In fact, I bought the DVDs only to find out from a friend who's really, you know, more geeked out about that Japan sort of stuff than I am, [laughter] about the special edition sets they had. Soo... [laughter] I got those too and though they're rather pricey as far as DVDs go I think it was well worth it.

-Justin Timberlake in an interview with Rolling Stone Magazine

"Shit, you know, I gotta say I just recently finished this Japanese graphic novel series.. oh they're call mangas right? Well, anyway I finished this Japanese manga comic series thing called Monster. Absolute brilliance. I mean, seriously, I can't say too much about it without potentially ruining some of the great twists in the series and it has a lot of great twists."

-Shawn Corey Carter (rapper Jay-Z) in an interview with The Source

"GUILTY PLEASURE AS OF RECENTLY: Soul Eater. It's a Japanese cartoon about.. the name's pretty self-explanatory, wouldn't you say?"

-Zach Braff

"Kamina from Gurren something-or-rather. It's one of them Japany cartoon series. Saw it while bored and flipping through cable channels late night. Why can't they show this shit during the day when I'm more awake? Hahaha. Anyway, this Kamina or whoever he is straight up gangsta motherfucker, know what I'm saying? Gotta give props to that sharkman type character uh.. Viral as well. Though he can be a bit of a bitch from time to time. Hahaha."

it's great to see how more and more people are starting to appreciate anime for the brilliant parts within them, with an open mind.

someone's gonna get cut if they screw up tessa
