caravanier: what about yuru-chara? japanese people seems to love making mascots out of everything...there's plenty of article about it if you look it up on google. http://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2011/03/03/lifestyle/the-busy-lives-of-japans-super-furry-creatures/ http://www.deepjapan.org/a/4289(sorry for the spam! ;v; i hope this can help you w/ your research)
It totally helps! Thank you so much! Lemme really quickly go through the article! ;v;
plisetskun Festivals like the penis festival. Kotatsu, having no cleaning ladies in schools and students having to clean the whole school themselves. Hope this helps!
I was thinking of that festival too actually! It super helps thank you! Lemme see if I can find any journals... I am going to analyze the article but I want to have other journal sources to back up my claim.
r-etro How about the idol industry
I was thinking about this one too! I actually don’t know that much about the idol industry in Japan, I know far more about the kpop industry. ALTHOUGH... I have another essay I have to write... gimme a sec and think about this for a moment... Nah, OKAY. ;v; anywho! lemme see if I can find any good articles about the jpop industry (since it has to be japan).
