Japanese popular culture : ウィキペディア英語版 | Japanese popular culture
Japanese popular culture not only reflects the attitudes and concerns of the present but also provides a link to the past. Japanese cinema, cuisine, television proograms, anime, manga, and music all developed from older artistic and literary traditions, and many of their themes and styles of presentation can be traced to traditional art forms. Contemporary forms of popular culture, much like the traditional forms, provide not only entertainment but also an escape for the contemporary Japanese from the problems of an industrial world. A wide variety of types of popular entertainment are available. There is a large selection of music, films, and the products of a huge comic book industry, among other forms of entertainment, from which to choose. Game centers, bowling alleys, and karaoke parlors are well-known hangout places for teens while older people may play ''shogi'' or ''go'' in specialized parlors. ==''Kawaii''== (詳細はcute" and "beautiful". Cuteness seems to be a highly valued aesthetic quality in Japanese society and particularly Japanese pop culture, and overpowering cuteness seems to carry less of the stigma of infantilization as it does in many other cultures. ''Kawaii'' is pronounced Ka-wa-ee (not to be confused with ''kowai'', Ko-wai, the Japanese term for "scary"). ''Kawaii'' can be used to describe animals and people, including fully grown adults; while attractive women are usually described as ''kawaii'', young men are more likely to be described as ''kakkoii'', Kak-ko-ee, which is "good looking" or "cool". ''Kawaii'' is also used to describe some men who are considered to have "cute" personalities.
