pertamax, kok sepi sih?
Actually, I hate the words “Cool Japan”. This phrase is created by some Japanese govermental ministries. I think we don’t need any goverment driven culture trading business. Many private companies already strated this kind of work. In short, ministries juts follow their private companies effort. And finally, I don’t want to become Korean pop culture flood attack to countries all over the world.
Well my opinion is government involvement needed to make legal issues become smoother, for the sake of G to G relationship.
The Japanese govermnetal ministries don’t take any roles to make any leagal activities for the Japanese cultural exporting with any recipient countries. The ministries just want to let the nation know how much they are working hard to export thier own culture to outside. As you can see, from over 10 years ago, Itsuwa Mayumi and Kamen Rider and Larc , Doraemon, Shinchan so on, there are so many pioneers to bring their, Japanese culture to outside. The Japanese govermental ministries donnot nake any cultural transfer to outside smoothy and leagaly. More, sometime, I tend to guess the Japanese ministries have any scecret treaty with the overseas countries to confidential money exchange, especially a sort of big trading house, such as Ito-chu. The “Sougo-Shosha (General Big Trading House)” is the companies mainly serving for Japanese goverment. I have many friends working in Africa to support the poor residents in there. But our goverment does not provide afrodable budget. Japanese goverment just want bring huge budget for the projet which can show the results easily and shortly. I quit my commnets. Coz. I don’t want to make you feel bad.
You are very polite Tomo, my lack of knowledge embarrassed me. Thank you.
Thank you, PN3-san. But I think that I wrote to much. If I ravaged this thread, I appologize banyak
I wonder if Japanese government pays out some of the expenses for those Cool Japan initiatives? If so (e.g. JKT48 is partially paid by Japanese government), that’s not a bad thing
Thank you Anon san,nice to meet you!
Oh, the show is from a TV station in Osaka. I’m originally from Osaka.
In the scene where Bima was introduced, I laughed in spite of myself when the narrator said “same as Japanese hero, Indonesian hero fights with enemy at under the cliff,” because the shooting of the scene vividly reminded me of memories of the Kamen-Rider series which I would often see on Japanese TV in my childhood. I hope Bima will be loved by many children in Indonesia!
“「Many of Indonesian staffs like Japanese tokusatsu at their childhood」 ” In another words image that all about Japan are cool was successfully created before those “Cool Japan” things established by Japanese Government, but the problem that the Japanese creative product are still feels unreacheble because their price and distribution, feels like every Japanese creative product is exclusive item.
For example, GUNPLA (Gundam Plastic Model), this product actually produce by BANDAI, but GUNPLA counterfeit that produce by Chinese are always more popular and accessible, even I have saw those counterfeit product in famous stationary store that also sell JKT OGB, in another word, every Tokusatsu or Anime toys is always provide by chinese because their low price, hahahahaha, so actually image “Cool Japan” maybe could be happen but it just construct a kind of pride not a great profit.
I am also unsure about Bima toys selling because there are always counterfeit product.
Counterfelt issue? This bill is not related to “Cool Japan” project that I commented before. So I think that I have a right to comment. Because “Coutefelt Problem” is not originated by “Cool Japan” products and services, such as “Omotenashi (comfortable and effective welcome hospitality)”. This problem depends on Chinese offensive and outrageous activities. But they never can copy Japanese “original cmfortable and efective welcome hospitality”. Because it is a services, not products. Yeah, Chinnese products are low price. I agree. But if you buy them, you also do outlaw attitude. Or in your country, is it well-accepted by just only by low price and low-quality? If you do so, the original products and services will be disappeared. Becasue you destory the original ones. I saw the copied JKT48 CD on someones Twitter. I was so sad when I saw it. Do you feel it is OK? If you do think so, it means that you kill the originality and the creators life. I don’t want to kill those my be-loved girls future
For BIMA toys itself, so far it seems reachable for me that live in Jakarta, it is quite easy to get some, thanks to Reino-san, even in some toys store some item always sold out (Bima Mask & the soft vinyl figure). It feels gracefull I could bought some to my little sister haha…
in the world of societies melting together, and warheads are seen with a smirk from the stock exchange floors, cultural domination is always a great option.
