The Attention Economy is Rewarding Bad Behavior
More and more, content creators have to pull bigger and more harmful stunts to get attention online. Some aren't as serious, such as the various extreme makeup techniques on beauty TikTok. But when we get into the territory of lying, wastefulness, and putting other people in danger, when does it stop?

Переглядів 3,7 тис.Місяць тому
Clips from both Blue Lock Season 2 and Uzumaki have been making their rounds online... it's clear that there's an ongoing problem within the animation industry for multiple series to have quality drops like this. Let's talk about the exploitation of animators and the current state of this creative space. Sources: www.nytimes.com/2021/02/24/business/japan-anime.html www.grandviewresearch.com/ind...
Is Japan Really Experiencing an Overtourism Crisis?
Переглядів 1,8 тис.2 місяці тому
Japan has been attracting millions of tourists within the past few years, much due to the help of government initiatives and visitors posting about their trips on social media. But while visitation numbers have rapidly increased, is the country actually on the brink of overtourism? Or is it all being exaggerated?

The Confusing Marketing of Global Girl Groups: A Case Study of Katseye

    I'm enjoying your videos, this one hits me tho, I really wanna visit Japan, I've heard about the issues within Japan, from the blocking of the mountain to the lack of respect people are showing towards the culture and the people. I hope this changes as I value their culture and traditions, I want to see every sight possible in whatever time I can be there I often pick up trubbish in my own local woodlands when I manage to get out in the UK, and I'd hope I would be the same in Japan.

    I worked on the first season of Blue Lock, the problems were the same since then, just not as accentuated as they are now. As much polished movement as I could send, most of my cuts were reduced to still frames with a little bit of hair/cloth movement, which was incredibly frustrating. We are not allowed to show our LO work online, I imagine this is to save face with the audience.

    It's so unfortunate that it hurts to see an anime such as Blue Lock get substandard animation, because we all agree that for the story and the intense passion it generates among the readers, it deserves a way better quality animation. Not to say that I don't care about those involved in making the anime though, they're humans and not robots after all and deserve fair treatment and justice, I just wish the entire Blue Lock team got it together for once and hit the peak again.

    The problem is the tourists all in the same location like Shibuya crossing or Kyoto and it not only annoys the locals, it disrupts the lives of locals trying to commute. It's just a regular crossing in front a busy train station for crying out loud. Nobody in Japan ever cared for it. Stop taking selfies like you're some kind of "ONOBORI-san."

    Japan is simply not well equipped for tourism if it finds itself in difficulty with 30 million visitors a year. They have probably started experimenting with tourism recently and don't yet know how to deal with it, 30 million a year in a country of 120 million people is not a lot, as you say France, Spain and Italy have higher numbers (but they have been used to it for decades and decades).

    A little correction. The lack of garbage disposal containers in public places and bringing your trash home with you are not Japanese cultural norms. There used to be garbage disposal containers everywhere. However, a rash of terrorism incidents involving garbage disposal containers in the mid 90s resulted in the removal of most of them and the concept of bringing home your trash was born. However, nobody has ever liked it and with the influx of tourists now, garbage disposal containers in public places are happily reappearing again.

    my flights on sale in the UK were £600 booking over 6 months in advance (so around ¥117,000) which is frankly insane prices. Then combined with the weak Yen as a whole it makes it so much more possible to travel. That being said, as someone who adores Japanese culture and how respectful its people are to their history and their environment now, I wish more tourists would be as respectful to Japan and its people when travelling. The rubbish thing is such a pet peeve to me, as I'd assume these tourists are staying somewhere, so keep it in your bag and dispose of it at the hotel etc. at the end of the day. Also, this is the first time I felt like having to state "いいえ、私はイギリス人です" (No, I'm English), so I think there is a lot of anti-American tourism going on that is being driven by social media.

    tourist overflow is like drinking salt water. you drink to get even thirstier. it's a loop that feeds itself. it's a curse that makes the lives of locals miserable. mediterranean/balkan friends will understand what I'm saying. Let me give an example. I'm from turkey. Right now in Antalya (mediterranean city) there is a strong russian/ukrainian diaspora going on. They own businesses, they have their tourism networks, they have their properties and large capital. Locals have to move out because the area has gotten ridiculously expensive. It's a clear example of what tourism has potential for. Locals are normal regular humans but these blondes bring expensive luxury stuff where they go so local people are at misery.

I think it should be regulated by law like in Singapore so that some Japan and tourists who cannot follow the rules will also follow them.
