(little) Japan died in the late 80s with the asset bubble collapse. All of their dreams and pride and economic powers were crushed and have been dead for decades. They haven't even returned to late 80s real wage rates. Now it hosts over a million NEETs, a million pedophiles, and millions of those who reminisce on high school and haven't matured past it.
It's amazing how closely a nation's artistic achievements parallel its success/hopes/ambitions and image of itself. Anime is another example of that.

Why do you hate japan?

Two can play at that game.

Japanese culture in general has become very immature. I see no integrity nor seriousness in their music and movies.
Jordan Adams
They've had some decent shows and movies in recent years. Don't know much about music as it's hard to find it on youtube nowadays.

Japan Then
>genius directors like Kurosawa and Ozu that made world renowned films
>genius writers like Mishima, Oe, Dazai, Endo etc. who wrote world renowned literature
>cutting edge tech and electronics industry, ran by Japanese visionaries
>based culture revolving around manliness and respect
Japan Now
>shit tier movie industry, nobody can even name a truly great Japanese film from this century
>only meme writers like Murakami left
>30 year recession that shows no signs of ending
>culture taken over by pedophiles and autists
What went wrong?
Adam Morgan
hmmm, can't really blame this one on the bombs can we? Is it da joos? Or is that one Jap psycho user right and Koreans have taken over their entertainment industry and are applying the techniques they've learned from all that Talmud reading that's going on there, to destroy the Jap soul in revenge?
Nathan Hall
Is "ids da pesky koreans" the weeaboo equivalent to stormfags' "ids tha jooos"?
Daniel Thompson
Idk, I've heard about it only from that one Jap user. But other Jap user always tell to ignore him, cause he's a psycho.
Oliver Stewart
I meant "other Jap anons"

no one pays for their song these days. some people still pay for the event ticket that comes with their product.

Gavin Reed

Jace Stewart
Why so many fucking singers?
Jap music is absolute shit desu.
>tfw Japanese music is just anime music
Oliver Carter
It seems like japanese music got stuck somewhere in the early 2000s.
It just doesn't seem to evolve at all. I've heard different versions of this song in the OP for anime going way back.
Ayden Walker
I liked these girls. They make decent music.
Most japanese ballads, and pop are absolute garbage.
Matthew Smith
If the current anime trend dies, Japan remains nothing and dies.
