Japan is a country rich in pop culture, which has spread all around the world and had a big influence. Popular culture changes quickly and drastically, but who are the biggest icons from Japanese Pop Culture in recent years? Here is our Top 5!

1. ハローキティ – Hello Kitty

https://33.media.tumblr.com/05c886ee6b6bac4053bf6ee2ad16dbc0/tumblr_inline_o60i4xwRAk1tqv1ik_500.gif

Hello Kitty, also known as Kitī-chan in Japanese, is one of the major characters in Japan, and a symbol of “Cute” culture. Hardcore fans of Kitty are called kitirā (キティラー). Hello Kitty is popular overseas as well. For example, celebrities like Paris Hilton, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga are known to be enthusiastic Kitty fans.

2. AKB48

https://33.media.tumblr.com/d2e30e230ab66f44594bc37a95820788/tumblr_inline_o60i6ktsO11tqv1ik_500.gif

AKB48 is currently the most popular idol group in Japan, and known for the fact that they have many overseas fans as well. Working from the concept of “idols whose fans can meet and greet”, they have live performances at their own theater, or handshake sessions as part of their service to their fans. AKB was the first female idol group in Japan to adopt a general election system to decide on its members.

3. 初音ミク – Hatsune Miku

https://33.media.tumblr.com/29bd9f957ce2d5c753614c03a30e58b2/tumblr_inline_o60i90Lmgu1tqv1ik_500.gif

Many people may think of Hatsune Miku as a character with green twin ponytails. Hatsune Miku has been recognized as one of the most famous characters in the world, but the name was originally used for a synthetic vocal sound source. When they created a character of a virtual reality idol for the sound source so that it would be more realistic, it became a big hit across Japan. And not only did it become popular in the country, but it has also gained a big reputation overseas, and even performed in the first part of one of Lady Gaga’s concerts.

4. きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅ – Kyary Pamyu Pamyu

https://33.media.tumblr.com/e434310c9bd758039293acc1642f43ab/tumblr_inline_o60ibkHJja1tqv1ik_500.gif

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu is a fashion icon of the Kawaii (かわいい, “cute”) style, which is highly regarded overseas, and has gone on multiple word tours. She has also been chosen as the “Harajuku Kawaii Ambassador” (Harajuku kawaii taishi, 原宿カワイイ大使) based in Harajuku, which is the center of Japanese pop culture. Although she started her career as a fashion model in Japan, she has become well-known as a singer since her first single Tsukematukeru (つけまつける) was a big hit.

5. ポケモン – Pokemon

https://38.media.tumblr.com/c62913e9b676a3f97a7d7f13dae2129d/tumblr_inline_o60i2jMyqE1tqv1ik_500.gif

Pocket Monsters – also known as Pokemon – have captured the hearts of children, not only in Japan, but also around the world. It all started from game software for Game Boy which was released by Nintendo in 1996. The game was so popular among both boys and girls that it became one of the biggest megahits in the Japanese game industry. This year Pokemon celebrated its 20th anniversary with a 5 million dollar commercial.

10 Japanese Anime Words other languages want in their Dictionary

https://cdn.innovativelanguage.com/sns/em/blog/2016/04_April/anime_words.png

Click here to start learning Japanese for Free!

Thanks to Japanese, we realize we miss a lot of words and expressions in our own languages. If you’re looking for Japanese words we should have in our dictionary, this list is for you!

You can hear these commonly used words in anime or dramas. They are pretty easy to understand, but when it comes to translating them or to explaining the meaning, it’s a different story! However, we tried to find the best definition for you, so arigatou for your understanding!

1. 先生 (Sensei) “Professor”

https://j.gifs.com/XDP7j8.gif

This word can be used for all the people that teach you something. A teacher, a doctor, a philosopher… everybody can be a sensei for somebody else.

2. お疲れ様 (Otsukaresama) “Good work today

https://38.media.tumblr.com/05b1b970b9d83fbb342ba6342913ec44/tumblr_inline_o5v18nWCMI1tqv1ik_540.gif

After a good day of work, you can use otsukaresama as a catch-all farewell of sorts when you’re passing a coworker in the hall on the way home at the end of the day. It means that even if you’re tired, a good job has been done.

3. しょうがない (Shoganai) “Nothing can be done about it/It can’t be helped”

https://33.media.tumblr.com/5c5e6d012d8e3331da6a7788d22ced3f/tumblr_inline_o5v1dy4Pzt1tqv1ik_500.gif

The Japanese phrase shoganai, or “it can’t be helped,” is an important word in Japanese. It’s often used to describe Japanese culture, thinking and values. Shoganai is essentially a philosophy. It says that if something is out of your control, it’s better to quickly accept it and move on.

4. 頂きます (Itadakimasu) “I humbly receive”

https://38.media.tumblr.com/7174a387da77aae5583e445b160ee299/tumblr_inline_o5v1h77I5I1tqv1ik_500.gif

In Japan, it’s common to say itadakimasu before eating a meal. The word itadakimasu is often translated as “I humbly receive,” but when relating to food, it’s often compared to saying “Let’s eat,” “Bon appétit,” or “Thanks for the food.”

5. 猫舌 (Nekojita) “Cat’s tongue”

https://38.media.tumblr.com/b5caf8edf8ae12ec938006ee0ead855b/tumblr_inline_o5v0npVnk41tqv1ik_500.gif

It’s not uncommon to see, for example, in a ramen restaurant how Japanese people enter, order, eat and leaves in just a few minutes. Some people seem to not care about something being really really hot. In Japan, people who unable to eat really hot food are called nekojita. It literally means “cat’s tongue.”

6. 木漏れ日 (Komorebi) “The light that filters through the trees”

https://38.media.tumblr.com/3c9b73efa49846cd5f9884618cd55bb3/tumblr_inline_o5v0n0w0YC1tqv1ik_500.gif

This is the word the Japanese have for when sunlight filters through the trees – the interplay between the light and the leaves. It’s a beautiful word with a poetic meaning.

7. 上げ劣り (Ageotori) “To look worse after a haircut”

https://38.media.tumblr.com/1bf39f315fafebcd3380eb8cfe7aff6a/tumblr_inline_o5v1lfYAVf1tqv1ik_500.gif

This is the horrible feeling you have after visiting the hairdresser and they totally messed up your hair!

8. ドキドキ (Dokidoki) “Onomatopoeia for heartbeat”

https://38.media.tumblr.com/0d8960544ce2491b52f5920ef918c0d2/tumblr_inline_o5v0oo4Aup1tqv1ik_500.gif

This is usually used to refer to the heart beating in relation to love, like how the heart beats faster when you are around that one special person. You will often find it Japanese romance anime and manga.

9. 森林浴 (Shinrinyoku) “Forest bathing”

https://38.media.tumblr.com/e55544b5008d6c2adbe4831e800ebde1/tumblr_inline_o5v1ryq5xl1tqv1ik_540.gif

This word is used when you get deep into the woods, where everything is silent and peaceful for relaxation.

10. バカ (Baka) “Idiot”

https://33.media.tumblr.com/506dd27e06a3554a939bf3416ac413e9/tumblr_inline_o5v0m72QOe1tqv1ik_500.gif
