Posted in: Gov't draws up 19-point plan to promote 'Cool Japan' See in context

adding gov't support pretty much makes it uncool. let this stuff sell itself. Sushi made its way around the world without the help of some lifelong politician in his 70s. And no amount of gov't promotion is going to help AKB become viewed as talented by anybody other than 13 year old girls and 45 year old single dudes who drive windowless vans.
