Abstract

Background: The theme of friendship in anime is often why an anime fan makes an anime title his/ her favorite. One Piece by Eiichiro Oda is an anime themed on the friendship of pirate crews. It aired on Indonesia’s private television station in the 2000s. In One Piece, the word “Nakama” is assumed to represent the sincere bonds of friendship offered by the character Luffy. But there’s also an assumption about the hidden meaning of making someone into their nakama. Not the one celebrated by the fans, but a reciprocal deed of a human being who needs another person’s help to reach their ambition. The assumption is up because One Piece fan who was touched by this character’s charisma also called themselves “Nakama.” Purpose: Find out the dominant, negotiation, and opposition regarding the scene of “Nakama” explanation by the character Nami in anime episode 102. Methods: This research used a qualitative method with a reception analysis approach by Stuart Hall. An in-depth interview was conducted with four informants who had been fans of One Piece since childhood and studied Japanese language and culture. Results: This research revealed that “nakama” has a biased meaning and does not only refer to “sincere friendship .”The informant’s answers were also influenced by their knowledge of Japanese culture learned in college and their everyday socializing experiences. Two informants are in the dominant hegemony position, and the rest are in a negotiation position because they have not found someone like “nakama” in the One Piece anime. Implications: Provide information about how the audience learning the Japanese language and culture view the meaning of “nakama” in their favorite anime and their view about friendship in real life.

Abstract

This study investigates how Japanese language students view group poster presentations as a project-based integrated language learning process. Japanese language students in higher education must possess both the hard and soft skills necessary for the workplace in the twenty-first century. Therefore, developing Japanese language learning methods is necessary to enhance both learners' soft skills and Japanese proficiency. The project-based learning (PjBL) approach was carried out through a project assigned in the Speaking course, namely in group poster presentations. This research investigated students' perceptions after implementing poster presentation activities to develop their soft skills. The research data were collected using questionnaires, interviews with selected students, and observations during the 8-week project. The results of this study show that the Japanese language students respond favourably to the implementation of the group poster presentation project. Poster presentation activities encourage the students to practice their four Japanese language skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) in realistic communication. At the same time, these group project activities help the students understand the value of interpersonal skills, project management, critical thinking and problem-solving, teamwork, and communication skills in completing a project.

Abstract

MUI's fatwa in the case of blasphemy and insulting clerics by Ahok is a complex event. It not only signifies the rise of political Islam in the arena of contestation but also symbolizes the presence of identity representation. MUI through its fatwa seems to confirm the presence of sectarian identity based on religion. This refers to Johnson's concept that the media text leads to something behind it. By analyzing the fatwa, it becomes clear that through its text, MUI not only shows itself as an affirmation of Islamic identity as the dominant but also as a binary differentiator in the cultural representation of Indonesian society in various other dimensions. By using a text analysis approach and also a literature study, the author concluded that MUI has opened political identity in the electoral arena. The issuance of MUI fatwa text in Ahok's case has opened a new level of cultural representation dynamics, through religious identity that goes hand in hand with electoral contestation.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of the Japanese language in workplace oral communication and some difficulties faced by Japanese speakers. ‘Japanese speakers’ refers to Indonesians who work as Japanese-speaking staff in Japanese companies. The data was obtained through applying questioner methods, Focus Group Discussions, and followed by in-depth interviews with respondents. The research respondents were Japanese speakers at KIIC (Karawang International Industrial City) of West Java. This study shows that Japanese language competence plays a significant role in smooth communication in the Japanese industry, especially in tier 2 and 3 companies. Japanese oral communication activities include internal (shanai) and external communication (shagai). Communication is generally used for completing work carried out through discussions or meetings, presentations to superiors and customers, suppliers, and communication with Japanese colleagues. In addition, because the Horenso concept is still strongly applied as an organizational communication system, the need to communicate in Japanese for hookoku, renraku, and soodan purposes is also significant. The difficulties experienced by Japanese speakers are seen in the difficulty of choosing expressions appropriate to the context and purpose of the conversation. This is partly due to their lack of understanding of the application of the concepts of ningen kankei and uchi-soto in Japanese business communication practices. Employees who have business Japanese competencies have a greater chance of advancing their careers. This research will continue to be refined to obtain results with a strong foundation as a basis for consideration in compiling business Japanese language teaching materials and improving the applied Japanese language curriculum to suit the needs of today's workplace.

Abstract

Instagram has become a major tool in shaping tourism representation and constructing cultural identity. This research analyzes how the Tomb of the Mataram Kings in Yogyakarta is represented on Instagram @kratonjogja and its impact on tourists' interpretations. Using a critical phenomenology approach, the study argues that Instagram is not merely a promotional platform but also an instrument of symbolic domination that aestheticizes and commodifies cultural heritage. Through digital content analysis, in-depth interviews, and participatory observation, this study reveals that tourists' experiences are increasingly mediated by digital expectations, diluting the historical and spiritual significance of the sites. Consequently, this study underscores the necessity for a critically informed tourism management strategy to mitigate the symbolic dominance of digital platforms while safeguarding the historical-spiritual integrity of cultural sites within contemporary tourism promotion dynamics.
