Abstract

Abstract. This study explores the humanistic aspects portrayed in Michihito Fujii's film A Family, focusing on the struggles of yakuza members and their families under the restrictions imposed by Japan's Anti-Organized Crime Countermeasures Law (Botaiho). This research employs a descriptive qualitative method and Carl Rogers' humanistic theory to analyze how the characters, particularly Kenji Yamamoto, navigate social stigma while striving to reconstruct their self-identity. Rogers' concept of self-actualization and incongruence provides a crucial framework for understanding Kenji’s psychological struggles and the broader impact of legal and social exclusion. The findings reveal a connection between self-image, self-esteem, and the ideal self in the characters' efforts to reintegrate into society amidst the marginalization effects caused by Botaiho. The film also highlights the broader implications of legal policies on individuals attempting to leave the criminal underworld, underscoring the need for a more inclusive and supportive social structure. This study contributes to discussions on humanistic values and the psychological impact of marginalization while providing insights into legal policies and their social consequences. Thus, it not only enhances our understanding of the individual struggles depicted in the film but also deepens our appreciation of universal human values. Future research could explore comparative studies on former gang members in different cultural contexts to further understand how legal frameworks and societal perceptions influence identity reconstruction and reintegration.Keywords: A Family, film, botaiho, yakuza, humanistic theory

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the love languages portrayed by the main characters in the drama "Love is Phantom" based on Gary Chapman's The Five Love Languages theory. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method with a structural approach to explore the meaning behind the main characters' interactions. Data was collected through observation and note-taking of dialogues, narratives, and scenes in the drama that demonstrate expressions of the five love languages. The findings reveal that all five love languages are present in the drama, with physical touch being the most frequently used. The male protagonist Hase Kei's primary love language is physical touch, while the female protagonist Hirasawa Momoko predominantly expresses acts of service. Despite having different primary love languages, the relationship between the two characters remains harmonious as they also utilize secondary love languages to meet their partner's needs—Kei employs words of affirmation, and Momoko uses physical touch. The research concludes that understanding a partner's love language contributes significantly to relationship harmony.

Abstract

Popular novels are often adapted into a film. One of the novels adapted into a film with the same title is Yogisha X no Kenshin by Keigo Higashino. The adaptation of this novel resulted in changes to the plot elements, characters, and setting, which impacted audience satisfaction with the film. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method and a structural approach to analyze the process of adapting Yogisha X no Kenshin into a film and identify changes between the novel and film versions. Data was obtained from reading novels and watching films, then analyzing changes in plot, characters, and settings. This research shows that the adaptation process resulted in changes to the story structure; namely, in the plot aspect, there were 28 reductions, 17 additions, and 14 variations. In the character aspect, there are three subtractions, two additions, and six variations of changes. Meanwhile, in the background aspect, there is one reduction, four additions, and 13 variations of changes. The impact of the adaptation process provides different interpretations for viewers of the two works. Nevertheless, the adaptation process as a whole had a positive impact, as seen from the audience's positive response to the adaptation.

Abstract

The Japanese studies field has significantly expanded globally, encompassing diverse themes from traditional cultural aspects to contemporary issues such as globalization and international relations. In Indonesia, Japanese studies play a pivotal role in fostering academic and cultural ties with Japan. The growth of this field is evidenced by the increasing number of academic programs and publications focusing on Japanese language, literature, and culture. Currently, Indonesia hosts 27 Japanese studies journals, which serve as key platforms for disseminating research and strengthening academic engagement. This study adopts a qualitative descriptive approach to map and analyze the development of these journals. It identifies key challenges such as meeting national accreditation standards set by SINTA, ensuring consistent publication quality, and addressing operational sustainability. Other notable issues include article processing charges (APCs) and the need for alignment with international publication norms. Despite these challenges, integrating Japanese cultural philosophy into journal names and designs demonstrates a strong commitment to the field’s identity. In addition, mandatory publication requirements for faculty members and collaborations with academic associations such as ASJI, ASPBJI, and KPSJI provide critical opportunities for these journals to develop further. Rather than merely offering a general overview, this study presents specific insights into the conditions and trajectories of Japanese studies journals in Indonesia, shedding light on their role in strengthening Indonesia’s contribution to global Japanese studies scholarship.

Abstract

This article analyzes three haiku in the animated film Tokyo Godfathers (Satoshi Kon, 2003) to explain their meaning and function in the narrative structure. A qualitative–descriptive design employs two steps: (1) heuristic–hermeneutic reading of the haiku (identifying kigo/kireji; literal and connotative meanings); and (2) structural analysis mapping each haiku to the plot (setup–confrontation–resolution) by its point of appearance, causal links, and character change. Primary data are the film and haiku transcripts; secondary data cover haiku studies and film narratology. Findings shows that the first haiku marks the birth of the mission on Christmas Eve; the second offers maternal encouragement at mid-plot; the third closes accounts on New Year’s Eve. Together the haiku act as act markers, strengthen the home–return motif, and steer character transformation: Hana reconciles with her foster mother and returns Kiyoko, Gin faces his daughter, and Miyuki makes peace with her father.

Abstract

Character conflicts are divided into two, namely external and internal conflicts. This study aims to describe the conflict of the main character, Tatsuro Kuraki, and analyze the cause of the conflict in the novel Hakuchō to Kōmori by Keigo Higashino. This research uses a structural approach with a descriptive qualitative method. The analysis shows that one of the main characters' external conflicts is between Tatsuro Kuraki and Shozo Haitani. Tatsuro accidentally grazed Haitani, so Haitani threatened to report Tatsuro. Furthermore, internal conflict is in the form of Tatsuro's guilt towards the Asaba family, who were victims of police misapprehension in the case of Haitani's death. Furthermore, one of the factors causing conflict in Tatsuro's character is Tatsuro's pity for Shiraishi, who is still a teenager, so he covers up the murder of Haitani committed by Shiraishi. The overall conflict that occurs in the main character has a significant influence on the formation of the plot and other elements in the story.

Abstract

  This study investigates the representation of nationalism in the translation of literary titles published in Djawa Baroe, an Indonesian-language magazine circulated during the Japanese occupation from 1942 to 1945. It focuses on the translation strategies and ideological meanings conveyed through lexical choices and symbolic narratives. The analysis identifies twenty-six translated titles, examining three representative examples in detail to illustrate how linguistic adaptation intersects with nationalist discourse. Employing Vinay and Darbelnet’s translation model, the study distinguishes between direct and oblique strategies to explain how titles were modified to fit Indonesian conventions while resonating with nationalist sentiments. Additionally, Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) situates these strategies within broader ideological and socio-political contexts, allowing the research to capture micro-level textual operations and reveal how translation acted as discourse production embedded within wartime power structures. Findings demonstrate that translators utilized deliberate techniques such as modulation, equivalence, and orthographic adjustment to enhance readability and embed ideological content, foregrounding themes of patriotism, sacrifice, and devotion to the motherland. This highlights that translation in Djawa Baroe was far from a neutral linguistic transfer; instead, it emerged as a politically charged act of cultural mediation. By illustrating how Japanese occupation propaganda intersected with Indonesian nationalist discourse through translation, this study contributes to translation studies by underscoring the ideological role of translation as an instrument of power, identity, and cultural hegemony.
