Abstract

This study explores the semiotic representation of leadership embodied by the main character in the first season of the anime “Dr. Stone” directed by Shinya Iino. Utilizing Peirce’s semiotic theory, the research analyzes key scenes to uncover how visual and verbal signs construct the image of leadership within the context of Japanese popular culture. Data were collected through purposive sampling of selected episodes, focusing on narrative and character interactions that depict leadership values. The findings reveal that Senku Ishigami’s leadership is represented through specific icons, indexes, and symbols—such as scientific tools, gestures, and verbal affirmations—which collectively construct a unique leadership model that blends rationality, collectivism, and resilience. The study highlights how anime functions not only as entertainment but also as a medium for transmitting contemporary leadership values. The implications of this research suggest a need for broader cultural studies on leadership narratives in Japanese media, providing new insights for educators and scholars in language and cultural studies.

Abstract

This study explores the influence of Japanese language proficiency and internship experience on students’ readiness for professional engagement within Japanese-speaking tourism service environments. Focusing on students from the Diploma 4 Tourism Business Program and the Diploma 3 Travel Program at Makassar Tourism Polytechnic, the research addresses the persistent gap between academic language instruction and real-world communicative competence in Japanese Language Skills contexts. A quantitative method was employed, involving 124 students who had completed internships and enrolled in elective Japanese language courses. Data were analyzed using SmartPLS version 4.1.1.4, incorporating outer and inner model assessments such as convergent validity, discriminant validity, composite reliability, R², f², and hypothesis testing for both direct and indirect effects. The findings indicate that internship experience has a significantly strong influence on students’ readiness to interact with Japanese partners (f² = 0.8398; p < 0.001), while general Japanese language proficiency exerts a moderate yet meaningful impact. Conversely, basic text mastery and formal Japanese communication skills show weak and statistically insignificant effects. These results underscore the vital role of experiential learning in enhancing functional language application in professional settings. The study recommends integrating practical language activities into internships and strengthening collaboration between academic programs and industry. Future research should examine the quality of internship placements and evaluate ESP outcomes across different hospitality and tourism programs

Abstract

This study analyses the use of figurative language in The Book 1 album lyrics by YOASOBI through a semantic approach. Figurative language, including metaphor, personification, simile, and hyperbole, is crucial in enhancing song lyrics' emotional depth and artistic expression. This research explores how these figurative elements contribute to meaning-making and emotional engagement in the songs. A qualitative descriptive-analytical method focused on semantic analysis of selected lyrics. The data consist of seven songs from the album The Book 1, which were analysed through document analysis to identify patterns of figurative language. Each instance of metaphor, personification, simile, and hyperbole was categorized based on its linguistic structure and contextual function within the lyrics. The findings reveal that metaphors in YOASOBI’s lyrics establish strong symbolic imagery by connecting abstract concepts with concrete objects. Personification is used to attribute human qualities to non-human entities, intensifying emotional resonance. Simile explicitly compares two distinct elements to clarify feelings, while hyperbole amplifies emotions to create dramatic effects. These devices collectively enrich the meaning of the lyrics, allowing listeners to experience a deeper emotional connection to the songs. The study concludes that YOASOBI’s use of figurative language enhances their music's aesthetic and emotive aspects, making their lyrics more impactful and immersive.

Abstract

This study analyzes the application of the classical detective formula in Keigo Higashino’s novel Yogisha X no Kenshin using John George Cawelti’s theory of the classical detective formula. The purpose of this research is to identify the narrative patterns and their modifications that distinguish the novel from conventional detective formulas. The study employs a descriptive qualitative method with a close-reading technique. The data were obtained from the Japanese version of the novel and its Indonesian translation, then classified according to the five aspects of the classical detective formula: introduction of the detective, crime and clues, investigation, announcement of the solution, explanation of the solution, and the ending. The findings show that although the classical detective formula is applied consistently, it is accompanied by structural innovations. The story does not begin with the introduction of the detective, but instead opens with the depiction of a crime supported by false clues functioning as diversions. The character Yukawa Manabu is portrayed as a physics professor who solves the case through a scientific approach. The investigation process highlights not only the criminal aspects but also the moral conflicts accompanying the perpetrator’s actions. The stages of announcing and explaining the solution, together with the ending, are presented sequentially and form a confrontational structure in revealing the true perpetrator. Yogisha X no Kenshin enriches the detective genre by modifying the classical formula through scientific reasoning, clue manipulation, and nuanced characterization of the perpetrator. Such innovations represent an important contribution to the development of modern detective formulas in Japan.

Abstract

This study investigates the morphological formation of gairaigo in volleyball terminology as used in the anime Haikyu!! by Haruichi Furudate. The research aims to identify the types of word formation processes and the changes in word class that occur in loanwords adapted into Japanese. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through observation and note-taking of dialogues in the first season of Haikyu!!. The data were analysed using a distributional approach to classify the forms and structural changes of gairaigo. The study identified 104 gairaigo items, most of which originated from English, with a smaller portion derived from Italian. The findings show that the dominant word formation processes include compounding, borrowing, affixation, and abbreviation. Furthermore, several gairaigo exhibited a shift in word class from nouns to verbs through the addition of suru and its conjugated forms. These results demonstrate the productivity of Japanese morphology in adapting foreign terminology, especially within the domain of modern sports. The study highlights how anime serves as a linguistic medium that reflects lexical innovation and the integration of global cultural elements into Japanese vocabulary.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis representasi identitas gender dalam lagu Onnanoko ni Naritai karya Mafumafu. Lagu populer tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai hiburan, tetapi juga sebagai teks budaya yang memuat sistem tanda dan makna sosial. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan kerangka semiotika Charles Sanders Peirce. Data penelitian berupa lirik dan elemen visual dalam musik video resmi lagu tersebut. Analisis dilakukan melalui identifikasi tanda, klasifikasi ikon, indeks, dan simbol, serta penafsiran relasi representamen, objek, dan interpretant untuk memahami pembentukan makna gender. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tanda ikonik menghadirkan citra dunia dongeng yang merepresentasikan feminitas sebagai ruang ideal yang aman dan penuh penerimaan, tanda indeksikal memperlihatkan konflik identitas tokoh akibat ketidakmampuan memenuhi ekspektasi maskulinitas normatif, sedangkan tanda simbolik menunjukkan bahwa gender dipahami sebagai konstruksi sosial yang membutuhkan pengakuan masyarakat. Interaksi antara lirik dan visual membentuk proses semiosis yang menggambarkan keinginan tokoh menjadi perempuan sebagai upaya mencari identitas sosial yang memungkinkan ekspresi emosi dan penerimaan diri. Dengan demikian, lagu Onnanoko ni Naritai merepresentasikan negosiasi identitas gender dalam budaya Jepang kontemporer dan menunjukkan bahwa musik populer dapat dibaca sebagai teks sosial yang mencerminkan dinamika hubungan antara individu dan norma gender.

Abstract

This study analyzes the representation of Oda Nobunaga in the video game Samurai Warriors 4 using Ferdinand de Saussure’s semiotic approach. The research aims to identify how visual elements, dialogues, and narrative structures construct the image of Nobunaga within the game. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method with data collected through gameplay observation, screenshot documentation, and dialogue transcription from the story mode of the game. The analysis focused on eight selected scenes that prominently featured Oda Nobunaga and contained significant visual and verbal elements related to character design, leadership interactions, and military strategy. The analysis focused on the relationship between signifier and signified in visual and verbal representations of the character. The findings reveal that Oda Nobunaga is represented as a powerful, charismatic, strategic, and dominant military leader. Visual signs such as golden armor, red cloak, facial expressions, and battle gestures symbolize authority, ambition, and military dominance. Verbal signs through dialogues further reinforce Nobunaga’s image as an authoritarian and strategic leader. In addition, battle scenes and campaign narratives reconstruct Nobunaga as a central figure in the unification of Japan during the Sengoku period. The study also shows that historical figures in video games undergo dramatization and symbolic reconstruction to fit contemporary narrative and entertainment purposes. Therefore, Samurai Warriors 4 functions not only as entertainment media but also as a cultural representation that shapes players’ perceptions of historical figures in popular culture.
