Abstract

This paper presents a narrative review of Indonesian academic discourse on Japanese popular culture and examines how this field has developed over the past twenty years. Using selected keyword searches in academic databases and journals, 97 relevant articles published between 2003 and 2023 have been identified. These articles are thematically coded and analyzed to map prevailing research trajectories. The review reveals four dominant themes: (1) cinema and anime, (2) audience and reception, (3) soft power and cultural diplomacy, and (4) representation and identity. This mapping highlights both well-established areas of study and underexplored topics that require further attention. By identifying gaps in the existing literature and suggesting new directions for inquiry, the paper contributes to a deeper understanding of how Japanese popular culture has been studied in Indonesia. It also provides a foundation for future scholarship and a resource for those seeking to expand this field.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the politeness strategies in the form of ability compliments used by Japanese netizens in the comments column of Yahoo News Japan about the missing scissors incident at New Chitose Airport, Hokkaido. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with data taken from comments published on August 19–20, 2024. The object of research is comments that contain compliments on abilities, correct actions, or commendable behavior. Data analysis used the classification of compliments by Mizutani & Mizutani (1987), the politeness strategies of Brown & Levinson (1987), and the concept of cyberpragmatics from Rahardi (2020). From the analysis, it was found that all compliments use the positive politeness strategy. The compliments appear in several forms, such as explicit praise for discipline, recognition of correct responses, and empathetic expressions that emphasize solidarity. This shows that even though the comments were written anonymously, Japanese netizens still uphold politeness values such as enryo (modesty) and wakimae (social conformity). In the context of cyberpragmatics, compliments not only function as positive evaluations but also as a way to strengthen relationships, give moral support, and maintain collective identity (wa/和) in digital communication.

Abstract

This study is based on the phenomenon in the anime Orange, which depicts the psychological dynamics of the main character, Naho Takamiya, in facing life challenges and interpersonal relationships. The issue raised in this study is how Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs is reflected through the behaviour and dialogue of the character. This study aims to describe Abraham Maslow's humanistic psychology theory in the anime Orange. The method used is qualitative descriptive with data collection techniques conducted through observation and documentation. The data analysed consists of dialogues related to Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs. The results show that Naho Takamiya fulfils all five levels of needs according to Maslow’s theory: physiological needs, safety needs, love and belonging needs, esteem needs, and self-actualisation needs. This study shows that character development in fictional works can be analysed through a psychological perspective.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the representation of honne (true feelings) and tatemae (social expressions) in the anime film Koe no Katachi by Yoshitoki Ōima, highlighting the dynamics of interpersonal communication in the context of bullying, trauma, and reconciliation. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method using Stuart Hall’s theory of representation and the concepts of honne and tatemae as the analytical framework. Data were drawn from five key dialogue excerpts, analyzed to reveal how verbal and non-verbal expressions represent the dynamics of sincerity and pretense in character interactions. The findings identify three main categories: hidden honne, pleasant tatemae, and strategic tatemae. This study emphasizes the importance of authentic communication in maintaining social harmony and strengthening interpersonal relationships, and its implications are relevant for understanding cross-cultural communication dynamics and their application in character education, particularly in conflict resolution and bullying prevention.

Abstract

This research aims to describe the needs of the character Izumi Kudo in the film Narratage with Henry Murray's personology theory, which states that need is a mental drive formed from brain activity in regulating perception, thought, and action to overcome unsatisfactory conditions, generally influenced by environmental factors accompanied by certain emotions. The focus of the research is the needs of the character Izumi, who is involved in a complicated relationship with Hayama Takashi, which is influenced by differences in age and social status. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with observation techniques and documentation of scenes and dialogues. The results show that Izumi Kudo has six needs according to Henry Murray: inavoidance, affiliation, succorance, deference, nurturance, and sex. The conclusion of this study is that Izumi's personality is not driven by a single need, but rather by a series of complementary needs, thus shaping Izumi's identity and life journey in the film Narratage.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the phenomenon of defeminization in the use of Japanese Speech Style. The term defeminization in this study is adopted from Okamoto (1995, 1996), referring to the phenomenon of diminishing or devaluing an individual's feminine attributes. Defeminization not only occurs in role or yakuwarigo but also represents a widespread social phenomenon in Japanese society. In the anime Kusuriya no Hitorigoto season 1, defeminization is identified through the speech style of the main female character, Maomao. The data showed that Maomao does not use feminine forms, especially when using final particles, despite her gender. This study employed a sociolinguistic approach to examine the contextual meaning of Maomao's utterances that demonstrate defeminization, and it also considered Maomao's social interactions as a factor influencing her choice of speech style. Data was collected through recordings and transcriptions from Netflix. The research revealed that Maomao used vowel coalescence in -shitee (shitai), final sentence endings such as -dayo and -daro, command forms like -shiro), and terms like oyaji as an address form, which are recognized as non-feminine forms. Additionally, Maomao's birth circumstances and environment in Kusuriya no Hitorigoto contribute to the occurrence of defeminization.

Abstract

Intercultural or another term for intercultural is a concept that brings together two or more cultural elements to then be integrated into new knowledge and understanding for each individual or group of people who want to know about the development of foreign cultures. In learning literature, intercultural is needed as a forum to develop global insight and knowledge. Learning literature is not only learning about the nature and content of literary works, learning literature means learning to be cultured and cultivating the culture itself. The data for this study were taken from famous novels from each country. The research data are: A novel entitled "Geisha" by Arthur Golden from Japan and a novel entitled "Cantik itu Luka" by Eka Kurniawan from Indonesia. This study is a qualitative phenomenological study by raising the similarities in culture and the position of women in the two novels used as data. This study aims to explain that there are similarities in culture in Indonesia and Japan that can be observed through learning literature, especially fictional works in the form of novels. This study found that Japanese women and Indonesian women are considered inferior and only tools to satisfy male lust. But behind that assumption, there is strength and politeness in women that makes them valuable and able to rise against the reality of life presented in front of them. Women are not weak creatures, whatever their culture, women are important entities that support the sustainability of human life on earth.

Abstract

This research analyzes bento inscriptions as a form of nonverbal communication in the film Bento Harassment (今日も嫌がらせ弁当) through Roland Barthes semiotic theory. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, it explores how denotation, connotation, and myth are reflected in bento messages, revealing emotions, cultural values, and the mother-daughter relationship dynamics. At the denotative level, the bento is a literal meal; at the connotative level, it conveys the mother's affection, frustration, and moral lessons. Mythologically, the bento symbolizes Japanese cultural values, such as hard work and indirect family communication, illustrating how food expresses love and care. This study contributes to semiotics in visual culture by demonstrating how everyday objects like bento serve as symbolic tools for conveying meaning beyond verbal communication.
