授業の到達目標及びテーマ
This is an introductory course and students will learn about current trends in Japanese popular culture. We will examine Japanese popular culture, including its history, its artists, and its institutions. In addition, we will study how Japanese popular culture has influenced the gaming and music industries globally. This course is designed to be interactive so students are expected to participate fully in classroom activities and discussions.  
This class will be conducted in English, so students must have enough command of the English language to engage in class discussions.  All content in this class will also be conducted in English. However, we will be looking at fragments of Japanese manga, scenes from anime, game screens, etc. in English, and some knowledge of Japanese may help in understanding the content.    (If we view  films in languages other than English we will use English subtitles.)
*English language proficiency at Eiken pre-2 grade level or equivalent is desirable.
