In the West, Japanese culture comes in the form of Power Rangers, Godzilla movies, and Sanrio products, but of course the indigenous pop culture is much richer. Rather than focus on what the rest of the world has already encountered, Mark Schilling provides an encyclopedic compendium of books, movies, music, comedians, and cultural scandals that have had the greatest impact in Japan. Thus, for the outsider, The Encyclopedia of Japanese Pop Culture is an insider's guide to post-war Japan. Not content to simply catalog his entries, Schilling provides real depth and analysis in his articles, opening up Japan's rich pop heritage to the world at large.

Encyclopedia of Japanese Pop Culture
What I liked
-A decent book for Japan nerds
-Interesting factoids
-Covers the biggest stars and highlights of Japanese pop culture (of course, there are many not
mentioned for the sake of length. not to mention the book is old)
-Even though topics are arranged in alphabetical order, the book still follows a basic timeline
What I didn't like
-Writing was mostly coherent, but bland and repetitive
-Humor wasn't funny
-Needed a little more editing, especially for the last half
My favorite sections were the ones about the music industry. Oh, and of course anime :3
Recommended for
-otaku
-japanophiles
-people who want to find new old music and movies to enjoy
