How Japan's Pop Culture Conquered the World with Matt Alt
Everyone perceives Japan in their own unique way. Everyone ‘invents’ their own Japan as Oscar Wilde said in his essay ‘The Decay of Lying’.
In this episode Matt Alt - the author of a brilliant book ‘Pure Invention: How Japan’s Pop Culture Conquered the World’ - tells the story behind the unique products such as anime, manga, video games or karaoke.
Matt lives in Tokyo since 2003 and runs a localization company with his wife Hiroko Yoda, which produces the English-language versions of popular Japanese video games, comic books, and other forms of entertainment.
