Sleaze: “Mon Papa” by Kenichi Enomoto, Teiichi Futamura (1931)
Depressing: “Inverted Type” by Sympathy Nervous (1980)

Drama: Oshin (JP, 1983-1984)
Animation: Shaun the Sheep (UK, 2007-present)
Kids: ETV 0655&2355 (JP, 2010-present)
Special program: TV’s TV (JP, 1987)

Of these, the one I particularly recommend is “TV’s TV.”
This is a program in which 100 TV channels each contain small video content, which is randomly introduced within a single TV program, an idea that was around 20 years ahead of YouTube.

There’s also an anecdote that Satoshi Tajiri, who would later create Pokémon, was involved in the production of this program.

Johnny Kitagawa’s child sexual abuse was confirmed in a trial over gossip magazine reports.

Johnny & Associates, which continued to have him involved with minors for over 15 years, engaged in organized child sexual exploitation and should be defined as a mafia.

Therefore, all organizations that did business with the company, including ISPs, universities, UMG, and Nintendo, should be defined as affiliated with the mafia.

The only independent search engines that support my native Japanese are Google, Bing, Brave, and Yep.

Of these, I generally search using Brave, and if I’m not satisfied with the results, I search again using DuckDuckGo.
I don’t use Yep because of its strict bot restrictions.

Also, on the rare occasions when I need to do an exact match or a search using site:, for some reason, Brave and DuckDuckGo are useless, so I reluctantly use Google, which is a shame.
As someone living in Japan, I do not recommend QWant, which is recommended in this comment section.

As I’ve commented before, this is because the service geoblocks countries that have non-Western languages ​​as their official languages.

XユーザーのQwantさん: 「Some of you have reported difficulties using Qwant in several countries around the world. It is a difficult decision but we have decided to close access to our services in certain countries where we don’t believe to provide the expected quality of service. Our apologies for this.」 / X

The article introduced by OP overlooks a crucial fact regarding the description of the event held at Yasukuni Shrine.

According to an official statement from The Pokémon Company, the event in question was organized by “an individual certified for the Pokémon Trading Card Game,” and the company stated that this was mistakenly posted on its official website due to insufficient verification.

This was therefore a prank perpetrated by a malicious individual. It is incorrect to assume this event was officially organized by The Pokémon Company.

Currently, in Japan, it is a major issue that her party’s video has been viewed 160 million times on YouTube. Of course, the majority of those views are thought to have been for advertising purposes.

She is a far-right politician who advocates “countermeasures against foreigners,” but she paid a large sum of money to Google, a foreign tech giant, to win the election.

At the very least, online election advertising will likely be an issue for discussion in the upcoming Diet session.

Koichi Sugiyama: Tetris 2 + BomBliss (1991, FC)

I found a study that may be helpful.
The project is called the Chapel Hill Expert Survey, which is being conducted by Gary Marks of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and others, and asks political experts in each country to evaluate the policy positions of major political parties in EU member states.

This survey interprets the multidimensional political conflict as stated in the question, and in the latest survey (Version 2025.1), it is measured by the following conflict terms:

Thanks.

Thanks.

While I’m not in favor of boycotting culture, I do feel like boycotting products and services that incorporate it.

So I try to buy boycotted cultural products secondhand whenever possible.

This way, I can legally obtain culture, but it prevents American companies from making any additional profits. (Naturally, I avoid using Amazon[.]com when making these purchases.)

The problem then arises when an American artist performs in the country where I live.

Naturally, experiential entertainment cannot be recorded, meaning it cannot be purchased secondhand. This issue determines whether a boycott is feasible based on how individual artists respond to corruption in the United States.

Separately, I also try to avoid cultural dependency on social media platforms such as YouTube and x[.]com by prioritizing domestic alternatives (such as Nico Nico Douga and mixi2).

Japan: Sakura Sakura (Cherry blossoms)

In Japanese, the English phrase “12 years old” is written as ‘12歳’ or “12才”.

Both “歳” and ‘才’ are read as “sai,” and “歳” is the standard form.

As an exception, since children in elementary education typically learn the character “歳” before “才,” it is sometimes common to write ages as “12才” during the period after learning ‘才’ but before learning “歳.”
