Introducing “Recultured,” a new podcast miniseries from The Japan Times that looks back at the year in Japanese pop culture, and how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted and ultimately changed it. The country entered 2020 with Olympic glory on its mind, and the entertainment industry hoped to get in on it too. But COVID-19 derailed those dreams, forcing people across the nation to isolate at home. Pop culture pivoted to this stay-at-home reality, and continued to adjust as the country tried to find a “new normal.” As the year ended, anime offered a glimmer of hope, while pop culture at large emerged in new, outward looking forms. Listen now on all major podcasting platforms by searching Deep Dive from The Japan Times. Link in bio.
