Japan: Tv Show and Nippon

japan: If he pointed out on a TV show that in the U.S. there are also four distinct seasons, he's sure the comment would be edited out of the program, according to The Japan Times. Japanese uniqueness is often the stuff of jokes among non-Japanese, but it has been commodified by the media. The example he gave was Japan being the only country with four distinct seasons. Now, the government is boarding the Nippon Sugoi! Japan is amazing! bandwagon, which was launched by TV shows that solicit non-Japanese to point out all the wonderful things about Japan. So far, so good, but eventually the authors get specific, and matters become increasingly weird. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry METI has published a pamphlet titled, Wonder Nippon Sekai ga Odoroku Nippon! The Japan That Surprises the World . Printed in bilingual format, the pamphlet asserts that with the approach of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics the world has become interested in what makes Japan special, in particular the sensitivities and values that form the foundation of the Japanese spirit.
