So, in case you are unfamiliar with #ShibuyaKei, it was a prominent outgrowth of late 1980s-early 1990s Japanese alt/underground pop music. Perhaps no band is associated with the genre more visibly than #PizzicatoFive, of which I am (of course) a huge fan, and they were certainly the band from the scene that had the most global impact. Nomiya Maki-chan is my #oshi.

Japan’s "oshikatsu" culture is booming despite inflation, with fans spending heavily on idols and characters in a way that now drives a multitrillion-yen market and even draws the attention of the central bank. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/12/02/japans-inflation-proof-economy/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #boj #inflation #japaneseeconomy #anime #manga #teenagegirls #akb48 #shoheiohtani #oshikatsu #stan #oshi

Japan’s inflation-proof ‘stan' economy is booming

About 10% of the Japanese population engages in 'oshikatsu' — but importantly, more than 50% are those crucial arbiters of cool: teenage girls.
