Hate posts like this. The average Japanese salary is about half that of an American salary. The economy is completely crushing people right now. The Japanese company is not going to price their game to regionally match with the USD. 5500 yen is not 30 dollars. It’s 5500 yen.



Japan may already be entering a quiet version of a reverse Plaza Accord. Markets still treat yen weakness as temporary, but the broader policy direction suggests something deeper may be happening. A weaker yen boosts manufacturing competitiveness, supports domestic investment, and strengthens the push toward industrial rebuilding. What looks chaotic on the surface may actually be tolerated far more than many expect. That changes the inflation conversation completely. Japan spent decades trapped in deflation, so many still instinctively view rising prices as purely negative. But once inflation becomes embedded, companies regain pricing power, wages begin adjusting, and asset prices start behaving very differently from the lost decades. The real risk is not moderate inflation. The real risk is underestimating how different the next ten years could look compared with the last thirty.

The Golden age of Korean pop and Dramas is pretty much ending in most of Southeast Asia. I don’t think this is because Korean products have gotten weaker though, I think it’s because of a process I’ll call Netflixzation. Netflix kind of diffused the best filmmaking practices and concepts from America globally in a rush of tens of billions of dollars, this means a lot of local film industries that would have been slower to develop, got a huge jolt all at once, and local audiences grew more comfortable consuming their own local products. The same has happened via pop music where a lot of the best learnings around music production + factory systems easily flowed into Southeast Asia as well. There are just far more excellent cultural products emerging all through Asia, and as a result there’s greater fragmentation into local scenes. This will likely happen within Africa in a decade too as it gets richer, Nollywood and Nigerian dominated Afrobeats won’t reign forever.
