Asian Gift Idea : How About JPop Culture Goods?

posted by admin
Asian Gift Idea: How About JPop Goods?
   Just recently the first JPop Center, NEW PEOPLE was opened in a heart of Japan town, San Francisco.
As a Japanese myself who grew up listening JPop music, reading Manga, watching Japanese Animation, I have to introduce it here.
 
NEW PEOPLE is a 20,000 square foot, striking, contemporary building where people can enjoy Japanese Pop cultures such as JPop music, manga, anime, cinema, fashion and goods..etc… If you are a fan of Harajuku girls, Otaku culture, Kawaii goods, Japanese animations, etc, probably this is the must-go-place for you.
 
Here is some excerpt from MTVIGGY.COM
NEW PEOPLE is a 20,000 square foot contemporary building located at 1746 Post Street in the city’s Japantown (one of only three remaining in the country), an area steeped in more than a century of history. The structure features a striking 3-floor transparent glass façade that invokes a fun and exotic new environment to engage the imagination for the 21st Century. With three stories above and a basement cinema below, NEW PEOPLE will offer the latest films, art, and retail brands from Japan.
“NEW PEOPLE is a truly unique space devoted to creativity and self expression, and will become a cultural destination unlike any other in the United States,” says Seiji Horibuchi, the founder and CEO of VIZ Pictures and the founder of VIZ Media as well as the J-pop Center Project. “NEW PEOPLE will help nurture Japanese pop culture and also connect the public with its diverse creators.
 
Sounds very exciting, isn’t it? According to the news that I saw, so far the total sales of JPop culture goods in the US has gone up to $3,750,000,000.00 and they are expecting about $300,000,00 monthly sales from NEW PEOPLE. As I watched the news, I was amazed to see the customers (American, of course) who dress like Harajuku girls, or Japanese Maids, or some Anime characters getting so excited to be able to shop around Authentic Japanese fasion wears there.
