The Japanese music market is the second largest in the world, historically driven by J-Pop and a hyper-specific phenomenon known as "Idol Culture."

In the early 2000s, the Japanese government recognized the economic value of its cultural exports and launched the "Cool Japan" initiative. This state-sponsored strategy aimed to turn the country's soft power—its anime, food, games, and fashion—into economic growth and tourism.
