This research focused on the image of Islam constructed by Japanese mass media and its impacts on Muslim community's integration into the Japanese society in recent years. I tried to look into the negative image of Islam 'constructed' by Japan's mass media, and its impact on the Muslims (mostly foreigners) residing in Japan, either as a worker or as spouse of a Japanese national. I have conducted in-depth interviews with 5 muslims (4 foreigners and 1 native muslims) residing in Kobe, Kyoto, and Tokyo. Their stories then compared with articles on muslim and Islam published in Japan's mass media, as well as books and academic journals on similar topics. This research used multiculturalism and mass media social construction as analyzing tools. Interview started from April 18th until May 7th 2018, by using e-mails and LINE aplication. Through analysis, I have come to a conclusion that through learning and befriending the muslims, some Japanese are in fact turned from previously scared of the muslims into helping and even supporting them. Moreover, in preparation for the coming Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020, the government is taking initiatives to create social condition and atmosphere which is more friendly toward foreigners, including muslim foreigners."

"Penelitian ini membahas mengenai keterkaitan perubahan kondisi perempuan dan kemunculan tren dalam industri musik populer Jepang. Berdasarkan data dari buku tahunan Recording Industry Association of Japan tahun 2018, terlihat bahwa ada perubahan tren dalam industri musik populer Jepang pasca tahun 2000. Dalam data tersebut tercantum bahwa grup idola yang beranggotakan beberapa laki-laki mendapatkan posisi sebagai artis terbaik selama beberapa tahun berturut-turut, seperti Exile dan Arashi. Karena Exile dan Arashi adalah boygroup, dapat dikatakan bahwa sebagian besar penggemar mereka berasal dari kaum perempuan. Jika para perempuan tersebut dapat mengonsumsi idola mereka, berarti mereka memiliki kemampuan finansial secara independen. Pertama, penelitian ini akan melihat bagaimana perubahan tingkat pendidikan perempuan berpengaruh terhadap pekerjaan mereka sehingga mereka memiliki kemampuan finansial. Selanjutnya, akan diberikan gambaran mengenai kondisi industri musik tren dalam industri musik populer Jepang dari tahun 1980-an hingga 1990-an.

This study discusses the correlation of the increasing of women 39 s purchasing power and the emergence of new trends in Japan 39s popular music industry in the last 2 decades. Data from the yearbook of Recording Industry Association of Japan in 2018 shows that there is a change of trend in Japan 39 s popular music industry after the year 2000. The data stated that the group of idols consisting of several men the so call lsquo boy bands, such as Exile and Arashi, achieve the position as the best artist for several consecutive years. I argue that since Exile and Arashi are boygroups, their fans are mostly women. That these women are able to consume rsquo their idol, indicates that they are indeed financially well off. Why I assume that their opportunities for higher educations during the 1980s, combined with high employment rate, have enpowered them financially as well as socially. Furthermore, I will show an overview of the trends of the music industry in the Japanese popular music industry from the 1980s to the 1990s.

Bentuk nilai dan hubungan peran anggota keluarga ini diketahui melalui identifikasi sikap, perilaku, peran, dan permasalahan yang terjadi dalam keluarga. Penelitian ini bersifat kualitatif dan menggunakan konsep keluarga oleh Goode dan konsep AGIL oleh Parsons dalam menganalisis data. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa bentuk nilai keluarga yang terdapat di dalam film tidak sama dengan yang tercermin dalam drama televisi. Selain itu, hubungan peran antar anggota keluarga yang tercermin dalam drama televisi tidak berjalan baik bila dibandingkan dengan hubungan peran yang tercermin dalam film. Hal ini disebabkan karena adanya sifat egois dari masing-masing anggota keluarga.

"Asadora (drama pagi) merupakan produksi tahunan stasiun televisi publik Jepang, NHK. Asadora memiliki beberapa karakteristik, yaitu cerita bersudut pandang perempuan dan penggunaan daerah lokal tertentu sebagai latar. Hal ini tercermin dalam pola naratif jōkyō yang menceritakan perjalanan tokoh asadora heroine dari lingkungan rural kampung halamannya ke kota urban, Tokyo. Strategi bercerita ini dianggap sebagai sebuah usaha untuk memaknai kembali ideologi furusato yang ada dalam masyarakat Jepang. Untuk memahami fenomena ini secara komprehensif, analisis tekstual dan analisis wacana akan dilakukan terhadap dua judul asadora, yaitu Hiyokko (2017) dan Ama-chan (2013), dengan merujuk kepada konsep hubungan rural-urban, konsep furusato, dan konsep ideologi sebagai sistem makna. Temuan dari analisis terhadap kedua asadora tersebut menunjukkan bahwa NHK memanfaatkan asadora dan karakteristik khususnya untuk membangun ideologi furusato, sehingga makna furusato dalam masyarakat Jepang masa kini telah berkembang dan menjadi lebih kompleks.

Asadora (morning drama) is an annual production from Japan's public broadcaster, NHK. Asadora has several characteristics: female-centered stories and the use of local areas as the story background. This is reflected on the narrative pattern jōkyō, which shows the journey of the asadora heroine moving from her rural hometown to the urban capital city of Tokyo. This storytelling strategy can be considered as an attempt to reconstruct meanings of the furusato ideology that can be found within Japanese society. To understand this phenomenon comprehensively, textual analysis and discourse analysis are employed to analyze two asadora: Hiyokko (2017) and Ama-chan (2013), by referencing several concepts, such as rural-urban relationship, furusato, and ideology as a meaning system. The findings from the analysis show that NHK utilizes asadora and its special characteristics to reconstruct the furusato ideology, so that the meaning of furusato in Japanese society today has developed and become more complex."

Latar belakang kehidupan terlahir pada keluarga, dimana ayahnya seorang pendeta dan ibu seorang pendidik turut berperan membentuk karakter humanis seorang Miura. Dia dapat menjalankan peran sebagai warga negara yang harus taat pada perintah untuk membantu kesuksesan pendudukan Jepang di Bali, disisi lain dia memberi 'sentuhan' nilai humanis persuasif pada kebijakan militeristik yang dijalankan pemerintah pendudukan Jepang. Dengan demikian dia dapat diterima dan pendapatnya diamini oleh rakyat Bali. Akhir kisah hidup Miura menunjukkan bahwa kemerdekaan Indonesia bukan 'hadiah' dari Jepang.

"Pasca Perang Dunia II, Jepang maju pesat sebagai negara industri maju. Sektor manufaktur Jepang, termasuk industri otomotif berkembang pesat. Namun, laju industrialisasi menyebabkan perpindahan penduduk usia produktif dari desa ke kota dan dari sektor pertanian ke sektor industri. Akibatnya, sektor pertanian hanya ditangani oleh tenaga kerja usia lanjut. Di samping itu, nilai tambah yang rendah juga menyebabkan sektor pertanian kurang diminati oleh generasi muda angkatan kerja. Akibatnya, pertanian menjadi sektor yang tidak kompetitif di Jepang. Sejak era pertumbuhan ekonomi tinggi, pemerintah Jepang menjalankan kebijakan proteksi dengan memberi subsidi kepada pelaku sektor pertanian. Memasuki abad ke-21, globalisasi dan liberalisasi perdagangan menjadi agenda utama dunia, termasuk Jepang. Untuk mengantisipasi impor produk pertanian yang lebih murah, pemerintah Jepang harus menjalankan kebijakan untuk tidak hanya melindungi, tetapi juga membantu meningkatkan daya saing sektor pertanian. Setelah menjabat sebagai perdana menteri pada Desember 2012, PM Shinzo Abe mengeluarkan paket kebijakan ekonomi salah satunya untuk sektor pertanian. Selain itu, pada Mei 2013 PM Shinzo Abe memutuskan bahwa Jepang akan berpartisipasi dalam perundingan Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). Di saat yang bersamaan, PM Abe mendorong implementasi beberapa kebijakan untuk meningkatkan daya saing sektor pertanian Jepang.

In post World War II era, Japan has transformed itself into a leading industrial nation. Manufacturing industries, including automotive industry, has become a leading industry for Japan. However, rapid industrialization caused the urbanization and the migration of working forces from rural to urban area. Consequently, agricultural sector was left to the elderly worker. Meanwhile, the value added of the agricultural products are much lower, causing it less and less attractive to the younger generation. As a result, agricultural sector became less competitive. Since the era of high economic growth, the Japanese government has been taking a number of protective policies, including heavy subsidies, to protect the farmers. However, in the 21st century, globalization and trade liberalization has become the rule of the day, and Japan must also join itu. In order to anticipate the influx of low price agricultural product imports, the Japanese government had to implement policies not only to protect, but also to empower the farmers, and to make agricultural sector in Japan more competitive. In December 2012, prime minister Abe Shinzo came to power, and immediately after, he announced a number of economic policies, including policies to boost the growth of agricultural sector. In May 2013, PM Abe announced that Japan will join the negotiation of Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). At the same time, PM Abe had push the implementation of a number of policies to boost agricultural sector in Japan."
