In this episode of Japan 2.0 David and Matt examine their hearts and rack their brains to answer the question, is Japan still cool? They discus the government’s Cool Japan initiative, think about when Japan was at its coolest, and debate what aspects of pop culture are going strong and which are on the decline.
