Coming Next from Japan

Organized by BEAJ and EOA

Content Showcases

From manga and anime to live-action drama, the surging demand for Japanese content signals a new era of cultural influence—one that is reshaping how stories are told, produced, and distributed across borders. Using recent international co-productions that have achieved success as case studies, this session explores how to maximize creative collaboration with Japan to deliver truly standout stories that resonate worldwide. It unpacks what makes these narratives both universal and distinctly Japanese, revealing why they feel fresh, authentic, and globally compelling.

Coming Next from Japan is organized by BEAJ (Broadcast Program Export Association of Japan) and EOA (Empire of Arkadia), and sponsored by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) of Japan.
