From manga and anime to 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 successful international co-productions 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.
