Japan Media Communication Center, Tokyo, Japan
Supplied note: "The JAMCO Online International Symposium is now under way on its website on "Japanese TV Dramas that Go Beyond 'Japan': Their Transnational Significance and Influence." How have those Japanese dramas been received overseas? What influence have they exerted in Asia and Pacific? What cultural interaction have they given rise to between Japan and the local societies? Four researchers present their papers and three experts will give their comments. We welcome your participation in the discussions. - yo."
