Abstract:

"Enthusiasm for pop music is great among Japan's teenagers who buy books diagramming every single move and gesture performed by their singing idols. Pop stardom is a teen dream in Japan. Many are auditioned--few are chosen. Economic prosperity has given Japan's teens money to spend and created a booming business for popular music. It may be a sign of Westernization--but it's still uniquely Japanese." (Produced by TeleJapan USA and WNET, NY)
