Asian Popular Culture

This book provides a readable, in-depth understanding of the spectrum of Asian popular culture including popular music, pornography, toys, comic art, cartooning, humor, film, television, advertising, gossip, language, and public transportation, from Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, India, Pakistan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, Thailand, the Philippines, and Sri Lanka.
