Japanese pop culture penetration in Indonesia, become lifestyles for many teenagers here. The fanatic fans of Japanese culture which are very dedicated to their Japanese related hobby, such as manga, anime or video games, is growing rapidly in numbers recently. They continually build a lot of communities that share the same interest of Japanese culture; therefore it is increasing interest of Japanese language as well. The purpose of this research is to study about how “Musou Roman” game can help Japan culture enthusiasts to learn the most complicated Japanese letters, kanji, beside katakana and hiragana letters through gamification. This paper examines the benefit of an RPG (Role-Playing Game) to learn other language and their complicated letters, in this case Japanese kanji. Suggestions for research are made, with particular reference to how gamification, can bridge learning outcomes as well as gameplay experience. This paper will contribute as potential solution to demystification in learning Japanese Kanji.

`Spectacles` and `factuality` provided by computer technology are strengths of CG animation to still lure the audience and after commercial success of a number of theatrical CG animations whose typical producing companies are PIXAR and DreamWorks, were produced to be commercially successful and they win massive popularity even now. In Korea as well, several works tried to achieve a box office success including , , etc. but the result was truly miserable. In the past, this failure was often attributed to a lack of `technical expertise`, but it became clear that in the process of continuous trial and error, `narrative` and `images of imagination` which are bases and characteristics of animation are key elements of commercial success. Actually, statistics indicate that narrative is what is considered to be the most important by the audience when they select animation and its importance is so absolute that they say the most significant thing in animation is `story.` In particular, it can be said that `characters`, `situations`, and `ideas` play a key role in them which become elements of the story. This paper studied with what characteristics each animation aroused pleasure and fun focused on characters, situations and images in relation to , , and which are American theatrical CG animation films which succeeded in gaining popularity home and abroad. We hope that analysis in this paper will be helpful even just a little bit as a reference material, which allows domestic writers and producers to develop familiar and characteristic works based on imagination and creativity expressing each work`s unique personality and characteristics.

The animation industry, a creative industry, known as the most development potential sunrise industry in the 21st century, will become the new economic growth point. It is confidential relation between industry and education in case of personnel supply and demand. The assessment modality, which is one of the principal means of testing the quality and primary of teaching, in the culture of animation talent is discussed in this paper. By analyzing the situation of course examination, the new ideas of assessment modality are proposed as follows: creating design capability as a precondition, it enables students to meet the needs of society for the purpose of sustainable development. Through the adoption of flexible assessment system, it cancels that paper is everything. Based on the quality of classroom tasks, assessment model in the process evaluation is paid attention to emphasize to better achieve the objectives of personnel training.

Sound effect is the important part of fantastical scene in ANIME, especially for girls ANIME. However the sound design method is still closed and not enough researched. Moreover, the recent digital sound design tools become to make 'American taste' sounds, not to fit for ANIME sound. In this paper, we propose the sound design testing tools in procedural way. The tool is built with associated by a Unity and Supercollider with UnityOSC. It enables to make and confirm the sounds for Magical Girl ANIME image elements interactively.

International audience; In order to understand how transnational exchanges have evolved and how a home video market has been organized in France, this paper tries to trace a history of the beginnings of the VHS industry from the late 1970s to the early 2000s. We will focus on three phases of market development to show how pricing strategy and short-term development prospects damage the image of the product and perceived quality of Japanese cartoons. After a first period, in which anime seem to be treated as non-significant cultural by-products, during the second phase of growing the market is intensified by the activity of amateurs through the creation of distribution networks. They tried to change the image of the product using different methods of legitimation. But in the third era, the rapid collapse of the market is favour by overproduction and the technological transition from the VHS to DVD, and because of the dumping of prices, the cartoon is once again considered a cheap product.

This work shows the results of monitoring of Santa Maria del Suffragio (Anime Sante) church, L’Aquila, Italy. The historical building was stricken and damaged by mainshock of April 6, 2009; the dome is the structural element that has been seriously hit by seismic event. The ambient response analysis of global structure and dome element enable to improve the FE model by model updating methodology using modal data. The identification techniques furnish useful information concerning the structural and mechanical properties of dome’s structure, these parameters are needed to evaluate the appropriate design of rebuilding and structural rehabilitation of dome. The geometric configuration and the self-weight of lantern induce to an independent dynamic response of macro-element against the behaviour of dome generating the first mechanism of collapse and the failure of dome shape. Different retrofitting configurations for the dome have been proposed in this paper.

In recent years, strategy studies on how Chinese animation industry can enter the international market have increased gradually. But these studies mainly focus on conventional trade patterns of service trade, particularly many are about macro strategies, and few are involved in specific operation modes. With the consideration of the cultural features of anime products and under the analysis of public libraries' function on cultural transmission, this paper discusses the approach of using the construction of Chinese animation libraries in different overseas areas to implement marketing communication of Chinese animation images, to expand consumer groups, to gain audience information and to explore international market. Then, it presents specific strategic initiatives, hoping to provide some new ideas for the internationalization strategies of Chinese animation industry.

Part 1: Production Process; International audience; This paper presents a game theoretic analysis of production structures including several stakeholders in the Japanese animation market and its related goods markets. We construct a decision-making model of the industry including players of four kinds: an animation studio, a broadcasting company, a related products manufacturer, and consumers. Additionally, we model two production structures: the conventional system and the production committee system. By analyzing the equilibrium states of this model, we conclude theoretically that the animation studio raises the effort level with decreasing marginal costs of related products and/or with increasing network externality effect and increasing royalties the studio receives. For the total profit and the effort level, we found that the production committee system is better than the conventional system.
