I don't understand

[edit]

I don't really understand what makes this term derogatory. Mihovil 00:29, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Inter-wiki

[edit]

"Japanification" is 日本化 in Japanese. Heroeswithmetaphors (talk) 07:27, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Change the title

[edit]

Japanification 日本化 is an inaccurate title. 哈日族 refers to Japanophiles, mainly Taiwanese, who have a good understanding of Japan. Many of them have travel experience. The Lost decade is not relevant here. Why not use Hārìzú? --Shinkansen Fan (talk) 13:16, 19 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Page describes wrong subject

[edit]

In reliable sources, "Japanification" almost always refers to a country's economy becoming more like Japan's, which has been characterized by low/negative inflation and low economic growth. Just do a simple Google search, and you will get results like:

By contrast, not a single result will yield anything resembling "the process of becoming or wishing to become a member of Japanese society", as this page defines it. In fact, not a single references listed on this page describes Japanification as anything like the definition provided! Only one reference (a journal on children's literature) even uses the term "Japanification", and it uses it to describe how American children's literature is becoming more Japanese in style. It is quite clear that this page should instead describe Japanification in the economic sense, as this is how it is used in reliable sources (furthermore, the usage to describe children's literature should be excluded for being WP:Undue). I will write up a new page for this, but it may take some time. Jaydavidmartin (talk) 05:14, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I renamed the article with a disambiguator. I hope that somebody can write an article for "Japanification (economic)" now Slauhale (talk) 14:32, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
