AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Japan Tech & Games: A JOGA/Kadokawa ASCII Labs poll says 100% of Japanese online game developers are using generative AI, mostly for “user preference analysis” and “user behavior prediction,” not for creative assets. Global J-Pop Branding: Handcraft Entertainment teams with Japan’s Takasago to build the “smell, taste, and feel” of “Global” J-Pop via artist-linked fragrances, flavors, and consumer products. Manga & Fandom: Weekly Shonen Jump issue 33 reportedly sold out in Japan after scalpers targeted a One Piece TCG 29th-anniversary promo card. Anime/Film Release: Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s Cannes winner “All of a Sudden” gets a Nov. 25 awards-season theatrical release from Neon. Video Games (Japan tie-in): “Once Upon A Katamari” lands on Nintendo Switch 2 on Oct. 8, with a new multiplayer mode and “Rolling LIVE Highlights” DLC. Fashion: Margaret Howell reworks Dr Martens’ 1461 shoe for her MHL line, leaning into durable, timeless workwear style. Art & Culture: Frieze Seoul 2026 spotlights “Visions of the Future,” with artists using alternative-universe ideas to process real-world crisis.
