Is it a game? It is a movie? Is it a cultural phenomenon? Whatever it is, it’s definitely a prime example of Japan Happened.Īs I understand it, Japan World Cup 3 is a browser game in which the player doesn’t play as the ‘horses’ (we’re stretching the definition of ‘horse’ a bit here) so much as they bet on the races and root for their chosen competitor. This week, everyone’s buzzing about Japan World Cup 3. If you’re unfamiliar with this sort of aesthetic, a quick glance at certain animes and Japanese game shows should be more than enough to fill you in.
