In the post-war period, Japan experienced a rapid growth in its entertainment industry, driven by the rise of television, film, and music. The 1960s and 1970s saw the emergence of popular music genres, such as J-pop and enka, which became staples of Japanese entertainment. The 1980s and 1990s witnessed the rise of Japanese video games, anime (animated television shows and films), and manga (comics), which have since become major exports of the country's entertainment industry.
