From Haruki's wildly successful entry in to film production to the turn towards marketing idols and his spectacular self-promotion\, Kadokawa films created the template for the postmodern\, anything-goes Japanese pop culture of the 1980s. Later\, his brother Tsug uhiko radicalized the media mix model by changing the very way media is co nsumed. In this free talk\, series curator&nbsp\;<strong>Alexander Zahlten </strong>&nbsp\;introduces some key moments in Kadokawa's shaping of Japan ese popular culture from the 1970s to today.&nbsp\;\n<em>Approx. 60 min.
