JAPOP! (Japan+Pop=Japop) is a 4-volume documentary exploring culture and sub-culture in contemporary Japan, examining 4 key themes: 

ROBOTISM: the all-Japanese passion for robots, from fictional (manga, anime) to real ones.
COSPLAY: the realm of role-play, from real cosplayers to ganguros via crossplay.
DEMOLITION: destroying to rebuild like Godzilla, but also destroying to break new ground, like Tetsuo or noise music.
LOVE: sex, love and perversion, i.e. hentai, from comics to real life.
