Nowadays, media frequently focuses on the expansion of poverty among youth in Japan. Usually the conclusion is that this happens because of the collapse of conventional bonds like with the family, local communities, etc. One of the solutions for this problem is to create an informal support association to substitute for conventional systems. This article's main focus is the practice of young people who are managing a "hip hop and street wear" shop at a provincial city. These persons create informal associations called "crew" based on their knowledge of the hip hop culture and by doing that they help each other. The members of the crews are united strongly in specific ways like tattoos. Besides crews, they create another community. Inside of this community, they visit their friend's shop and spend a lot of money. They usually do this practice mutually to circulate money. In previous studies like Hebdige (1979), they described youth subculture as resistance to the dominant culture. However, this paper will argue how some young people manage their life within society with using their subculture skill set.

The colonies of squatter settlements in Southeast Asia symbolize the nagging problem of poverty in these big cities. Countless researches have been undertaken on the subject, yet not much in the provincial towns where domicile exists in the form of "free rent (with owner's consent) settlement problem". This paper is a case study of how townspeople without a place to live survive, diskarte, utilizing the notion of pity, kalo-oy, in order to be given a land space to build their shacks in a town in Western Visayas, Philippines. The verbal contract between the supposed renter and the landowner in a dyadic relationship often times create anxiety on the part of the renter as the landowner might his/her mind and drive the renter anytime. This study hopes to clarify how local socio-economic differences are reproduced in the way landless townsmen survive to secure their living spaces.

It has been a long-established tradition to scatter soybeans in the bean-scattering ceremony on setsubun, the eve of the beginning of spring. However, recently in Hokkaido district, people use peanuts instead of soybeans in this ceremony. In order to investigate changes of manners and customs followed on setsubun, a survey was made throughout Japan by means of questionnaires. All of respondents in Hokkaido and about 80% in Tohoku district were shown to scatter peanuts. In other districts many respondents used soybeans and those who chose peanuts were minor. A change from soybeans to peanuts was estimated to occur earlier in Hokkaido than in Tohoku. Reasons of this change were discussed in connection with the characteristic style of indoor living in Hokkaido. A new trend was found to spread from Kinki to neighboring districts. On setsubun, many people there eat in silence futomaki whole, big vinegared rice rolled in dried laver, looking toward a lucky direction of the year and praying for good luck. The custom to eat as many beans as one's age on this day was shown to prevail throughout the country, but that to decorate fish heads on sprays to be less popular.

Graffiti as a youth subculture was born in 1970s in New York. Then it spread out all over the world in the 1980-1990s. These days, we can see graffiti all over the place. However, the purpose of graffiti is not well known. It's not because graffiti writers did not have the chance to talk about themselves, but because they had a hard time explaining what they were doing. In some recent studies, it is theorized that graffiti is a resistance to the society and a kind of 'vandalism'. This article examines previous studies in two ways. One is field work in Shimokitazawa. I walked around the town and recorded the places where graffiti were written. The other is investigation of a social networking site. There are a lot of descriptions related to graffiti on the web. By mixing these two ways of investigation, I could find a new side to the phenomenon. Finally, I conclude that the difficulties in describing 'graffiti' are caused by the structure of the values surrounding graffiti culture.

The suburbs of Tokyo had expanded especially after the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923. Accordingly, the shops had been developed with increasing population of the area, where consisted with shopping arcades. The householders of suburban families were generally salaried workers, and families were so-called "new middle-class" families. Suburban families often went to terminal cities at the center of city for job, shopping, and amusements in those days. But they bought daily foods or daily goods at shops in their living neighborhood as usual. So, the shopping arcades in the suburbs developed their scale bigger and bigger. Therefore, major capitals competed in the shopping arcades in the suburbs. In addition to that, distributor of the major companies, such as Shiseido, Morinaga, etc. opened their voluntary chain stores. Those shops were not chamber of makers, but managed by local merchants. In 1932, Takashimaya department store had started management of flat price shops. Everything in the shop were flatly priced lOsen or 20sen. The shops named "Takashimaya 10sen20sen stores" were well accepted by housewives of suburbia. They had created their life as clever consumers by choosing their possibility among many stores. So the development of suburbs was related to consumption in shopping arcades of suburbs.

There are three theme parks presenting the indigenous culture in Taiwan. Among them is Taiwan Indigenous Peoples Culture Park, which was established in 1976 and has been administrated by the Council of Indigenous Peoples, Executive Yuan since 2002. Analyzing the case of this park, this paper examines the functions of public theme parks and the represented ethnic groups in conservation of the indigenous culture and the development of tourism. The main findings from the analysis are: 1) intangible culture such as the lifestyle, custom, and art, as well as tangible culture, is represented in archives through symbolization, electronization and embedding staffs body, 2) the staff are required to be fully equipped with knowledge on the culture of the 14 tribes through training, 3) presenting the physical aspects of the indigenous culture through the 'participative attractions' such as 'ball spiking' and 'shooting', this park adapts the display method employed in 'ethnological exhibit' functions. These observations imply the role of public theme parks as a significant form of ethnic tourism in generating a new public image on 'unity' among indigenous ethnic groups and their 'integration' into the country.

This study employs a narrative approach to describe the perspective of Tanohata-mura. I change the approach from the "dominant story" to the "alternative story." Specifically, I employ quantitative text analysis to demonstrate the hypothesis. 1. I consider the perspective of Tanohata-mura as the hypothesis. 2. I set 29 cords to analyze interview contents. 3. I analyze 10305 sentences of the interview. 4. I consider the aforementioned 1-3 approaches as well as my experience and conclude that the hypothesis is partially modified. I indicate two values and four viewpoints as an overall perspective of Tanohata-mura. Furthermore, besides the change in approach from the "dominant story" to the "alternative story," it was observed that the approach has changed from the "nature of the severity" to the "nature of richness" and from the "poverty of the people" to the "kindness of the people."

This paper mainly handles the cases of traditional alcoholic beverage making in villages at east side of Bali. Making, circulation and drinking of these drinks are changing with the peoples living style. This research mainly aims to capture these changes with the social problems of today's Bali. Making of traditional drinking are now illegal. But this subsistence is important to the makers because, there is no other opportunity that they can take. Illegal drinks that are distilled in the villages at east side of Bali circulate to other places in the island, by using relative and local networks. Now this subsistence changed from what it used to be, and now it is able to get enough incomes from the increase of demands. A maker who uses modern style of machines to distill spirit and earn much income as they can under the strategy is less. Most makers distill spirit by cheep traditional equipment under the tactics that has limited incomes. In Bali Social changes are rapidly, so many makers take the tactics that are able to adopt changes quickly. This style of makers shows the flexibility of subsistence in the villages, and this also means the problems of tourism development, agriculture and also education.
