 * I want to expand on the importance of Youtube in the 2010-present section that discusses Gangnam Style's success globally

The creation of parodies helped with "Gangnam Style"'s rise to world popularity. YouTube, and other social media platforms were instrumental as it allowed parodies to be created that adapted to the locality. This worked because it allowed the consumer to also become the producer, unlike before where adaptations to the local or regional culture would cost the original producer money.

Doraemon may have been the foundation for Pokémon, one of Japan's most recognizable global brands. There are many parallels between the two ideas, mainly being that Doraemon and the Pokémon are both centered on a service plus friend relationship. The main difference however, is how it moves from a local setting in Doraemon to a more global one in Pokemon. In other words, Doraemon occurs in a local Japan setting and address real-life situations. It addresses the lacking that Japan had. While for Pokémon, it was a completely fantasy world, not tied to a real place in Japan, that helped it be more relatable on a global scale. Due to this difference, Pokémon took off globally instead of Doraemon, despite the similarities, as Pokémon was more relatable to foreigners.
