Yesterday, Japanese idol group Shiritsu Ebisu Chuugaku (Ebichu) held a surprise concert at the world's best-preserved ancient amphitheatre in Aspendos, Turkey. Ahead of the performance, the group handed out flyers to get people to attend the performance, which was in collaboration with the Antalya State Opera and Ballet Orchestra.








They even sang in Turkish

I'm not sure who initiated it, but the logos of Turkey Tourism and the Turkish Department of Culture and Tourism are on the flier.

So that means Turkey wanted to encourage Turkish to travel to Japan by introducing some J-Culture by any means necessary, that's nice! Tourism in Japan has been quite growing over the years, and Japan's government even promised it to double the tourist by 40 million ahead of 2020 Summer Olympics. But one thing is that Japan still faces issues of their attempt to promote their culture for the 2020 Olympics, Japan is driven by the demographic crunch, there are not enough construction workers to fill the gap, and the company sponsorship could go into bankrupt since there are not enough people to fill the vacant.

How this will affect for the 2020 Summer Olympics by interacting with foreigners would help overcome the racism they faced a long ago from its Sakoku period time.
