Sorry for the wait, delivering!
I recently moved, so most of my books are still in boxes. However, I've already unboxed the best ones, so I'll list them here (note that most of them are not written by anthropologists per se, but are good books nonetheless):
OK, I'll stop here. If you want more recommendations (specially stuff on other languages, like Portuguese, French or Japanese, that I didn't bother listing here), feel free to PM me ;)
It's uncertain to say for these kids, but the Japanese idol culture is based on extreme capitalism, japanese conservatism and involves many svengalis. Hence I'm afraid it might be so, but I can't tell for sure. I do know that the business practices behind the facade tends to be quite pathetic or unethical (in my opinion).
This book has been written by (foreign) scientists who live in Japan and have researched the culture. It's an interesting read to say the least. You can find it elsewhere as well.
