Tokyo drifters: The negotiation and regulation of generational precarity in TERRACE HOUSE

Authors :

Abstract

As reality television has shifted steadily in the direction of scandal, drama, and high-stakes emotionality, the Japanese reality series TERRACE HOUSE is notable precisely because of the ordinariness of its content; hinging on the observation of young working individuals as they live together and get to know one another. This article aims to explore the significance of this series, particularly in terms of the growing precarity of younger generations in Japan, demonstrating how TERRACE HOUSE cultivates a neoliberal subjecthood whose aim is to master the art of precarious living – both for the sake of the individual and the nation.
