Every nation has its contributions to the world, so what are they? In order of ranking there are instant noodles, karaoke, and the Walkman, which I'll describe below.

First: instant noodles

According to a poll conducted by the Fuji Research Institute, a private organization in Japan, the Japanese people are most proud of "Made in Japan". ***Made in Japan*** product is the instant noodles that were first introduced by Nissin Foods in 1958. Nowadays, instant noodles have become an international food from a national favorite in Japan, and the annual global consumption of instant noodles is as high as 43.7 billion packages.

According to the Mainichi Shimbun, Yomiuri Shimbun, and other reports, the Fuji Research Institute surveyed 2,000 people in the Tokyo area*** men and women of both sexes*** aged 20 and older, and asked them to rate their opinions on "things", "culture", "technology", and so on, The Fuji Research Institute voted for Japanese products that would make the international community applaud in three categories: "things", "culture", and "technology". As a result, instant noodles won 692 votes and took the top spot.

After the world's first packet of instant noodles was born in 958, the first bowl of cup noodles followed in 1971. According to statistics, the initial introduction of instant noodles sold 13 million packets a year. And by 1999, the world ate more than 43.7 billion packets of instant noodles a year, that is to say the average person at least 7 packets of instant noodles in a year. Fuji Research Institute analysis pointed out that instant noodles can already be fully included in the ranks of international food.

Second: Karaoke

The second invention that the Japanese feel good enough to boast to the world is the "Karaoke "***Karaoke***, which has become a common word around the world, and was introduced in 1971. Karaoke*** was introduced in 1971, which means "absent band". It shows pre-recorded audio material on karaoke devices, TVs, and computer screens, and people can enjoy the images while singing along with the music and subtitles.

Third: The Walkman

The third invention was a unique product of Sony Japan in 1979 - the Walkman. A mobile stereo cassette personal player, Sony invented the Walkman in 1979, perhaps based on a prototype by German-Brazilian inventor Andreas Pavel, and it became the first Walkman on the market. It changed our music listening habits into anytime, anywhere, on the go, through a pair of headphones, alone. From then on you could self-match the right rhymes on your long lonely runs, and you could go to the ends of the earth to listen to the anthems of the mountain and the sea. It's like the iPod now, but it was 30 years ago. In the 1980s, the Walkman symbolized youth, freedom, energy, individuality, leisure, and a fashion accessory. Back then, on the eve of its launch, Sony's vice-chairman wanted to change the name Walkman because the word was grammatically incorrect, but it was too late, and it turned out to be a big hit. Later, other companies launched Walkmans, which we used to collectively call Walkman. then in 1984, Sony launched the first mobile CD player on the market: the Discman.

About the other creations:

The ranking of the products after the first 3 is, in order, the home consoles, the CD-ROMs, cameras, and other Japanese-made industrial products. In addition, the late great director Akira Kurosawa was ranked as the 7th most proud Japanese person because of the strong support he received from senior respondents.

Japanese automobiles, which swept the global market in the second half of this century, did not make the list because they were not first invented by the Japanese. However, the Japanese considered their "automotive technology" worthy of boasting to the world, and ranked it ninth

Worth mentioning:

If there's one thing the Japanese are ahead of the curve in terms of culture, it's manga, anime, and video games. It would definitely be manga, anime. I'm afraid no one knows that Japanese anime is popular all over the world. The enthusiasts are also a super large group. Japan's movie industry is pretty low, and the few TV shows with higher ratings are manga adaptations. Japan may not have many actor-stars that can rank in the world. But Japanese voice actors are tough. There are hardly any voice actors from any other country that can do it.
