What US products are popular in Japan among high schoolers? -

I need to send gifts for a high school class in Japan. What foods/snacks, brands, products do you think they would appreciate or would be curious about? Holiday items included. Thanks!

There s a wide variety of things, it depends what you re looking for: 1. Food/Drinks: many kinds of soda are very popular, as well as junk food. Japanese has McDonald s, Pizza Hut, Domino s, KFC and Subway, more recently Baskin Robbins and Burger King as well, but pretty much any other kind of junk food, ESPECIALLY cookies (oreos, chips ahoy) or candy bars (twix, 3 musketeers) would probably be appreciated. 2. Music: Rock is not that popular. Nowadays dance music, hip hop and pop are the way to go. And not adult contemporary, like Celine Dion, but more girly, like Mika or Justin Timberlake. 3. Movies: Anything, but you can find most mainstream movies in Japan already, so this wouldn t be too helpful. However, merchandise, like posters, photos or calenders might be nice. 4. TV: 24, Lost, Heroes and Prison Break are HUGE here. Similarly, the shows themselves are easy to acquire, but merchandise would be hard to come by. 5. Other: Disney is MASSIVE, especially with girls. Anything and i mean ANYTHING Disney related would be loved. Snoopy is also pretty big. 6. Clothing: Again, anything from mainstream brands (such as Calvin Klein or Gap or Abercrombie amp; Fitch) would be appreciated. Sports brands, such as Nike or Adidas, are also big.

Anything Rock and Roll.
