Netflix now has 10 million subscribers in Japan, according to the streaming company.

It got to that number during the first half of 2024, so it may be even higher by now — and it's double the number of subscribers Netflix had in the country four years ago.

It's believed that new Japanese shows on the platform — including Tokyo Swindlers, The Queen of Villains and The Boyfriend — have helped the streaming service get more subscribers.

"Japan in particular is a country which wants to see a lot of its own content so we strongly feel the need to produce it," said Kaata Sakamoto, Netflix's vice president of content for Japan.

He added that the company wants to produce more content that will be popular with people in Japan, including more sports and comedy shows.

Subscribers around the world have also been enjoying Japanese content on the platform. It's the third-most-watched non-English-language content on Netflix, after Korean and Spanish. And Japanese anime shows and movies have been watched more than 1 billion times on Netflix in the last year.

Sakamoto said there are plans to make more anime for the platform, but he wants to find "stories that have never been told before."

Netflix first came to Japan in 2015. In 2023, it was the most popular streaming service in the country, with about 22% of the market share.

Around the world, Netflix has more than 280 million subscribers.

我的爱情故事 

10年前，我和男朋友认识了。我们是高中同学，他坐在我的后面，学习上我总是班上的第一名，而他是男生里面的第一名。他不仅长得高高的，而且脾气很好。开始的时候，我对他的印象不太好，我觉得他的性格有点像女生，太温柔了。高中毕业后，我们去了一样的大学，彼此越来越熟悉。我们常常一起坐车去学校，再坐车回家。慢慢地，我发现，他很浪漫，性格也不错，尽管认识很多女生，但他们只是普通朋友。朋友总是开我们的玩笑，说我们看起来像男女朋友，然后，我们在一起了。

后来，我考上了成都的硕士研究生，他担心我一个人会害怕。所以，他毕业以后，立刻坐18个小时的火车去了成都。在那儿，他住着一个月600块的又小又黑的房子。慢慢地，他也从一个普通的员工成长为一个领导。生活在变好，我们的爱情也在成熟。
三年前，我研究生毕业了，工作一段时间后，我们终于结婚了，现在我们有一个可爱的宝宝。我仍然不会用手机地图，出门也常常会迷路，一个人也害怕去不熟悉的地方。可是，没关系，我有全世界最好的男生，他会一直陪着我。

HSK4 - 我的爱情故事

Nunca es tarde si la dicha es buena, es un refrán que indica que la aventura es siempre bien recibida, que nunca es tarde para llevar a cabo algo útil y beneficioso y que cualquier momento es bueno para emprender aquello que haya de reportarnos algún placer o mejora.  

El paso del tiempo no debe ser obstáculo para realizar aquello que deseamos. No hemos de sentirnos viejos/as ni desechar nuestros afanes por considerar que ya no tenemos edad, porque la alternativa, no hacer nada, es la menos deseable de todas. 

NUNCA SERÁ TARDE PARA EMPEZAR EN ESPAÑOL.
Más vale tarde que nunca.
