As of October 2024, Los Angeles had the highest number of Japanese residents among cities outside Japan, with approximately ****** residents. In the same year, the United States remained by far the country with the largest Japanese population outside Japan.

This statistics shows the leading metropolitan areas in the United States in 2023 with the highest percentage of Asian population. Among the 81 largest metropolitan areas, Urban Honolulu, Hawaii was ranked first with **** percent of residents reporting as Asian in 2023.

The highest city in the world with a population of more than one million is La Paz. The Capital of Bolivia sits ***** meters above sea level, and is more than 1,000 meters higher than the second-ranked city, Quito. La Paz is also higher than Mt. Fuji in Japan, which has a height of 3,776 meters. Many of the world's largest cities are located in South America.

Tokyo was the city with the most Michelin-starred restaurants in the world as of February 2024, with 194 of the Japanese capital's eateries boasting at least one of the coveted stars. Japanese restaurants dominated the top five, with Kyoto coming in third place and Osaka in fourth place.

In 2025, the degree of urbanization worldwide was at 58 percent. North America, Latin America, and the Caribbean were the regions with the highest level of urbanization, with over four-fifths of the population residing in urban areas. The degree of urbanization defines the share of the population living in areas defined as "cities". On the other hand, less than half of Africa's population lives in urban settlements. Globally, China accounts for over one-quarter of the built-up areas of more than 500,000 inhabitants. The definition of a city differs across various world regions - some countries count settlements with 100 houses or more as urban, while others only include the capital of a country or provincial capitals in their count. Largest agglomerations worldwideThough North America is the most urbanized continent, no U.S. city was among the top ten urban agglomerations worldwide in 2023. Tokyo-Yokohama in Japan was the largest urban area in the world that year, with 37.7 million inhabitants. New York ranked 13th, with 21.4 million inhabitants. Eight of the 10 most populous cities are located in Asia. ConnectivityIt may be hard to imagine how the reality will look in 2050, with 70 percent of the global population living in cities, but some statistics illustrate the ways urban living differs from suburban and rural living. American urbanites may lead more “connected” (i.e., internet-connected) lives than their rural and/or suburban counterparts. As of 2021, around 89 percent of people living in urban areas owned a smartphone. Internet usage was also higher in cities than in rural areas. On the other hand, rural areas always have, and always will, attract those who want to escape the rush of the city.

As of February 2025, India had a total of 413.85 million Instagram users, the largest Instagram audience in the world. The United States had 171.7 million users, and Brazil had 140.7 million. Indonesia, Turkey, and Japan ranked in fourth, fifth and sixth position, respectively. Kazakhstan is the leading country for Instagram audience reach, with 86.2 percent of the population using the social media service. Turkey came in second, with a penetration rate of 85.5 percent and Uruguay ranked third, with 87.1 percent, followed closely by the UAE, Brazil, and Bahrain. It took Instagram 11.2 years to reach the milestone of 2 billion monthly active users worldwide. WhatsApp, also owned by Meta, took 11 years, whilst Facebook took 13.3 years and YouTube took just over 14 years. Instagram’s demographics in the United States As of March 2025, Instagram was the fourth most visited social media service in the United States, after Facebook, Pinterest and X. Out of TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat, TikTok was the most used of all three platforms by Generation Z. Overall, 57 percent of Gen Z social media users used Instagram in 2021, down from 61 percent in 2020 and 64 percent in 2019.

In the 2019 Japanese Soccer League (J1) season, the average annual player salary for the first team squad of Vissel Kobe amounted to approximately 1.57 million U.S. dollars. The team is headquartered in Kobe, a city in central Japan located in Hyogo prefecture, and plays its home games from the Kobe City Misaki Park Stadium (also known as Noevir Stadium Kobe). Vissel Kobe was the best-paid team in Japan’s first soccer division (J-1) by a considerable amount in the 2019 season. Soccer vs. Baseball In countries with major sports leagues in soccer or baseball, usually one of the sports has established a dominant position in terms of popularity and market size, such as Major league Baseball (MLB) in the United States, or the Premier League in the United Kingdom. In the case of Japan, this dominance seemed to be less pronounced. The balance appeared to tip in favor of the Nippon Professional Baseball League (NPB) when looking at it from a monetary perspective, as the average annual player salaries of baseball players were in general higher than soccer players' salaries. The one notable exception was Vissel Kobe, which remunerated its players more generously than the highest paying baseball teams in Japan. In terms of popularity, both sports received similar viewer ratings on TV, while baseball pulled ahead in terms of venue attendance. International comparison of average soccer player salaries Vissel Kobe’s average annual player salary in the 2019 season seemed disproportionately high, especially when compared to other J1 teams’ paychecks. Compared to player salaries in other soccer leagues such as the Premier League in the United Kingdom, La Liga in Spain, or Bundesliga in Germany, the salaries of J1 players were still somewhat moderate. Vissel Kobe was the only team paying an average player salary of more than one million U.S. dollars per year. In the Premier League, for instance, an average player salary of more than one million U.S. dollars was the norm rather than the exception.
