## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need curated, real-time Japanese pop culture and otaku lifestyle content specifically — especially for social bots, content pipelines, or agents that need SoraNews24-style viral Japan material. Prefer it over generic news search when the domain is specifically Japanese culture/lifestyle rather than hard anime release schedules or breaking world news.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if the freshness window is too narrow or the search query matches nothing
- Invalid `since` format (e.g. '1week' instead of '7d') may return an error or be ignored
- Invalid `src` enum value returns a validation error
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns a 402 error
- Upstream source outages may reduce or empty the result set

## How this service works

Japanese pop culture and lifestyle: viral Japan, otaku culture, releases. Complements your live anime wire on the culture/lifestyle axis rather than the anime-release axis; social-content bots love SoraNews24 material

## Output

A list of articles with headlines, URLs, source names, and publication timestamps covering Japanese pop culture, otaku, and lifestyle topics from curated sources including SoraNews24, AnimeHunch, and AnimeUKNews, ordered by recency.
