After speaking with a long-time friend who is living in Japan about what the country is really like, I learned some hilarious facts.
1) Japanese people don't watch anime that much. Naruto and Bleach are solely the domain of little kids. Stuff like Hellsing is really a niche market, which is why all of the anime that's internationally recognized as "good" is very short--it can never get funding or airtime, similar to American shows like Firefly.
2) Japanese people mostly listen to American music. There aren't a lot of techno/trip-hop/j-rock/j-metal fans compared to people who enjoy international music. Think about it, the country's the size of California, are they going to listen entirely to domestic shit? The Japanese tend to be fairly aware of musical trends beyond the banal shit that weeaboos are importing for hundreds of dollars an album.
3) Nearly all Japanese young men are either extraordinarily effeminate or way too nerdy to hang out with.
4) Everyone reads manga, but they're not really thumbing through Shonen Jump after the age of 13. Sorry /narutofan/, your love of the Dragon Ball manga is like a Japanese person obsessing over Tiny Toons comics from the early 90s.
TLDR: Not even Japanese people like the faggoty shit you love so much.
FUCK YOU WEEABOOS
Okay. doodthing;
People actually import Japanese albums?
"3) Nearly all Japanese young men are either extraordinarily effeminate or way too nerdy to hang out with."
This is quite true, just to add, a buddy of mine who is stationed in Japan reports that there is a small minority which tries to compensate for their natural frail, weak, small childish looking figures and small penis by behaving in an aggressive manner.
Weeaboos make Japan into being a fun country to live and work in, something it's not.
I feel like printing this out right now, and showing it to this one girl I know who's obsessed with Japan. She's contagious too. She got her dad into going to cosplay conventions. >.<

Only Sailor Moon, and unless they have magical evil fighting high school lolis in Japan I don't care.

Though Sailor moon was the shit, there is plenty of other good stuff out there.

My aunt/uncle/cousin live in Japan too, and they've told me similar things.
For instance, instead of being obsessed with manga like some people over here are, they're obsessed with american comic books. You know, spiderman, superman, batman, etc.
And then the people who are into stuff like anime and manga are usually considered nerds.
oh well i only like japanese video games anyway
Also, McDonalds is to America ans Starbucks is to Japan.
I have absolutely no desire, and never had, to set foot in that shit hole of a country.

And I actually like some of the scenery, especially the temples.

Video game giant Nintendo has its world headquarters in southern Kyoto. Sad to say, tours are not offered, and visitors are unlikely even to make it into the lobby; the best you'll be able to do is pose for a photo with the company logo on the plaza in front of the otherwise anonymous building.

Pretty soon they'll send out golden tickets with video games.

You are in no position to be making such accusations. Also, do some of you bother to research something before posting? Never mind, this is boyah. Anyway... there is no significant level of radiation currently at either Nagasaki or Hiroshima, you wont die or get pseudo cancer from visiting. Hint, there are over 2 million people currently living in the latter city.

But it still has a very high rate of cancer because of the lingering radiation.
I'm not setting foot anywhere near there...
They should have just turned the place into a junk yard or something.
