I've been wondering

[ThePowerOfOne]

Why do most of you like Japan so much? I've been wondering this for a while now. Is it because of the technology? Video games?

I have always loved Japan even before I started playing video games. I love it for the culture, the amazing food (Asian food is my second favorite, next to Mexican food :-*), beautiful places and buildings, and Japanese art styles. I also love it for Tokyo, one of the most awesome, loud, and fun places on Earth ;D   Sure there may be thousands of people everywhere who aren't the nicest... But its great. The clothes are freaking awesome, so cartoony, weird, and fun. Its just an all around fun, awesome place for me. I'm also fond of Thailand, not as crouded and loud, but still great.

So why do most of you like Japan? I MUST KNOW! D:

Japan>Other countries

TV shows like Trick, Kamen Rider, and GARO makes Japan awesome.
Japan's live action shows are much better than anime.

And they have some good musicians.

But why? All of you say that, yet most of you haven't even been there. You don't know what the people are like, the places, the food. You may have read about it or something, but you don't know what its really like. Japan just never seemed like the kind of place any of you would like. I mean, its so loud and fun, and most of you are, uh... Kinda boring :-X

Oh yeah, I forgot about their music and TV shows. Another reason I love Japan <3

I even love their comercials.

Japan is ok, but yeah, I don't know why people here are so obsessed with it.

I'm neutral. I hate the "japanophile" culture, and some of the anime, but some of the food's good.

They are not afraid to go all out with anything, no matter how silly it might be

Cuteness is a big part of the culture

The traditional culture is extremely rich and interesting

The traditional spirtualism is also intriguing

Their media is unparalleled (let's just leave it at that)

They seem to be at the forefront of human interaction and ingenuity

Akihabara

Mt. Fuji is very picturesque

Their language is eloquent and beautiful to listen to and read

Their language is also fun to say and fun to write

Traditional Japanese dress is beautiful

Absolutely great music, even their popular music is good

...I might start repeating myself now so I'll stop, but you get the point

I just like anime and video games. :P

[Friendly Hostile]

Japan is just one of many places I find interesting.  Personally I'd take going to Europe over Japan any day.

[Nayrman]

just like anime and videogames...
I'd like to visit there one day but I don't find it all that interesting.

[Tupin]

It's a pretty good country, but there are lots more I would want to see/experience first.

[Mystic]

I just like anime. :P

Just to be sure, you know there's more to Japan than anime ad video games right?

Oh, I know It just doesn't appeal to me, But Canada... =3

[HTA!]

I don't...

I would rather visit Northern or Southern Europe.
