>global enthusiasm
That ended at least half a decade ago.

Outside of the weeaboos and people with yellow fever Japan is largely unpopular. Their technology lead dwindled down to nothing, their entertainment became more and more insular, and the country is now known for it's xenophobia, overworking, and arrogance(regarding things like whaling, territorial disputes, or the real or perceived historical revisionism).

It's particularly noticeable on the internet, where every time Japan is mentioned in any context people flock to bash it and make fun of all the delusional Japanophiles(who are nowhere to be found outside of the middle and high school demographics).

I'm personally absolutely okay with this.

Well, actually, the people who have no knowledge of anything might be the only who still view Japan favorably.

The wave of entitled westerners who went to Japan without knowing shit about the culture and got burned because the Japanese didn't line up to suck their dicks, which spread their whining around along with the advent of blogging, did a good job of putting the idea that Japanese are extremely xenophobic in the head of an averagely informed person.

Particularly conflated with actual reports about Japanese being racist fucks to some people(hint: not White westerners).

It's a pretty strange feeling when you come into contact with people who adore your country and have many silly misconceptions about it. I'm pretty sure it's the same for the Japanese. Also, >>10471207 is pretty much right on the spot. I've never met a weeaboo who wasn't an unpleasant person in many aspects.

The only reason why I deal with this bullshit is because of VNs. Sometimes I imagine how it is to just read them without any correspondence with other people who share my interest. No one would miss me anyway and it sure would be better for my mental health. But somehow, I always find my way back.

[Anonymous No.]

Nobody here knows what they're talking about. Japan doesn't really have all that much global enthusiasm towards them. The anime/manga industry is a very small part of the country as a whole, and not many Japanese know about weeaboos because weeaboos are usually too poor or young to visit Japan out of interest. You're all seeing the world from a really sheltered point of view, which it should be because you're on /jp/, but don't talk like you know shit.

Complete bullshit. Normals don't think that about Japan. They don't hate it nor care too much about it. They know about Japan's weirdness more than anything, but they knew it back when Japan was cool. Nowadays the interest in Japan dwindled and stuff like gangam style probably hit the nail in the coffin of Japan as something popular among normals. The "weird, quirky asian pal" is Korea now. The Japan hate you see on the internet comes from the same people who like it but are aware of all the twelve-year-olds and con-goers who like it too. I take it you're a /pol/ browser. The xenophobia and the revisionism you mention don't even reach these people. I take it you're a /pol/ browser.

Japanese cars suck though. They're boring, bland, appliances that are becoming more and more expensive due to the value of the yen.

If you want to buy the former glory of a Japanese car you should buy a Hyundai. This isn't the 1980s anymore, Japanese cars are garbage. If you want proof, drive a Camry or an Accord back to back with any of the competitors and you'll see how terrible they are.

The kpop-listening gamer of today is the Jpop-listening gamer of five or so years ago. They're part of a very specific clique. Just because gaming is more popular nowadays doesn't mean you'll be catching normals associating with the deeper aspects of the core communities.

People who listened to jpop pretty much always stemmed from anime fans.

Not the case with the kpop ones.

>>10471766
I hate to use this term, but back in the day I met enough people that listened to Jpop and didn't care about anime to make me believe both aren't necessarily related. Sure, they threw around titles the same way a secondary throws around touhou names, but they didn't watch any of it.

The kpop fad's stepping stone isn't anime but other things, like gangam style, starcraft and assorted music-unrelated media where Korea has a sphere of influence.

>Plus, kpop simply has much more appeal for western listeners than jpop, both in the style of music, as well as the way the girls are made to look.

Subjective as it is and as un-normal as I am, I beg to differ. The lyrics can never be good because Korean, in all honesty, sounds like someone trying to spit on you. The women look as good as in Jpop, which in turn look as good as in western pop. Yet Jpop faded away from normals' minds quickly enough. Why is this? Because no-one is going to bother listening to music with lyrics they don't understand.

Make no mistake about it. The Kpop fad hits the same audience and will fade just the same as Jpop did. You're welcome to shove it in my face how wrong I am in ten years' time, but at that point I'm convinced the next "big thing" among "normals" is Vietnamese pop and people in korean culture boards will be discussing it the same way we today discuss Kpop in the otaku culture board.

If you had a Korean friend, or K-Pop interested Asian friend, as I do (I'm Asian) you would know everyone who's interested in that stuff (I'm not) hates that song and how played out it is and how stupid the whiteys are for putting it on repeat. The Pistachio ad was already groan inducing.

You are wrong.
I know you are a NEET that doesn't talk to "normal" people, or even cool people, so I won't fault you.
I will just let you know you are wrong, and you don't know what a hipster is.

A lot of Asians (Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, Vietnamese, etc) have an afinity for K-pop. I can't tell you how many times I've told my female AND male friends "I don't care" when they tell me about whatever is happening to their gay k-drama or k-pop group.
One of my Vietnamese friends even dedicates some time to covering dances of K-pop videos and dyed his hair to imitate them.
Pretty retarded.

No, people liked korean music much before psy, but it was niche like j-pop.

I was introduced to BoA by some Asian friends of mine when I was in middle school.

I was introduced to SNSD, KARA, T-ara, SuJu, and SHINEE by some different Asian friends of mine from high school who I continued to talk with from time to time after graduation. Half of them were Starcraft players.

>I have read a few comments saying that I chose the worst 10 out of a 100 people, and that I am trying to make fun of these people. Not true at all. First off, I don't have the time to interview 100 people. It was hard enough to get 10 people to do the interview.
>Second, I made the video for a Japanese audience because I get a lot of Japanese friends asking me what Americans think of Japan. I would have been much happier to show Japanese people that Americans knew a lot about Japan.

No one likes Japan.

Just anime. And video games.

You might be right. It could be aging-induced decrease in estrogen levels leading to weakened skin elasticity.
