I enjoy Japan's stuff a lot, but I wouldn't defend it if someone was badmouthing it.

Not much; I'm just a gamer.

Not much, I keep all the vns and hentai stored beneath layers of pointless shit that even I have trouble wading through.

They pretty much know that I'm a perverted nerd since my room is full of posters and figs.
>What do your parents think of your Japanophile-ism?
My dad doesn't really care. My mom is, or pretends to be, interested in my stuff. I think she always wanted a daughter so me being into dolls and girly shit is fine with her.
>Do they support or dislike your lifestyle?
Neither. They don't care about what I do with my free time.

They know I watch anime and know the language, they dont really ask for details and I don't tell them
Sometimes get worried that I'm a NEET with no plans to move out, but they say as long as I'm happy, they're happy

I make more money than any of my siblings do, I'm 30, I have more job security than my father does, I have a degree, and I'm trilingual.

My parents don't 'get' my otakudom, but perhaps they understand that they aren't in a position to judge.

My co-workers? I don't tell 'em. One or two of 'em has been to CoCo's, and one or two of 'em likes Naruto, but that's it. No point in talking to 'em because I couldn't find common ground with 'em even if I wanted to.

I miss Japan every day. I miss the convenience store food and the festival food and the fresh produce and the snacks and the beer and noodles and, some times, the soaplands.

It's a pity I've been too lazy to really learn the language, and it's sad that I am too cowardly to throw away my life and start over with one that would let me live there.

...it's also a pity that I don't really like Japanese people any more than I like Merkins, and it's too bad I get all depressed every time I get the X at a bar or restaurant. :/

My Dad doesn't give a shit. My mom knows that I've downloaded a shitload of anime, that all of my music is in Japanese, and that I plan on studying Japanese later on. (pretty much all there is to know unless you want to go into the composition of my porn collection) My sister has also listened to some of my music, and apparently likes it.

I don't think there's been a moment in my life when my parents haven't supported me or anything I've done. Not even the time I got caught.

97% (or damn near, it seems) soaplands and other floating world type places don't want anything to do with gaijin.

I'm not a constant patron of these places, but I found that, contrary to my expectations, it actually didn't seem to hurt my chances to ask them up front if gaijin were okay (especially over the phone so that I didn't have to face the X before I even got within 20 feet of the door.)

I eventually just asked a soapland that I was talking to on the phone (it was something I wanted specifically to try) if they knew of any other soaplands that would allow foreigners. They recommended a couple names, and I had a cab driver drive me to one of 'em.

I have never managed to get delivery health, or to attend any seku hara clubs or no-pan kissa (I'm not even sure the latter still exist. I am almost positive that the Japanese don't seriously eat sushi off naked women any more, though I still see it in their porn.)

So, um, I've only succeeded in attending one soapland, of the two that I heard existed. In Susukino. Yeah, not that impressive, but it's a start.

(The place was named "New Yorker" (in katakana) and if you need me to I can probably dig up the business card I got there.)

The website used to (a year ago) say "A big welcome to gaijin!" but I don't see it now. Pity; I can't remember how they said it.

Probably quite a bit, I own quite a lot of figures, speak qutie a bit of Japanese, but am simply too poor to buy more stuff. Living on your own costs you, you know.
