  1.  @Shadow__133  It's just that America has so thoroughly Americnaized Japan that, to its people, Japan is exotic enough to be interesting but Western enough to be approachable. Western people tend to like exotic things if they are "surface level": tangible things, like music, food, crafted goods, vacation spots, etc. They tend not to actually like eastern culture, though: intangible things, like values, worldview, societal organization, even politics, they view as either backwards or a threat. They only like foreign culture if they can keep it on a shelf.
