Does /jp/ like /mu/?

It does. However, you now can feel smug about not listening to entry level weeaboo music.

This.

I am Japanese. Are you Japanese?

>Since Japan was at war with America, politically, there is still this looking down. "Oh, isn't that incredible. That's so darling", things like that. This still continues. They also have the admiration of the frivolous Japan, such as Hello Kitty, Doraemon. It's simply an extension of 150 years ago when people, Americans again, were labelling Japanese people as childlike and calling this place Topsy Turvy Land, and Douglas McArthur was saying that Japanese people had the emotional age of 14. This tendency to juvenalise a politically inert opponent is one of taming them, so I think the new interest in Kitano and Miike, and the new violence is so condescending that I can't believe there's any real appreciation, because the frivolity of this suits the new frivolity at work in America. But I don't think it represents any real feeling any more than the Kung Fu boom, or the Zen boom, the Dharma bum boom, or any of the other booms. They're fads. I think America is just as given to victimisation by fads as Japan is. There's a lot more real problems there than Japan has. The attitude of America to most other countries is one of condescension. It's always been that way. There's always been that high moral stance.

This is right on the money. Although he's not specifically talking about anime, this is exactly the mentality of the average American weeaboo and by extension the reason they ruin everything they touch.

IN JAPAN SMALL CHILDREN BEING RAPED IS PERFECTLY NORMAL! YOU GAIJIN KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE THE SUPERIOR JAPANESE CULTURE!

Anyone here know of any online stores that sell J-Pop t-shirts, hoodies and whatnot, or is Ebay my best bet? Real, fake, doesn't matter.

Does anyone else think weeaboo music is more listenable than american pop music? I don't know anything about music theory, so I don't know how to describe it other than saying the vocals sound more "attractive" and "musical" The difference is noticeable even when you compare songs that are in english, so it can't just be the languages.

if you ask me it sounds like crap compared to something like this

I hate weeaboos. I don't conisder myself a weeaboo, I'm actually Japanese for real, well almost. I will be when I live in Japan though. Right now I'm studying japanese, japanese history and I'm following Bushido, the way of the warrior. This is why I hate weeaboos that know 5 words in japanese and use them all the time, kawaai baka DESU NE MOTHERFUCKER. I'm actually trying to become Japanese for real unlike all these faker wees. FUCK YOU WEEABOOS

So my question is, how good are my chances of becoming Japanese for real?
