Just an article from a few days ago talking about how people are into Japanese culture.

Here is some stuff that I thought was interesting.

quote:
A record 3 million people around the world are now studying the Japanese language, compared with only 127,000 in 1997, according to the Japan Foundation and Tokyo's Marubeni Research Institute.

and

quote:
Critics say that Japan is merely a cultural prism, absorbing influences from abroad and reflecting them back, albeit altered to Japanese taste. But many say that it is precisely the attraction.

Im betting a large percentage of that 3 mill are anime geeks. I'm guilty too.

Thanks for the cool link, Gekiganger V! Not a bad article from MSNBC! I gotta admit that way back in 9th grade, I wanted to learn Japanese for some of the same reasons--when there's Japanese all around you in the comics you read, the movies you watch, and the music you listen to, it just starts becoming appealing to learn it for yourself...it's a virtuous circle, too, since those very hobbies can help dramatically improve your listening and speaking skills to near-native levels, combined with living there, of course. I assume most people stick with the language because the cultural interest spreads to all (not just pop) culture, but either way, wow! 3 million.....!

K man is forcing me to expand my mind. I had to just do a google search on balka.

Can we replace furry with ewok or wookie? Because Im sure we'd have more success finding a match.
