The only thing that really shows any signs of wanting to look western (at least I think) is the fact that the characters have caucasion skin.

I can only imagine this is once again what is popular! My girlfriend is desperate to have whiter skin, she even buys products to whiten it! Strange I though seeing as I'm white as a ghost & would like to be darker
Akita women are famous for being whiter than average & this is considered beautiful (I think it's akita-ken
)
What is popular among the populous is what generally gets thrown on TV!
This all speculation though maybe they really do want to look western, can't think why though!
