My folks seemed fine with me listening to japanese music, my dad even wanted some Malice Mizer put on his MP3 player for work, which I have done, the only racism I can see is that the japanese music industry doesn't seem to get a wider market, which it should, its a shame I can't go down to my local HMV and pick up some japanese music that I like, but hopefully that will happen in the near future I suppose it has in some ways with Moi Dix Mois becoming big in parts of europe!!!
