I'd love to visit all over asia, but only Japan would be a place to live. I'm kinda weird because I'm not into japan for anime, manga, jrock or the normal japanophile/otaku type things. I love the culture and the language, love the food even though I cannot even forcefeed myself any kinds of seafood. I love my fiance who comes from there, I loved living there and cant wait till we move there permanently to start a family. Learning the language has been quite the challenge but I'm still going at it, even though I officially "started" learning in 2001. Jeeze it's been a while.

None of the other Asian countries interest me on this level. Nor do they have that connection that I have thru my fiance/future inlaws. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to visit...places like HK, Korea and Singapore especially appeal to me. But, I'd never see myself living there and being immersed in their language/cultures because they dont appeal to me on that kind of level. I guess maybe that does make me a japanophile? Maybe for my own reasons..lol.
