Whenever young people say "I want to live in Japan",Paris syndrome occurred to me.
Paris syndrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It seems that young people from the West are more naive than people from Asia.They know more realistic information.In other words,negative aspects of Japanese society.
Among western people,those who are interested in eastern philosophy and religion or Japanese martial arts (old school )are more mature.
Anime,Manga,Visual-kei fans from the West (new school,after spread of the Internet) tend to have most shallow and naive views　of Japan and
REAL LIFE.
