Realism, I don't understand your post at all, we are talking about people who want to go to Japan for the wrong reason, what does a local Japanese otaku has anything to do with this? He doesn't need to go to Japan????? And someone already cover this somewhat, the example of a Japanese who want to go to the state after watching die hard, it's just the same.....
Well there is no wrong reason to go to Japan. If he wants to go so he can buy all the Japanese Adult Videos or go meet AKB48 or whatever...then that's great.

I don't understand how anime is the wrong reason. Isn't anime made by native Japanese people for other native Japanese people?? It's a Japanese product that a lot of people love.


If a Japanese guy wants to come to US so he can read Superman/Batman comic books....I'd tell him that's awesome.

My only suggestion is to be fluent in Japanese if you're gonna live there for a long time. Read all the manga you want.
