For some people who are truly interested in Japan it is generally so- except on some aspects, for me there are some unexpected oddities.

For most people crazy about Japan though you have to admit a lot of them (not necessarily this guy but a lot of them) are really just interested in niche aspects of Japanese pop culture.
