Umm teenage mutant NINJA turtles were created by an american comic book company. If you realize this that is okay. Just wanted to make sure though.

I was always into Asia, but at age eight I had neighbors....a family, the mother was japanese, father was american but spoke it, and they had a daughter who was younger than me. I became really close to them but I got upset at not understanding when they would have conversations in Japanese...so I started to learn, bit by bit. The stories about culture, food, history, etc., got me so into it. I liked anime at one point too, but it was never my Japanese focus.
Its been 12 years since then, I am now 20...wheee

Of course it was. It bastardised bits of Japanese culture for western kids though. I lapped it up. It set me on the path of being interested in Japan, soon finding Samurai Pizza Cats and Monkey and then eventually Kurosawa films and other stuff.

Ahh miss those guys

For me its the other way round. I fell in love with the culture & landscape & people of Japan, and as a result, got into Japanese music, anime & other entertainments. Heck, I'd go as far to say even the Adult Video scene really appeals to me. Just fits my personality

You like Adult Videos eh? ;) There's so many like subgenres in Japan it's hard to know whether someone's gonna just pose for hours or they're gonna take everything off! I tend to just look at pictures. I occasionally watch one of those videos where they just pose but they can get boring after a while!

I'm actually thinking of being a model over there. This sounds vain,I know,but I'm quite good looking. I've been told it for years and thought it was just,you know,what your mum says,but I'm blonde haired blue eyes,I should be popular over there.

Oh,and just to clear things up,it was Ninja Turtles in the US and Hero Turtles in the UK originally. It's Ninja Turtles again now.

When I was a child my grandmother took in lodgers from a nearby language school, and many of them were Japanese. I remember helping one of them unpack and wanting to be able to read their books and the words on the cardboard boxes ... it kind of went from there :)

The Japanese language is a seperate issue. I remember thinking it really sucked that we didn't learn Japanese at school,and if you live in Britain why aren't you learning Welsh? There is no useless language. Every language opens some doors,you know? If I don't know French,I just won't go to France. It's not the end of the world. So I didn't take French for my GCSEs and I started learning Japanese on my own. Sometimes I think I should have done both if I want to be a bit of a polyglot but I didn't see it that way.

I can only advise you give it a try. You'll never know otherwise. Videos/pics I've seen have delved more into the 'fetish' category. & I know what you mean about standing posing for ages. I've skipped forward video, & they still stand as before. Lol. I just think "Hmmm. Guess this is it". Lol

I've got a hypnosis fetish,but that's kind of one that no-one can help me with! Not much porn revolving around being hypnotised!

What kind of fetish do you have? I like nurse outfits and I like leather,oh and I like them as teachers but I like all sorts really. Except things like schoolgirls and tentacles,that's going too far even if they are adults really.

Sorry,I'm lowering the tone a bit here!

Hypnosis? Never heard of that one before. I like the tentacle stuff, & 'Japscat'. Yeah, hardcore stuff. Lol. I'm not one to judge, so feel, as long as its legal, anybody can be go for anything they like. I seen on this Japanese film (called 'Love Exposure') one guy it was swallowing woman's vomit. Its a film, I know, but I can guarentee theres people out there like that. I like J-Rockers too :)
