I'm similar, but, like you, don't "proclaim it's superior" and always felt that a "Japanophile" would proclaim it as being superior in every way possible and have delusional views about it.

I like Japanese media (music, videos, and T.V.), DEFINITELY the people (#1 on my list), and its interaction on the international level politically. I really have not dived into the world of anime, manga, and video games like a lot of the people who want to visit Japan do.

I don't know what exactly I'd call myself.. but that's me.

'japanophiles'

geez, have you been watching jonathon Ross?
The Japan programme he hosts, is awfully entertaining, but most japanophiles probably aren't as bad as you think.




I OFFICIALLY own the following bad boys
Shinji(SID), Yuuki(Ancafe), Inzargi(MEGAMASSO), JaeJoong and YunHo (DBSK), Mayo(Panic☆ch), EunHyuk & Lee Teuk(Super Junior) and Kai(The Gazette),Saro (Kavki Boiz)

I half own/care for
Teruki(Ancafe),
You touch, You DIE.
