well, since this thread is about style, that's what i'm talking about. famous people in america have always showcased their dogs (or other pets). so, in the style/culture aspect, america has way more influence. the japanese look up to us (and other Western nations), so to speak, in that respect. if this weren't true, american/british music wouldn't be more popular than most japanese music over there (this is, btw, coming from a japanese person herself, who lives there, and has told me this is true). i wouldn't say japanese culture influence america itself just because a lot of people don't KNOW it's japanese culture. do you know what i mean? that's just american ignorance right there. but on the whole, i would say its america -> japan and not the other way around. i mean, in the entire world who is more well-known: britney or ayu?
