I can give one bit of input... I don't get "omg you must be an otaku" when I tell people I'm interested in Japanese pop music anymore. I get "Oh wow, really? That's so interesting! What's it like?"

One of the best things about transitioning into the adult world, lemme tell ya. People don't make assumptions. At my age, being into a foreign music market makes you worldly, interesting, and different in a good way, not automatically a nerd. I've made CDs for several people, they don't always love it sure but they were openminded to it.

Tough it out, kids!

This, a thousand times this. Truth.

As for other japanese music fans, I've met a few but we always seem to have differing tastes. They'll be really into visual kei and j-rock and when I ask them about others all I get is "Ayumi who?"
